Humanity in Transition

The scope of the transformation humanity is undergoing is unprecedented in human history. It is important to gain perspective on this profound transitional moment in human existence. This class will survey the major realms of change, including from nationalism to internationalism and globalism, from patriarchy to gender equality, from capitalism to post-capitalism, from Newtonian-Cartesian worldview to Gaian worldview, from racial and ethnic chauvanism to universal humanism, from economic globalism to globally integrated decentralization, from materialism to integrated human development, from sect-oriented religion to universal spirituality, and from earth-based to space-based existence.
