Description: Is one culture's bully another culture's great leader? How culturally specific is bad behavior, and how do you learn what counts as bad behavior in a culture? How do people in different cultures respond to bad behavior? In this course, we are going to look at what makes someone toxic and how communities talk about and deal with toxic behavior. We will study how people make others' lives difficult in different cultures, and what kinds of conflict resolution is possible.
