教育目標

The course aims to: 1. introduce students to the history of Western civilization and help them build a foundation for their studies in the English Majors Program; this means that key historical figures and concepts which are likely to be referred to in different courses in the department (e.g. King David, Socrates, Julius Caesar, Martin Luther, chivalry, the Renaissance, the industrial revolution, Napoleon, etc.) will be discussed. 2. familiarize students with key cultural concepts and vocabulary (e.g. artifact, mainstream culture, marginal culture, ideology, taboo, gender, monotheism, etc.); this means that students develop stronger reading skills and enlarge their vocabulary. 3. encourage critical thought regarding many aspects of, not only Western civilization, but also other world civilizations (such as, e.g., religion, gender roles, class, race, governmental systems, etc.)
