MLO 3: LITERARY AND CULTURAL KNOWLEDGE
MLO 3: LITERARY AND CULTURAL KNOWLEDGE
The student develops a reasonable understanding of the ways of thinking (ideas, beliefs, attitudes, values, philosophies), the behavioral practices (patterns of social interactions) and the cultural products – both tangible and intangible (for example, art, history, literature, music) — of Hispanic cultures.
There are two pathways by which this outcome can be fulfilled:
The student completes between two and six courses (depending on his or her choice of emphasis, as either in language and linguistics knowledge or literary and cultural knowledge) in Hispanic literature, culture or society. General areas to choose from are: literature, the social sciences (anthropology, geography, history, political systems), art history, music history, religion or other nonSpanish courses specific to Hispanic culture or society.
With prior approval and guidance from WLC faculty, the student may opt for a more individual
pathway. He or she may choose to independently study, research and analyze four of the following areas as they are reflected in the civilization or national culture of the language chosen to study: architecture, dance, dress, fiction, healing processes, high art, issues of gender and racial equity, music, national history, poetry, political systems, popular art, religious beliefs, theatre.
To fulfill this requirement I took the courses SPAN 301S and SPAN 304. I believe these two courses really had a huge impact on my career. The reason I say this is because we talked about religion, language, cultures, art and the traditions that build up a community, With all these lessons we really had to think in the community we live in and how we can have a positive impact and improve the life style of the community. These thought me that it is not just about an individual and that we should always try to impact in a positive way our community. We had the privilege of learning the history of other countries thanks to or ligature assignment we had to do throughout the semester. For example: Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, and basically all America and a few part of Europe. These were the focus because its were our history has been evolved from. Overall, this courses help me build me to be more considerate with how we live and the life we choose to build.
These are some classes I took that are part of this MLO:
SPAN 301S: Service Learning in the Chicano/Latino Community
SPAN 304: Introduction to Hispanic Literature;
