The aim of the course is (1) to introduce a system of knowledge about the global problems of our time and to contribute to a coherent, correct understanding of the planetary community of people and the unity of nature and society, (2) to contribute to the formation of "global thinking" as a counterbalance to narrowly understood group interests, (3) developing an interest in human issues of a general social nature, (4) enriching students with special and general habits and skills enabling them to independently acquire and evaluate information of a globalist (geo-globalist) nature, (5) contributing to an understanding of the specific manifestations of global problems in the major regions and countries of the contemporary world.
