Course Outcomes
In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following outcomes:
Using evidence from cultural artifacts and systems, develop questions about fundamental aspects of human culture that inform personal assumptions, beliefs, and values.
Investigate significant developments in the humanities to inform critical questions related to human culture and endeavors.
Determine fundamental approaches to studying the humanities in addressing questions about how cultural artifacts and the culture they are created in have influenced each other.
Articulate the humanities” value in terms of their impact on contemporary issues, focusing on how humans generate unique meanings.
Overview
The enduring relevance of the humanities is that they encourage us to consider the”big ideas.” From wondering what culture is to how we study it and the relationship between objects of cultural and historical significance and the culture in which they are created, the study of the humanities is all-encompassing. The relationship between the creators of works of cultural and historical importance, the things they make, and how human meaning is generated through cultural works are part of the themes we will explore in this assignment. Humans seem driven to express and create in our search to understand and be understood.
Scenario
For this assignment, imagine you are a researcher of human cultures and an anthropologist looking back to the future and our world today. In this position, you develop a natural curiosity about cultural works and how they represent a particular culture. You are also curious about how cultural works influence the environment in which they exist. You are new at your job, and your first project is to thoroughly analyze today’s culture via cultural work, looking to understand how it represents the culture and reflects its cultural environment. The results of your analysis will be used to craft the copy for a brochure accompanying a museum exhibit about cultural works of the current year.
