Selected topics may range from addressing the great questions of human existence such as What is a Good Life? or Who Owns the Past? to focusing on contemporary issues such as Sustainability , or Poverty, Economics and Revolution . The systemic problem-solving habits and research skills developed in this course will serve as the foundation for all further study in the Honors Scholar Program and therefore must be completed with a grade of "C" or better.
