Content Description
-
Words of Wisdom can come from anyone. In this text we discuss topics ranging from "Are Humans good by nature?" to "Is there a God?" to "Do I have the right to my own opinion?" Philosophy is the study of wisdom, and can emerge in our conversations in social media, in school, around the family dinner table, and even in the car. The text uses materials that are 2,500 years old, and materials that were in the news this year. Wise people come in all shapes and types, and from every culture on earth. We have poetry and folktales, sacred writings and letters. Dialogues and interviews, news columns, Ted Talks, You Tube recordings and even comedy are all a part of the content in this text.You will be most successful reading this on line.

This document showcases an 8-part modular structure for an Introduction to Global Humanities course created by Humanities Faculty Ruth Wollersheim in 2022 for a sabbatical project for Century College in White Bear Lake, MN. It includes original modular overviews written by Ruth Wollersheim followed by a collection of relevant learning materials for each module. Most learning materials can be accessed by students for free with the typical college library subscriptions and streaming services. The learning materials are interdisciplinary and multi-media. Each module usually includes 2 journal assignments, 2 discussion or group activities, and 1 quiz. The course culminates in an Art Inquiry Essay, which requires that students take a trip to a local museum (assignment description included).
