Throughout human history, there’s never been a shortage of crises, keeping people disgruntled and divided. Sometimes difficulties have been caused by nations’ competing for resources. Other times, people have clashed over religion and ideology. Strife has also arisen when individual and international bullies have harassed their neighbors into fighting for their lives, and their liberty. Such challenges have been daunting, but they’ve also provided occasions when human beings set aside their differences, rejected violence, and dedicated themselves to building a better world. This course examines historical events when human beings refused to succumb to violence and division and chose to not let their differences make a difference.
