SOCSC 12 The Contemporary World
 
This course explores the making of the contemporary world from an interdisciplinary social sciences perspective, seeking a comprehensive and critical understanding of modernity and its diverse aspects. It examines the cultural, economic, political and social transformations that have shaped the contemporary world and evaluates their effects on social actions, structures, spaces, ideas and institutions. This course also studies the processes that have brought about an increasing consciousness of the interconnections and interrelationships of local peoples and spaces around the globe, as well as dilemmas brought about by such changes and the responses to them. The perspectives and approaches emphasize the interfaces between local and global realities, situating the Philippines and its contemporary challenges amidst these complex processes.
