This course provides students with the opportunity to study the physical, political and socioeconomic features of Belize, its people, and the wider region – especially Central America and the Caribbean. It integrates perspectives from various disciplines including sociology, history, geography, and anthropology. Learners, through collaborative activities, critically reflect and evaluate their own knowledge and attitudes, and those of the wider community, regarding topics that affect how people in the region live, work and defend human rights. In particular, stereotypes from a historical perspective and their effects on modern democratic society, along with the role of technology, media and world politics will be examined.
