Course Description
The course provides opportunities for students to discover patterns and extract meanings from emerging trends. It
aids in developing their critical and creative thinking skills- essential tools for decision making and understanding
“ethics of care”. Global trends in the 21st century are examined and are either accepted or rejected on a sound set
of criteria. Students will be asked to create and analyze scenarios that will challenge them to (1) formulate their
stances on issues or concerns; (2) propose interventions and; (3) formulate alternative futures. The students will
realize the interconnections between their neural connections and social realities.
Learning Objectives

global issues.
To cultivate a capacity for independent, critical and creative skills:
To acquire basic skills in reasoning and communication;
To demonstrate students’ competencies by participating in advocacies and collective activities
that will steer the world towards positive change.
