Since the beginning of recorded history, politics has been a struggle between two opposing forces: elite and popular power. While elite history is recorded in the actions of kings and the growth of empires, the politics of the lower classes is expressed in an era's popular culture. Examine grassroots movements and their efforts to subvert political regimes throughout history. Analyze Greek tragedy, Shakespeare's Elizabethan propaganda, Whitman's Democratic Romanticism, Beat poetry, 1960s protest music, and the current blogosphere in conversation with political theorists such as Plato, Rousseau, Emerson, Marx, and Harvey.

Violence and fear have always been instruments of politics. Rulers and rebels alike have resorted to force (or the threat of it) to try to advance their ends. Since the late 18th century, revolutionaries have self-consciously turned to violence and fear as instruments-not just for advancing their own factions, but for refashioning the political system itself. Explore the historical development of modern revolutionaries and terrorist groups ranging from Jean-Jacques Rousseau to Josef Stalin to Al Qaeda to modern day pirates off the coast of Somalia. Analyze the ways in which society attempts to address such violence. Offered: Grades 8-10, Duke University East Campus (Term 1)

What does it mean to be guilty of a crime? What makes an act a crime in the first place? It depends on whom, when, and where you ask! Before they even built their first cities, humans were deciding the guilt and innocence of others as a way of bringing order to their societies. Trace the existence of right and wrong in legal systems across human history, examine the cultural differences behind opposing concepts of guilt and innocence, and explore the societies that constructed these systems. Through debates, texts, simulations, research, and mock trials, explore both historical and current legal practices as part of the ever-evolving quest for the unattainable perfect system.

Dr. Eugene Spafford, Professor of Computer Science at Purdue University, once famously said, "The only truly secure system is one that is powered off, cast in a block of concrete and sealed in a lead-lined room with armed guards-and even then I have my doubts."
