Does globalization mean that we are condemned to lead our lives at the mercy of American corporations such as Microsoft, McDonalds and Coca-Cola? Is the totality of our culture shriveled to the depth of a Disney cartoon or a Hollywood blockbuster?
‘Whether we like it or not, America leads the way in the globalization process and there must b e considerable merit in knowing more about the structures shaping the environment in which we will live and work in the 21st century.’
The aim of this study is to provide a holistic approach to the study of the culture and society of America. Whatever your main interest – history, literature, geography, politics – you will have the opportunity to experience a broad-based range of options in American Studies. Added to this a reader will have the opportunity to study in one of an expanding number of universities in Canada or the United Sates.
Through American Studies you will learn to face the challenges of the ‘real’ world by expanding the knowledge and analytical skills as well as developing communication skills, both written and oral. These studies deal with the issues of importance to today’s students such as gender issues, race and ethnic relations, economic and political conditions, as well as exploring the impact of popular culture (films, music, etc.) on the development of American society.
If you are looking for a forward-thinking, exciting, and expanding program of study, then this is the real subject for you.
