Trends, Networks, and Critical Thinking in the 21st Century Culture for Senior High School

The course provides opportunities for students to discover patterns and extract meanings from emerging trends. It aids in developing their critical and creative thinking skills – essential tools for decision making and understanding “ethics of care”. Global trends in the 21st century are examined and are either accepted or rejected on a sound set of criteria. Students will be asked to create and analyse scenarios that will challenge them to (1) formulate their stances on issues and concerns; (2) propose interventions and; (3) formulate alternative futures. The students will realize the interconnections between their neural and social realities.
