This area of the humanities, social studies, is broadly studied at Warren. The extensive hst of classes offered are world geography, eco- nomics, U.S. history, American govern- ment, sociology, family living, psychology, in- ternational relations, and cadet teaching. Each of these courses are entrenched in the study of people, their actions and reactions. Specifically, those classes dealing with politi- cal and historical conditions are world history, U.S. history, American government, and in- ternational relations. The courses U.S. history and American government are requirements at Warren to guarantee that each student has a basic knowledge in social studies. Primarily, U.S. history establishes the founding of our democratic form of government and capitalistic economy. The second requirement, American government, then goes on to elaborate on the workings of this governmental system and how the public participates. World history and world government are broad areas of study which extend to students the scope of peoples, histories, and cultures. Another course of elab- oration, international relations, involves an ex- tensive study and analyzation of current affairs throughout the world.
