What Is the Subject of Social Studies?
Social Studies is a subject that is broken into many subtopics including anthropology, culture, economics, geography, history, sociology, and political science. The overall goal of why we study this is to become good citizens, be proactive on a daily basis, and actively participate in a democratic society. As we consider ourselves a global community, Social Studies demonstrates how we are all interconnected. As we are able to communicate with cultures of all kinds, we need to be prepared to understand the differences and similarities between them. As the economy across the globe becomes more interconnected it is our responsibility to find positive ways to work together. This is a very language heavy subject in both spoken and written form. This all leads students to become better readers and writers. If we understand political systems, we can best learn how to serve the people of the community that we are serving. A unique aspect of Social Studies is that it examines change over time and specific eras.
