Social Studies
The changing of peoples, places, technologies and environment are all looked at when exploring social studies. To foster critical thinking ask who wrote history and for what purpose as well as introduce multiple perspectives on various sides of issues as neutrally as possible. As Winston Churchill once said “History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it.”
Be the change you wish to see in the world-

I have visited sweatshops, factories, and crowded slums. If I could not see it, I could smell it. The foundation of society is laid upon a basis of . . . individualism, conquest and exploitation . . . A social order such as this, built upon such wrong and basic principles, is bound to retard the development of all. The output of a cotton mill or a coal mine is considered of greater importance than the production of healthy, happy-hearted and free human beings. We, the people, are not free. Our democracy is but a name. Helen Keller
