Global Ethics

Course Description:

Recent economic and technological developments have given rise to the world’s first global civilization, with problems or challenges that are truly global in scope, such as climate change, global pandemics, artificial intelligence, genetic engineering, global poverty, overpopulation, air and water pollution, species extinction, resource depletion, global migration, and international terrorism. It is often thought that the solutions to these problems must come from government policies, international treaties, and/or corporate initiatives. However, what is overlooked from this perspective are the ways in which individuals, especially citizens of affluent countries, are implicated in these problems. And yet it is becoming increasingly clear that the lifestyle choices and patterns of consumption of citizens in affluent countries are at the root of many of the global challenges of the 21st century. These connections give rise to a host of interesting and important ethical questions. For instance, if we could reduce the likelihood of catastrophic climate change by making simple changes to what we eat, should we do it? And if we could help to solve the problems of global poverty and famine as well as resource depletion in part by reducing the amount we as individuals spend on unnecessary luxury goods, should we do it? More generally, what sort of lives should we live in the 21st century as environmental destruction and technological developments threaten the existence of the human species, as well as most other animal species. If human civilization is headed toward irreversible collapse, as some writers believe, does it matter how we as individuals choose to live our lives? These are some of the questions examined in Global Ethics. The course provides an introduction to ethical thinking and ethical theory, an overview of several ethical issues as well as some of the main challenges facing humanity in the 21st century, an understanding of how we as individuals are implicated in these problems, and a theoretical perspective from which to answer questions concerning how we should respond to them. The course consists of lectures and group discussions on a wide range of issues related to the fundamental ethical question of how we as individuals should live our lives in the 21st century.

Derivative Securities

Course Description:

This course deals with derivative securities. Futures and options are two typical derivative products. The trading volume of derivatives has surpassed that of their underlying securities such as stocks and bonds by two or three times magnitude. Since the primary usage of derivative securities is risk-shifting (i.e. hedging), a hedging mechanism is dealt through intuitive explanations and numerical examples. As a central issue of hedging, this course also explores how futures and options are priced through an arbitrage argument. Even though a high level mathematical ability is required for this course, diagrams and verbal explanations will be used as main tools for instruction, so that the contents are delivered in a comprehensible way, so extensive and complex use of mathematics will be avoided in this class.

Reading British and American Literature

Course Description:

The basic idea in Romanticism is that reason cannot explain everything. In reaction to the cult of rationality that was the Enlightenment, the Romantics searched for deeper, often subconscious appeals. They saw a shift from faith in reason to faith in the senses, feelings, and imagination; a shift from an interest in urban society to an interest in the rural and natural; a shift from public, impersonal poetry to subjective poetry; and from concern with the scientific and mundane to interest in the mysterious and infinite. With these characteristics of Romanticism in mind, this course will focus on major Romantics: William Wordsworth, S. T. Coleridge, P. B. Shelley, John Keats, Mary Shelley, the Brontes and so on: it will show how mainly they cared about the individual, intuition, and imagination in their works.

American Drama

Course Description:

An introductory course of modern American drama, this class surveys major dramatists of Twentieth century America. This semester, we will be focusing on the dramatic interplay of deception, self-deception, and belief, as well as the perennial problem of the relation between the individual and society and home and the family as the problematic site of American utopia/dystopia. Readings will feature the conflict of veracity and mendacity at the level of relationships (professional, familial, and romantic) as well as the level of relations (social, cultural, and political). They will also show how questions about truth-telling underlie modern American drama itself, as provocations to a never-to-be-finished conversation about "realism," "naturalism," and "theatricality," In the end, we will be asking ourselves whether tragedy is still a viable dramatic form for our times. Major themes to be dealt with include the myth and truth of the American Dream, the idea of business as a way of life and an ethical code, family as the site of failed love, and self-fashioning as survival. In the course of the semester, we will focus particularly on four plays: Eugene O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey Into Night, Tennessee Williams’s The Glass Menagerie, Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman, and Edward Albee’s The Goat. In addition to usual textual analyses of these texts, we will practice play-reading and acting in selected scenes of each play.

This course provides an introduction to the fundamental principles of economics. The first half of the course deals with microeconomic issues, including the behavior of individual households and firms, their interactions in markets (supply and demand), determinants of consumption and production, and roles of government in the market and for the society. The second half is devoted to macroeconomics and starts with the national income accounting as a way of measuring the standard of living. Then it moves on to the “long-run” hike and the short-run stability of the standard. Key specific issues are economic growth, unemployment, money and banking, inflation, balance of payments, and monetary and fiscal policies.

Creative and Critical Thinking

Course Description:

Creative thinking refers to the cognitive processes through which we generate new ideas, interesting hypotheses, novel solutions to problems, or better approaches to life. Critical thinking refers to the analytical skills that we use to evaluate those ideas, hypotheses, solutions, and approaches. To a very large extent, one’s success in life depends on one’s ability to think creatively and critically. Nevertheless, most people spend little or no time thinking about or trying to improve these skills on which their future success largely depends. This course seeks to address that problem by helping students to recognize flaws in their thinking, understand the skills associated with creative and critical thinking, and strengthen those skills through practical exercises.

Food Studies

The Language of Global Cuisine

Course Description:

As Korea becomes more affluent, the number of Koreans who travel abroad increases. As such, many Hanyang students travel overseas for pleasure as well as for academic study. When staying in a foreign country, the most basic linguistic necessity is to communicate to order food in restaurants or purchase grocery in stores. Moreover, when students graduate and work in business sectors associating with foreign business partners, cuisine becomes a big part of the business success. As a result, learning the language of food through global cuisine can better equip students in their experiences abroad as well as help them manage international business more successfully. In addition, students can explore social issues related to fast food franchise restaurants as well as food advertisements to understand cultural and social transformation. Lastly, Korea was one of the recipients of food donations after the Korean war, but currently Korea has become one of the philanthropic countries that donate a lot of money to the Global Agriculture and Food Security (GASFP) program that helps third world countries. Understanding the food shortage in the world as well as the food abundance in Korea, and how Korea contributes to global food security can help students understand the importance of helping hands. The course intends to help students learn the language of various cuisines around the world and the importance of the value of food through lecture and by reading various articles. While studying a variety of dishes, their ingredients and preparation techniques, focus will be given to semantics of food vocabulary related to various types of food and different ways to cook such as grilling versus barbecuing, different ways to order dishes properly, and regional idioms and expressions derived from food: as cool as cucumber, cream of the crop, two peas in a pod, happy as clam, a peach, or a piece of the pie. Also, students will learn the regional and religious background of certain types of food to better understand various ethnic groups and language. Moreover, the class will examine geographical factors that influenced the production of indigenous food. To study social issues, aside from lecture, there will be articles and video clips followed by discussion.
