NCE 333 - People of the Appalachian Mountains
4 Hour(s)
From the Scots-Irish roots of its early settlers to its role in labor relations, the people of the Appalachian Mountains have created a way of life that differs from the rest of the United States. They are a people of great pride and conviction, yet they are often presented in the media as a simple-minded, inbred people who, while humorous to watch, pose a potential threat to outsiders. From the comic strip Snuffy Smith to the movie Deliverance and television series Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, this culture remains a mystery or joke to most outsiders. This cross-cultural experience will provide students with an opportunity to learn about a culture similar in nationality and racial makeup, yet different in traditions, ethnicity and environment. Students will examine how stereotypes differ from reality by talking with native Appalachians, visiting historic sites, discovering new interpretations of events, and traversing inhospitable terrain. Students will gain an appreciation for the pride people of the Appalachian Mountains take in maintaining their cultural heritage and in the process recognize their own cultural identities .

4 Hour(s)
General Education P2 and CCD
This course is an introduction to the study of contemporary non-Western philosophy: philosophical traditions that originated and developed in the cultural regions of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Students will engage in an in-depth study of three works by contemporary thinkers that exemplify philosophical discourses of the three geographical and broad cultural areas identified. By means of the study of these distinct approaches to the discussion, for example, on the foundations of knowledge and reality, conceptions of the divine and the afterlife, ethical and political theories, students will be required to reflect on these works per se as well as in relation to their specific cultural and intellectual traditions, and to their intrinsic post-colonial character as reactions to distinctively Western and Classical philosophical and political theories.
