Course Overview
The development of human history forms the world today: likewise, important concepts which shape the modern world such as nationalism, democracy, and revolution also have their historical origins. Thus, the study of history helps students understand the human world by exploring into its origins in the past. Furthermore, in order to make sense of current affairs, it is also important to study the past as everything which is happening around us has been influenced by, or is a result of, the things that preceded it.
