China, India); Classical civilization (Greece and
Rome); the Middle Ages (in Europe) and the
Golden Ages (outside Europe); the Renaissance
and the Reformation; Revolutions (scientific,
British, American, French, Industrial); the
foundations of modern nations; and Twentieth
Century events (World War I, the Russian
Revolution, the Great Depression, World War II,

themes - religion, warfare, society and
government. Students are expected to be ready
to discuss events and to ask questions in class.
The purpose of the course is to provide students
who are thinking about continuing on in history
with some background on a lot of topics. The
students can then decide which areas they
would like to pursue further at the post
secondary level.
Modern Life and Issues
MLI 31G
Dept. of Ed. Code 9930-31G Credit: 1
Prerequisite: Reserved for Gr. 11/12 students
What kind of society do you want to live in?
What kind of person do you want to be?
Examples of good and evil are all around us, yet
many people wonder whether ethical standards
even exist on which we can build our lives. Is
anything truly right or wrong? This academic
elective explores how individuals, as well as
societies, determine what is ethical; what is
morally right or wrong. Christian views will be
compared and contrasted with those of other
religions, as well as with secular ideas of
morality. Come prepared to share your views
and be challenged by the perspectives of others.
The course uses texts, movies and personal
experiences to grapple with this complex topic.
