UF 100-017 The Biggest Questions

Class #71920, MoWe, 10:30-11:20am, MCMR, Rm 205, Shelton Woods

Life’s Biggest Questions – Everyone asks questions; some are more important than others. Civilizations and cultures (Eastern, Western, Buddhists, Moslems, Christians, Materialists) ask the same key questions: Where is happiness found?
Why is there so much evil and sorrow in the world? What’s wrong with me? What is behind the universe? This class, taught by an Eastern scholar, examines all the major worldview responses to life’s biggest queries, while exploring our
assumptions.

Class #73328, MoWe, 3:00-4:15pm, Interactive Learning Ctr, Rm 204, Carrie Seymour

Using ideas from philosophy, cultural anthropology, and sociology, this course section will explore the moral and ethical implications of how labels and stereotypes perpetuate outmoded or limited ideas about the nature of “acceptable” social traits and behaviors throughout the world. By looking at various “deviant” categories, and studying the social codes and contexts that inform the perception of those categories, we will then look at how the penal system in America is a case study of how those perceptions play out for 2.26 million people every day.

UF 200-048 Foundations of Ethics and Diversity (Idaho History)

Class #75566, TuTh, 1:30-2:45pm, Riverfront Hall, Rm 309, Emily Fritchman

When folks think of the State of Idaho, “diversity” isn’t usually one of the first words that come to mind. Why is that? A look into the past reveals that the Gem State has a rich and unique story to tell. In this course section, we will examine
Idaho’s history through the lenses of morality, ethics, diversity, and justice. What role has race played in our state’s history? What about incarceration and imprisonment? Gender and sexuality? How have Idahoans worked together to
fight injustice? A cursory exploration of these topics will help us understand how these big issues occur on a local level – and how we can continue to foster positive change going forward.
