YMN 511 Analyzing Culture and Youth
This course is designed to explore the identity development of adolescents as it relates to cultural influences. Chrono/Macro (global and national) through Micro (local) cultural entities, perspectives, and influences impact the identity formation, moral compass, and spiritual development of younger generations and subcultures, both directly and indirectly. These realities will be carefully considered and explored to equip youth workers with ministry strategies. A thorough synthesis of adolescent development
and
culture will be done
via general
contextualization principles
so as to
help students to cultivate their own personal set of such principles. (3 credits)
