Prerequisites (description):	During the classes, we will reflect on whether we can understand what rebellion and revolution are? During the course the student will learn different concepts regarding the analysis of what phenomena related to rebellion, resistance and revolutions are. The aim of the course is to familiarize students with knowledge and analysis on specific examples of phenomena related to rebellion, what social significance they have, how they influence attitudes or human identity. An important element of the course will be the approximation of something that could be described as: "education". It is about the process of learning such perception and acting in a world that causes rebellion.
