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.
