Students study the major turning points in American history focusing on the twentieth century. Following a review of the nation’s beginnings and the impact of the Enlightenment on U.S. democratic ideals, students will study the emergence and impact of new technology and a corporate economy, including the social and cultural effects. They trace the change in the ethnic composition of American society; the movement toward equal rights for racial minorities and women; and the role of the United States as a major world power.

Global Studies is a survey of the culture and land of non-Western regions of the world.  It is designed to broaden our perspectives as world citizens.  We will examine the culture, history, politics, economics, and social systems of Africa, East Asia (India, China, and Japan), Latin America, and the Middle East.  We will place special emphasis on identifying similarities and differences in these cultures, recognizing ethnocentric world views and understanding the impact of these cultures on the United States and visa versa.
