This course explores the nature and scope of worldview perspectives by means of an interdisciplinary study trip. Specifically, the course explores historical and contemporary sport and international issues such as elite training, sportsmanship, drugs and sport, coaching, etc. The course seeks to establish some of the historical, religious, philosophical, and art ties between the relative culture and sports and to relate these values and practices to our Western culture. By exposing students to theory and practical experience related to major global sporting events, the course attempts to assist students to understand the importance of thinking about an issue from an interdisciplinary viewpoint and integrating knowledge into a comprehensive world view.
