In this unit students will investigate aspects of contemporary urban life and reflect in an ethical way upon them. Participants will explore the impact of such influential inventions as the watch and the automobile, and such institutions of daily life as the shopping mall and suburbia. Through these explorations, participants will examine to what degree and in what ways our attitudes and actions are conditioned by the modern realities of busyness, mobility, consumerism, and the dream of home ownership
