<p>Psychology is the study of mind and behavior, the 鈥渉ow鈥� and 鈥渨hy鈥� of human activities.

<p><b>In Person/On Campus</b></p> <p>Course examines the ways in which Democracy became the established political system of government for many Nation States, particularly those in the West, under the influence of the Enlightenment. After the upheavals of the American, French, and Industrial Revolutions, Democracy, and its economic counterpart, Capitalism, became key components in the establishment of Nation States for many countries of the world. In this course, we will investigate the processes which allowed this political, social, economic, and, in many cases, religious transformation to take place. The course will also examine the roles played by Democracy and Capitalism in the development of New Imperialism; the challenges to Democracy presented the World Wars of the twentieth century; and the resurgence of nationalism in the twenty-first century.
