This unit provides you with the ideas and encouragement to build upon your curiosity and creativity to view the world in a new light by investigating a range of differing ideologies and beliefs such as those of nationalism, radicalism, feminism, conservatism, narcissism, colonialism and racism, and Maoism and Taoism. The unit makes a case for the lifelong benefits of wide and critical reading. It is committed to deep thinking and learning through engaging with key texts that examine ideas across a range of cultures. Focussed engagement with texts will improve your critical thinking skills as you closely read and imaginatively respond to texts, movements and their at times provocative ideas.
