In this course, we will study great individuals who have shaped events from ancient Babylonia to the Holy Roman Empire. Also, we will study the great ideas that propelled these historical events, from the idea of equality under the law to the vision of bringing new political, cultural, and economic order to the world. Topics, for instance, will include the histories of the classical civilizations of the Middle East, China, India, Greece, and Rome and the legacy of the ancient world, technology, science, and the Renaissance. The course rests on the conviction that history is made by great individuals, great ideas, and great events and gives equal attention to politics, culture, religion, economics, and society. However, this course also departs from traditional European and nation-centered perspectives and instead focuses on how world history relies on the diversity of various peoples and how these peoples and their various racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, and cultural backgrounds shaped the global past. We will focus our attention, for example, on the following questions during the course: 1. Does monotheism represent an evolutionary advance over polytheism? 2. What similarities are between Christianity and Buddhism? 3. What does Marathon tell us about preemptive wars? 4. Does the Roman economic crisis have any lesson for us today? 5. Why did the Romans persecute the Christians? 6. What are the the purposes of a university? 7. Did microbes change history? 8. Can Columbus be called a great explorer? 9. Is Michelangelo the greatest artist of all time? 10. Do great men and women make history or does history make them? Lesson 1: Hammurabi and the Code of Law (1750 BCE) Lesson 2: Moses and Monotheism (1220 BCE) Lesson 3: Buddha (526 BCE) Lesson 4: Confucius (553-479 BCE) Lesson 5: Solon and Democracy (594 BCE) Lesson 6: The Battle of Marathon (490 BCE) Lesson 7: Caesar and the Rubicon (49 BCE) Lesson 8: Jesus (36) Lesson 9: Muhammad (622) Lesson 10: University in Bologna (1088) Lesson 11: Black Death (1348) Lesson 12: Columbus and a New World (1492) Lesson 13: Michelangelo and His Work (1508) Lesson 14: Erasmus and His Writing (1516) Lesson 15: Luther's Reformation (1517)
学習到達目標
The class has two main goals. One is to provide you with a basic factual understanding of world history through the study of great events that have shaped history, including major social, political, economic, and culture events. Just as important, however, is the ability to use this information productively. Thus, this class will also stress the ability to integrate the mass of factual data into some basic understanding of the global past, and of the issues which concern historical thinking about marginalization and marginalized people. In addition, the examinations are designed to develop the ability to think critically. Rote memorization is not as important as the ability to produce and evaluate arguments based on historical evidence. Please do not forget that the most effective learning occurs when you are actively involved.

There are many sources that are used for teaching world history in this course. Dr. Brezina studied various primary and secondary sources (articles, book, dissertations, etc.) during his years as a teacher and professor of history that will allow him to interpret world history objectively and address the full range of a variety of peoples' histories, including marginalized populations. For example, he will draw from these books, The Black Death by Patrick Byrne, The Founders of the Faith by Michael Carrithers, From Solomon to Socrates by Victor Ehrenberg, They Made America by Harold Evans, The Civil War by Shelby Foote, The Great Crash by John Galbraith, Renaissance Rivals by Rona Goffen, The Greco-Persian Wars by Peter Green, Gutenberg by John Man, The Defeat if the Spanish Armada by Garrett Mattingly, The Admiral of the Ocean Sea by Samuel Morison, Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans by Plutarch, and Roman Medicine by John Scarborough, all of which are commonly used as objective and multi-cultural history books/textbooks in U.S. higher education. Furthermore, Dr. Brezina will use various primary sources such as the Archive American, Native Americans Documents Project, African History Sourcebook, EuroDocs, Europeana and Women and Social Movement.
(However, Dr. Brezina does not require students to purchase or use these books.)
