Have you forgotten my question Mr Milletick7 asks Ann Marie Parent in Economics Social Studies broaden our background Current events at home and abroad as well as the past history and development of a ntion give us a better understanding of the world we live in. In United States History we learn about our own land, while in World History we become interested in the ais- toms, development, and people of neighbor countries near and far. Our energetic, earnest teachers work to promote good citizenship and a deeper understanding of different peoples. Which student can ever forget the struggle to recall the dates and battles so significant in the history of the world? And which student can forget how his Economics course made him a wealthy man through the stock exchange? Because of these courses we now easily realize the ever important work of the social sciences.
