World History 2
Offered By: CrashCourse via Independent
Course Description
Overview
In 30 episodes, John Green rethinks world history! In round two we take a different approach and try to think more thematically rather than chronologically. By the end of the course, you will be able to:
- Think about history thematically and in terms of systems, not just important events
- Analyze the context of historical events, developments, and processes and explain how they are situated within a broader historical context
- Explain the importance of point of view, historical situation, and audience of a source
- Question how what we think of as “history,” how it is written, and what biases are at play in a work
