Introduction to Humanities II
Following the syllabus we looked as some African Art and Latin American Art - all courtesy of Google. I stressed Sudan because I have had many students from the Nuer tribe and some from the Dinka tribe. I also mentioned museums in DC regarding these. A main point in the presentation was a look at the fantastic use Venezuela has made of music education for their children and the contrast of that and its impact on Islamic civilizations where music is not allowed. What a difference. The quiz question concerned the guilt associated with Globalization - aka Americanization - which has been described as Imperialism. We live in the best country the world has ever seen (do you agree?) but it seems we do so at the expense of others who are not so fortunate. How do we deal with this guilt?
