This course is designed to introduce students to American life and values and their reflections in social, cultural, and political institutions.

The course starts with the 1910s and ends with the 2000s and includes readings which illustrate these topics. Throughout the course, students explore American social, cultural, and political institutions as examples of the American way of life. |
