Modulzuordnungen

Kommentar/Beschreibung

This course offers an exploration of the complexities and challenges of American democracy, from its founding to the present day. Through a critical examination of historical and contemporary texts, students will analyze the ideals and realities of American governance, investigating the tensions between liberty and equality, individual rights and collective responsibilities, and the ongoing struggles for justice and representation. The class will examine relevant documents and positions adopted by influential people, including America's foundational documents, texts by Tocqueville, Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, and contemporary thinkers.
Through engagement with primary sources, scholarly debates, and current events, students will gain a deeper understanding of America's democratic heritage and its ongoing evolution, as well as develop critical thinking skills to navigate contemporary debates, particularly in the context of this year's presidential elections and their implications for the future of US democracy.
