Have you ever dreamed of visiting a far off land, learning about the culture and attempting to understand why it works the way it does? Have you ever wondered why the United States is so involved in the affairs of others, and why other nations affect your daily life? In our class we will study both current international affairs, attempting to reason why the stories we hear in the news affect us, as well as study public speaking and basic diplomacy. Ultimately, we will be assigning each individual a country to represent in a Model United Nations session, where we will take all that we have learned and use it in practice. Hopefully we can learn a bit more about different cultures and in the end, go all around the world together.

Do you want to stop wondering quietly in your head/ obnoxiously asking out loud "Oh my God, is that a sari?" Every time you see a vaguely Indian looking outfit? Better yet, do you want to learn how to wear a sari yourself? And learn some basic henna designs while you're at it? And get some swagtastic bindis and bangles straight from India to take home? And most excitingly, learn the cultural significance behind every element of a traditional Indian outfit? Well, you're in luck.
