Social Studies Maps, geography, government, presidents, international intrigue, election procedures, assassinations, wars and conflict are all indications of our diversity as a world community. The study of history helps us to situate the reasons for this diversity and examine paths toward unity and world peace. As we probe the diversity of various cultures and countries, we see how their roots have formed their national ideologies. As we observe and scrutinize the past, we change our perceptions of the present and construct new ideals for the future. At Andrean, we study the political, social and economic struc tures of our own and other world societies, noting carefully their differences and, in the process, we come to understand ourselves, our nation, and our world.
