Culture and civilization

What I expect for this class is getting a more detailed point of view about this subject main topics. I mean, during this course I would like to find out more about part of the process which entitles civilization such as: war, conquest, formation of nations, creation of identities, etc.

I would also like to learn and understand how to define better such a broad and subjective concept like that of culture is. I consider it is really interesting to expand our minds by studying in depth the history of culture and civilization in the important Anglo-Saxon areas of Europe and their surroundings, because this way I think we will not only become good teachers but good historians too.

I have always believed English speaking culture has been a so influential group world wide, that I think it is totally worthy to know its roots in a better way.
