CNX 194 - Welcome to the Future

Description
From the Oracle of Delphi in ancient Greece to modern-day political pollsters and Wall Street analysts, people have long looked for better ways of knowing what tomorrow will bring. Students in this course will critically evaluate how various writers, artists, researchers, and others throughout history have tried to portray and make predictions about the future. Students will consider multiple, sometimes conflicting perspectives about current social, economic and global trends to help them formulate and defend their own ideas and recommendations about the future.
