...Life in Mexico Hello everyone, my name is Jose Rodriguez. I am 34 years old now. I came from Durango, Mexico, which located in the northern part of the country.

The course differs from the traditional Western Civilization class in that the entire world rather than Europe alone is the focus of study.

Why has the intercommunication, interaction, and interdependence of the peoples of the world become so much more intense during the past 500 years than they were in earlier ages? How and why did western civilization rise to global domination in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and how has the challenge of western power and cultural prestige affected the course of history of all the World's people? Finally a question that we should be asking throughout the semester: how have the patterns of world history over the past 500 years determined or affected 1) the way we now live and think, and 2) our prospects for peace, prosperity, and the "pursuit of happiness" in the coming decades? This course is NOT primarily a narrative survey of civilizations, dynasties...
