East Asian Civilization will explore the historical, cultural, social and philosophical roots of East Asia. East Asia or the Pacific Rim includes China (also Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao), Japan, Korea and Mongolia. This area is expected to be the newest economic and political powerhouse and has led many scholars to already name the 21st century the “Pacific Century.” The purpose of this course will be to introduce students to this vast, complex and strategic area by primarily using history and culture. It will stress major themes in East Asian civilization and these themes will connect to form a whole picture. Prerequisite: English 1, 20-801-201; or Comm.
