Course objectives
Elective course intended for students at the end of the Master's degree program. Here are some of the unpredictable questions that emerge explicitly and latently during the course of study, but for which clarification did not take place. We especially recommend the subject to those who have completed the course Lifestyle and Environmental Problems. In any case, the seminar is not a tutor for state final examinations!
Syllabus
  • For example, can changes in individual behavior solve environmental problems? Does the change of life necessarily mean a victim? Did the human evolution evolve as a creature responsible for its behavior? We will try to cope even with the themes considered in our society, in the media, but sometimes in the environmental movement, as being delicate or taboo; For example, we will be interested in the environmental context of population development, so-called direct actions, misanthropic attitudes, etc. Other questions can be opened on the basis of suggestions from students.
