Program Overview
There are two sections in Social 23.
In Topic A, students examine three historical themes in European society: the shift from local to a more national outlook, the shift from a rural/agrarian way of life to an urban/industrial way of life, and the shift from a hierarchical society to a more egalitarian society.
In Topic B, students examine how global imbalance, environmental factors, and differing perspectives influence the quality of life in an interdependent global community. The object of this study is for students to recognize the diversity and interrelatedness of the world to participate more effectively as responsible world citizens.
