SOC 185 Human Rights and Global Development

A study of the multiple interrelationships between political structure, political movements socioeconomic development, environment, and global population change. From a global perspective shifts in population composition, quality of life and resource management and availability, and how these societal conditions are influenced by such forces as political organization, international relations, religion, and environmental conditions will be explored. Comparisons among these socioeconomic and political dimensions between developing and developed nation-states will be discussed, along with the possible implications of globalization for the United States.
