HI158X, Advanced Regional Studies in World History, is a detailed study of the development and critical events in the history of one of six regions, each with its own letter designation. As the stems are all a part of one course, cadets may not take multiple stems as electives. The focus on one 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, critical thinking, lucid writing, and effective participation in classroom discussion. HI158M combines with HI105 or HI155 to form the plebe history sequence of the Core Academic Program. The Middle East stem (identifier M) challenges cadets to study how social, political, economic, technological, and military factors have influenced international and multicultural relations and how these relations have influenced the development of specific societies, polities, cultures, economies, technologies, military systems, and gender roles throughout the Middle East. The course is for cadets who have demonstrated advanced proficiency in history courses.
