| LIBS 628 - EAST ASIA: PAST AND PRESENT |
|
East Asia has stood out in human history in many dimensions such as population scale, literate civilization, and economic progress. Its 2,000 year-long history and Confucian culture have amazed the world, while its past social turbulence and recent, rapid industrialization have equally surprised many in the West. Combining an historical survey of the region's political and social development with a topical examination in traditional and contemporary East Asia, this course attempts to: 1) foster an overview of East Asia's culture, history, and society; 2) understand the impact of cultural and social change on human relations; and 3) examine the cultural similarities and differences between the West and the East.
