CORE 468 - Language and Society Prerequisites: Core 101-105 and at least sixth semester standing Delivery: Other This course will examine language usage from a wide range of the human experience, including science, history, psychology, sociology, politics, business, media, philosophy, literature, and art. Language is like air and water - essential for human life, but, because it’s all around us all the time, people tend to take it for granted, until its well being is threatened. So, humans must be thoughtful and ethical users and caretakers of language. Three core questions serve as the foundation and guide for the course: Who am I? What can I know? Based on what I can know, how shall I live?
