A paradigm is a combination of concepts, values, assumptions, and practices that represent a way of understanding and relating to the world around us. This course will provide students the opportunity to examine and compare both traditional and alternative paradigms to inspect the correlation of human behaviour and the social environment. Students explore their understanding of the person in the environment to develop an increased awareness of multiculturalism and diversity. Through this examination, students become exposed to the complex aspects of individual, family, community and global relations.
