Cíle předmětu
This class deals with the nature of tolerance and prejudice in modern society. While not focusing on any one culture, specific examples of actual incidents and behavior from various lands are used as case studies in order to understand the psychological, social and political mechanisms of discrimination. The class is organized as a "round table discussion" seminar wherein students come to class having read (and prepared to discuss) the texts and topic at hand with their classmates.
The objectives of the class are: 1)for students to analyze the nature of intolerance, identify its more subtle early forms, and assess the effect it has on society as a whole.
2)for future teachers to identify the tools they can use in their own classrooms as they teach their (elementary and secondary school) students about tolerance.
