Credits: 3 hrs

“The dynamic global nature of the 21th century has higher education experts focused on best practice for preparing graduates to thrive in today’s economy and to become informed citizens”. Exploration of the youth cultures forms a dynamic parameter to understanding the next generation of leaders in the world and studying the cultural changes of the new generation of intellectuals. China’s huge societal and historical changes in the last three decades simultaneously molded the distinctive personalities of the post-1950s/60s generation of parents and their post-1980s/90s children, which provide an ideal example to address the points mentioned above. To accomplish the above objectives and maximize student interactions, the course involves an individual research project and group discussion, regular readings and oral presentation.
