ISF 60 - Technology and Values in the Global Arena (3 Units)
Instructor: Cipolat. TT 8-9:30 AM, 101 LSA, Exam 16, CCN: 45803
Focus: This course explores the interplay between science, technology and values in today's society - a society that is becoming increasingly globalized, not only in regard to its modus operandi (global capitalism, consumerism, and worldwide instant communication all promoting a shared global culture), but also in regard to the threats it is facing. Traditionally, scientific and technological advances have helped cope with threats to human existence. In the 20th century, however, they have in many ways accentuated these threats. They have also been instrumental in illustrating the dual impact - both positive and negative - of many new inventions. We will examine the ethical and cultural issues surrounding the latest generation of technological advances, drawing on classical, academic and popular sources including film. The goal of the course is to provide students with an interdisciplinary introduction to key areas of societal conflict in the 21st century.

In particular, we will examine the major elements of Freudian psychoanalysis, Eriksonian ego psychology, and contemporary sociobiology.

Third, it examines the impact of the internet on contemporary social movements in a variety of global regions. Among these regions are South Africa, Vietnam, Iran, the United States, and Brazil.
