Philosophy, Politics & Economics 12 (PPE 12)

This course fulfills the senior Social Studies graduation requirement.

The world is changing faster than our best minds can predict. With new technologies, increased global problems, and the interconnectedness of our society, the impact of one action can affect us all. How can we make important policy decisions when we don’t even know what will happen down the line? Can our global economy adapt to the changing market conditions? How many precautions should we take? What is reasonable?  

Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) is a seminar-style class that will challenge students to think critically when looking at challenging problems without clear answers. This course will use philosophical thought as a foundational base, to discuss and debate some of the most pressing challenges in our world today.
