Additional Course Details:
This course meets jointly with HUMA 401W.02. Its topic this semester is POWER AND RESPONSIBILTY. How does power go and hand and hand with responsibility? What happens if you have one without the other? How do individual power and responsibility interact with the power and responsibility of a group? What makes a good leader and why? We will examine these issues using ancient texts, modern literature, history, films and psychological studies.
