Human Values and Belief Systems

Section 64420

  • Note: This course is for Birnkrant Residential College residents. For D-clearance please email Prof. Ryan Boyd at ryanaboy@usc.edu This Writing 150 thematic will promote the development of strong writing and critical reasoning skills by providing students an opportunity to examine those values, belief systems, and ideologies that affect every dimension of our lives, whether personal, social, professional, or civic. We will approach writing as a recursive process of engaged reading, invention, arrangement, revision, and editing. The texts we produce will demonstrate respect for the needs of readers and will exemplify the kind of ethical rhetoric that has the potential to engage with and influence the worlds values and belief systems in positive ways.
