HI108, in the first block, completes the study of the development of Western Civilization begun in HI107, starting from World War I and continuing to the present day. The remaining two blocks focus on a detailed study of the development and critical events in the history of one of five regions: Africa , East Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, or Russia. The dual focus (Western Civilization and one other region) enables cadets to develop a deeper understanding of a different culture and unfamiliar ideas and concepts. The course also develops methods of historical research and analysis, and seeks to develop the cadet's facility for critical thinking, lucid writing, and effective participation in classroom discussion.
