SOC 371 – Technology & Society*SSC – 38821 – 101

This course is designed to help students think about technology. Most of us are users of technology, but few have reflected on it sufficiently to examine it critically, its effects on our lives, our work, our environment, our consumption patterns, even our thought processes. Yet it affects every facet of our lives, and also affects the lives of people across the globe through a chain of production, consumption, and disposal. The class will focus on technology and history, culture, environment, scale, systems, change, and the future, with special emphasis on the ‘smart phone’.

POLS 318 – The American Dream – 38891- 101

“Americans and those from other countries have historically sought pursuit of The American Dream of success, fame and fortune via hard work, industriousness and thrift. However, the recent global economic downturn has raised the specter The American Dream is no longer achievable for the majority of global citizens. Moreover, the underlying premises of The American Dream have come into question. This course will examine the historical basis, ethos, myth and reality of this elusive concept. In particular, the course evaluates four central foci of The American Dream: (1) Immigration; (2) The pursuit of wealth, (3) fame and fortune, and (4) home ownership.
