Contemporary+Global+Issues

Welcome to the wonderful world of Contemporary Global Issues! At the outset, I want to state that my goal in this class is to teach you **__HOW__** to analyze and study a global issue, not necessarily **__WHAT__** the current global issues are. The world we live in is dynamic and always changing. The issues that our parents faced are very different than the issues our generation faces today. Therefore, if you leave this class with an understanding of **HOW** to research a global issue, you'll be better equipped to make a difference in the future (and, perhaps, even today!).

Below, you will find all things necessary to help you be successful in this course. I'm looking forward to an outstanding semester!
