Overview About “Culture and Values: A Survey of the Western Humanities 8th Edition”
Culture and Values is a highly respected introduction to literature. That enables students to think critically about contemporary society through an analysis of art, music, and literature from diverse cultures. It helps them understand what they can learn from people who have different values. This book explores the ways in which a multicultural perspective can enrich their own experience as individuals living in society. This book lays a foundation for a deeper inquiry into any number of issues relevant to today’s students–from race relations to gender politics to environmental ethics; it demonstrates how art helps us understand ourselves better; it shows how intelligent citizens should approach differences in culture. The Eighth Edition adds three new essays, introduces new boxed sections on key topics throughout each chapter, features reworked readings. That encourages discussion rather than simply presenting information to be memorized.
Reviews About “Culture and Values: A Survey of the Western Humanities 8th Edition”
At 416 pages, Culture and Values: A Survey of the Humanities is a long but rewarding read. This trade book offers a fair combination between academic theory and practical application. Drawing on popular culture examples to illustrate key themes in each chapter. While still maintaining rigor. When it comes to citations and secondary sources. And although some readers will likely challenge some assumptions inherent in conventional research today. It’s hard to deny that such challenges are useful in keeping important conversations alive. Ultimately, readers can make up their own minds about what culture means for them. This really comes down to reading more broadly for yourself rather than taking Cunningham’s word for it or nothing at all.
