KCC 208 The Butterfly Effect

It has been said that a butterfly flapping its wings in Chicago can cause a typhoon in Southeast Asia. In this course, the second course in The Globalist cluster, we will explore this phenomenon as it applies to a variety of notable scientific topics. We will analyze the impact human action has on the environment and ecosystems and how the effects of these actions have crossed political, cultural, and geographic borders. Prerequisites: KCC 206 and KCC 207, or concurrent enrollment with KCC 207

KCC 209 Global Ripples: Diving into the World

In this course, the third and final course in The Globalist cluster, we will get up close and personal with the ripple- effects of globalism across various communities within the societal hierarchy. In an increasingly globalized world, cultures are colliding and combining in new ways. This offers us the opportunity to reflect on assumptions about borders—how they're made, are they real or imagined, who decides where they're located, and in what ways they are defended. Prerequisites: KCC 207 and KCC 208, or concurrent enrollment with KCC 208
