Social Studies is a humanistic medium which records the strivings, failures and accomplishments of peoples, cultures, and nations. It focuses on the historic, technological, and societal events that have shaped the past and the present by: - viewing the sweep of historical trends
- realizing how the events of past and contemporary societies accept our present
- broadening our understanding of our own society by comparison and contrast with others, both historically and culturally
- studying human nature as it is reflected in the ambitions, aspirations, triumphs, and setbacks that all people have experienced through time
