CSU San Bernardino

Course goals and objectives: This course is designed to help you to understand the
origins and historical development of United States institutions, the evolving role of the
country in the global community, its economics and politics, the arts, and the
contributions of ethnic and gender groups to the development of each of these
components that make up the tapestry of the past, which have given us our present
state of existence. We will have a fantastic journey through time and there are certain
key elements that you must recognize in this process:
1. Use of chronology to place events in historical perspective.
2. The recognition of multiple causations in history.
3. Viewing history in ways that take into account the values, attitudes, and motivations
of the individuals as well as groups involved before making judgments.
4. Recognizing multiple perspectives that are grounded in genuine search for truth.
5. Critical analysis of how history is presented in a variety of mediums – the evolution
of historical imagery and historical consciousness.
6. Most significantly – the development of your own historical interpretations.
