Eastern Civs. is a survey course focusing on the culture of peoples living in the Eastern Hemisphere. Our culture is determined through various aspects of our lives such as the Social Organizations we belong to, the Language we speak, the church we attend, how we greet one another, our music, how we govern each other, and the economics of it all. We will focus on these elements of culture as we study places like China, th Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia. As we learn the culture of these foreign places we will try to make connections and comparisons in order to better understand our differences. We will also look at the geography of these areas and how it has impacted the lives and cultures of these people. The primary objective is for you to develop a deeper understanding of the world around you and to recognize that technology has made our world a lot smaller
