Social Studies Department Social Studies becomes more and more in- teresting each year. The American Studies and World Cultures courses are being updated continually to give the student an interesting and informative course, one which he will not only enjoy but also gain knowledge. The main motive of the World Cultures course is to sharpen the students awareness to the point of views that people of other cultures and lands hold. This is achieved not by dealing just with the particular culture itself, but by going into the things which make up the cul- ture such as religion, economics, etc. This can give the student a better understanding of not only the particular culture but of mankind it- self. This is one department where the context of the courses change through experiments to offer the students a more enjoyable experi- ence. Simulation games and group work have been found not only essential but very prac- tical in this particular department. Although history goes all the way back to the cave men when the first written records were found, the courses are far from being outdated and boring. By knowing of man's past history and your own heredity, it is not difficult to be able to constantly draw analo- gies with past and present history which we are living every day. lt's where its at.
