In this course we will focus on researching and critically understanding the role
of different global organizations in dealing with global issues that people in the
world face in the 21st century. You will research global organizations such as
Greenpeace, Doctors Without Borders, Human Rights Watch, The World Bank,
and various United Nations agencies such as UNICEF and UNESCO to analyze
their positions, policies and priorities in addressing different global issues such
as environmental pollution, famine, health, and poverty. Through the semester,
you will research organizations of interest to you, as well as develop your ability
to look at those issues and organizations critically and to decide what actions
can also be taken locally to resolve such global issues. The course will help you
develop your vocabulary for talking about global issues, as well as different
academic skills including note-taking, discussion and presentation.
