UNR04 Introduction to Humanities (OpenUnis SP 2 2023 Curtin OUA - EXT[1]): Humanities, Week 2 Jacqui Symons - J.Symons@curtin.edu.au Hi everyone. In Topic 1 we explored values; you were invited to explore your own personal values and to also consider societal values eg Australian values, and how they impact our society as a whole eg what impact do Australia's values have on the welfare and happiness of it's citizens? Is this the same for other countries? eg North Korea, for example. This week you will explore social systems further. Topic 2 invites you to identify different economic systems as necessary context for an exploration of globalisation, considering positive and negative aspects. Inevitably this leads you to think about inequality. These are big ideas, and you will revisit these often through this unit. At the end of week 2, you will have access to the A1 eTest. However, do not click ‘begin’ until you have thoroughly studied materials from topics 1, 2 and 3. Remember to use the Practice eTest to prepare yourself for the A1 e-test. For now, focus on studying the topic of Economic Systems, note-taking while completing all tasks and activities, in preparation for this open-book test. If you haven't already done so, hop onto our Discussion Board and introduce yourself. Remember to ask questions about the unit content or assessments in the discussion board as well - your questions and my responses will also help other students. Hope to 'see' you in the collaborate session tomorrow (Tuesday) 4-5pm. Have a good week! Jacqui
