Concordia 2007-2008 Catalog
Course:
Hst 411 Madmen, Martyrs, Saints and Terrorists (3)
Capstone course that explores the theme of heroism from historical, religious and social psychological perspectives. How does one define heroism? What makes someone a hero? Particularly important will be an exploration of those individuals who are willing to die or sacrifice significantly for their cause. What motivates a person, for example, to be a suicide bomber? Why do some communities view that person as a martyr and others as a terrorist? Are there objective criteria that can be used to distinguish between the two? This course will explore such questions and others, including the fundamental questions: What/who is worth living for and what/who is worth dying for? Restricted to seniors.
