科目名 Topic Studies I - 1  A Study of Mark Twain's Views on Technology and Religion
担当教員 Aljets, Merritt G.
授業の目的、または到達目標 To gain knowledge of the effects of technology and religion on cultures past and present， discuss how technology and religion may be related and the importance of each to our lives (including benefits and problems)， and contemplate and discuss what changes the future may bring.

授業の概要 Students will choose opinions about technology and religion from Mark Twain’s Writings such as A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court， Captain Stormfield’s Visit to Heaven， and others. They will report on these opinions to the class. Using them as a starting point， the students will compare and contrast Twain’s opinions with those of more recent scholars， and try to formulate their own opinions of the effects of technology and religion on our present society. Concurrently， the students will incorporate these ideas into a research paper.
