In this course we will examine what economic theory says about human behavior and how that deviates for actual life experiences. Behavioral economics will then be intorduced as a way better understand how we think. This class will be interactive with both lecture type segments as well as scenario participation. Ex. "You have just won $30. Now choose between: (a) A 50% chance to gain $9 and 50% chance to lose $9. (b) No further gain or loss."

A fan of Jon Stewart? Ever wondered why he became so popular and the cause for so many spin off shows like his (The Colbert Report, Last Week Tonight, The Nightly, TDS with Trevor Noah, etc)? Is there a deeper underlining role that shows like his play in society? Want to find out what similar figures occupied such roles in the past? In this class we will cover political satire, its advantages and what this means for societies today and the way we handle difficult issues.
