Module Overview
Introduction to the Cultural Events or Shifts in the Humanities
The humanities give us an opportunity to investigate cultural events that have occurred throughout history and even ones that we experience in our own lifetimes. These events reflect the “big questions” that humans have wondered about throughout history. You have probably noticed or even experienced some of these cultural events and shifts today that have stirred up questions about human life. For example, social media, a development of the digital revolution, has been both praised and criticized for its power to connect people. Social media and virtual interactions have changed and continue to change the way we communicate and interact in major ways.
