Social Studies
The Social Studies Department is increasingly focusing on the need to prepare students to deal intelligently and humanely with the expanding complexities of modem society. Its aim is to utilize the tools of histoty, government, geography, sociology, economics, and anthropology to develop skills and concepts from which rational and meaningful decisions can be made in a world of changing social forces and conflicting ideologies.
The science teaching of past decades is most inappropriate for the world we live in today and will be even less suitable for the world of tomorrow.
We are undergoing a revolution in sciences. A close partnership has been developed between science and the economics, social, educational, and political issues of our time. Today there are few problems in any of these areas that can be discussed to their fullest meaning in the absence of a scientist.
Today all over the world and among all peoples there is an awareness that scientific literacy is essential to an understanding of the nature and events of contemporary civilization.
