Abstract

The last unit concluded by noting that the 1990s saw an increase in “culture wars” and a polarization of our politics. In many ways this trend has continued into the twenty-srst century. Our goal is to understand how and why that occurred and when and why we see breaks with the past. The readings in this unit are aimed at highlighting some of the major events and ideas that have shaped the modern century.
