Chapter 23 - Social Studies

Social Studies also have known as world history, is a field of historical study that emerged as a distinct academic field in the 1980s. It examines history from a global perspective. World history looks for common patterns that emerge across all cultures. Currently, right now in my American Studies 1 class, we are doing a five-seven page essay, which is going to be very fun(it's not). In the United States education system, social studies are the integrated study of multiple fields of social science and the humanities, including history, geography, and political science. Someone could have a major in some type of world history, researching and discovering new information for a twenty-page essay handed in for one day, but some people to research and discovering more things about the world and what is happening right now. Although some people may hate the course as history, history is the past, many people still reflect on the past, on what they have done, what did or shouldn't have done.
