Deskripsi:

Students are motivated to critically explore and understand issues that have and are still
going on in Asia. Although the course will only touch on the somewhat superficial layers of the
some important issues in Asia, it is expected that students become literate and aware of their
surroundings, in terms of social, political and cultural problems and discourses. This course is
an initial process to identify, acknowledge, and comprehend issues that shape a nation, society,
and community that have shaped this world. In addition to that, it is expected that after joining
this course, students will demonstrate their abilities to relate one issue to the other(s), and
understand the workings of the world’s societies better so that they can participate more in
whatever field they are interested in. Eventually, after having discussion on each theme in this
course, it is not expected that students come with one, single, and similar conclusions, because
this course is not about making moral judgments and/or agreement the issues presented. This
course is about understanding the world’s where we live in a critical way where rights or wrongs
are sometimes simply a matter of choosing one side of a coin.
