Trends, Networks and Critical Thinking in the 21st Century

This course provides opportunities for students to discover patterns and extract meanings from emerging trends. It aids in developing their critical and creative thinking skills -- essential tools for decision-making and understanding "ethics of care".

Global trends in the 21st century are examined and are either accepted or rejected on a sound set of criteria. Students will be asked to create and analyze scenarios that will challenge them to (1) formulate their stances on issues or concerns; (2) propose interventions; (3) formulate alternative futures. The students will realize the interconnections between their neural connections and social realities.

Pre-requisite: Pilosopiya ng Tao / Understanding Culture, Society and Politics
