We do want to raise the question, as Neil Postman does, of how we should look at the effects of technology. Authors Jerry Mander and Neil Postman pose two relevant questions rarely addressed. These and other questions will produce the creative tension Global Awareness Week 2000 seeks as it investigates technology in the modern world. Global Awareness Week is an interdisciplinary conference designed to prepare students, faculty, staff, and the community for life in the Global Community. From focus groups and assesment conducted by this office, we learned students placed a high value on Global Awareness Week as a learning experience when instructors prepared them for the sessions and gave assignments that involved discussion and writing.
All sessions are FREE and open to the public.
