<p class="xxmsonormal" style="line-height:115%"><i><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">Is there such a thing as love at first sight? What about smartphone addiction? Does money buy happiness? Is it better to be introverted or extroverted?
Are millennials really all that different? Good science starts with good questions. This course attempts to address some of the most popular psychological questions by examining the evidence on how personal and social factors influence our thoughts, feelings,
and behaviours. Sessions will include a consideration of human development, personality, health beliefs and behaviour, and social relationships. There will also be an opportunity for students to select questions that interest them the most. Students will discover
that the answers are rarely simple and will leave with a more thoughtful approach to considering the psychological questions of the day.</span></i><i><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"> </span></i><i><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></i></p>

<p class="xxxmsonormal" style="line-height:115%"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">This course examines theories of art as they pertain to the visual and performative arts. We will discuss what philosophers have had to say about painting, plays,
as well as the performance arts. We will begin by reading some historical writings in the philosophy of art while also looking at more recent writings. The first question we ask and try to answer is: who decides what art is? Then we will explore the various
ways in which art can be classified, such as imitating nature, as expressing feelings or simply as assembling random objects to confront the viewer. Throughout the semester, we will take into account new art forms, such as musical improvisation, rap and modern
dance. In addition to the analysis of what constitutes art, we will also examine creativity and authorship. We tend to understand authorship as involving only one person. However, is that always the case? What about collective authorship and what about artistic
performances that involve group improvisation? To complement our readings, and to explore these questions more fully, we will watch videos that pertain to different types of artistic productions and we will visit a local art space.</span></i><i><o:p></o:p></i></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">This course is about the way morality is studied in psychology. Many moral concepts are drawn from philosophy, but are studied scientifically. We will discuss what it means to try to be a good
and moral person. Are we born good? What is the role of thinking and reasoning, and what about emotions and feelings? Does evolution work for or against us? How do people differ in the morality? Across ages? Across cultures?
