World History- Sebek

This course covers the major turning points that shaped the modern world, from the late 18^th century through the present, including the cause and course of the two major world wars. Students will trace the rise of democratic ideas and develop an understanding of the historical roots of current world issues, especially as they pertain to international relations. Students will extrapolate from the American experience that democratic ideals are often achieved at a high price, remain vulnerable and are not practiced everywhere in the world. Students will also develop an understanding of current world issues and relate them to their historical, geographic, political, economic, and cultural contexts.
