World History allows for a better understanding
of the complex global community that we live and participate in on a daily basis. We look at many aspects of our global community as they relate to political,
economic, historical, geographic, religious, and culture themes as they relate to the past and
present events of both the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. The goal is to gain a better understanding of the world around us and how it affects our
everyday lives here in the United States.
