The Reasons Why We All Must Learn History and Social Studies Mr. Woodward Old Kentucky Home Middle School 8 th Grade US History

ˈ hist(ə)rē/ noun 1. the study of past events, particularly in human affairs. 2. the whole series of past events connected with someone or something.

The Reasons Why We All Must Learn History and Social Studies REASON ONE: To Help Us Develop Judgment in Worldly Affairs by Understanding the Past Behavior of People and Societies History must serve as our laboratory, and the past must serve as our most vital evidence in the quest to figure out why people behave the way they do in societal settings. If decision makers do not consult history, they make decisions without all of the facts.

The Reasons Why We All Must Learn History and Social Studies REASON TWO: To Help Us Understand Change and How the Community, Nation and World We Live in Came to Be Each person’s world view is shaped by individual experiences, as well as the experiences of the group to which he or she belongs. If we are ignorant of the contemporary and historical experiences of a variety of cultures, then we cannot hope to understand why people, communities or nations behave the way they do or make the decisions they make.

The Reasons Why We All Must Learn History and Social Studies REASON THREE: To Help Us Develop Essential Skills for Good Citizenship Citizens are not born capable of ruling. They must be educated to rule wisely and fairly. The cornerstone of democracy is the informed citizen.

The Reasons Why We All Must Learn History and Social Studies REASON FOUR: To Inspire Us History teaches us that a single individual with great convictions or a committed group can change the world. “It is from numberless acts of courage that human history is shaped. Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the life of others, or strikes out against injustice, he or she sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.” Robert F. Kennedy (adapted)

The Reasons Why We All Must Learn History and Social Studies REASON FIVE: To Help Us Develop Essential Thinking Skills Social Studies promotes: ▪ Reading at the evaluation, ▪ Synthesis, analysis and interpretation levels ▪ Critical thinking skills through writing ▪ Analytical thinking It is in social studies that students learn skills ranging from reading a map to making an argument. Students learn how to assess the validity of evidence, evaluate conflicting points of view and apply facts to making decisions. These are the skills of the real world!
