This senior-level course’s central focus will examine
the reasons why conflict is a component of human nature and why humans strive
for a better world. The course will begin with exploring internal conflict,
then quickly progress to studying external conflict. Readings are compiled from a variety of
sources, to include both fiction and non-fiction, and both classical and
contemporary. Selections span the
history of the written word, including Unbroken,
The Other Wes Moore, Debs at War, Kite Runner, Henry V, and Slaughterhouse-Five. Poetry, short stories, essays, and
documentaries will also be a part of the course.
All students will be expected to complete a senior
thesis in which students conduct an in-depth exploration of a significant
contemporary issue. Students will go
through an extensive process exploring topics, writing annotated
bibliographies, drafting, revising and editing to complete the 7 to 10 page essay.
