1. Social Studies is the study about our past, the economic conditions of our country, the political
system that we our bound to and the surroundings that we live in.

Social studies are also important for basic values, such as justice and equality. It is study of our life
or our past. That we can discover any things from the past. And those of our mistakes and the
lesson from the mistake that we can use to change it to the future.

2. People often say ‘history repeats itself’ but if we learn history and study success and failures of
the past we may ideally be able to learn from our mistakes and avoid repeating them in the future.

If we use to correct the mistakes from the past it will not repeated. And because of that mistakes we
learned the lesson that’s why we can use it also to change the society or ourselves. Some of us
adapted or accepted the mistakes from the past so that it repeats itself. But it change if we learned
and if we not repeated. We should be able to look back our origin. And because of our past there are
mistakes that we can use and we may able to correct it in the present and avoid to repeating it to
the future. We should hold back the mistakes from our past, so it will not repeated.

3. In a world were politics is riddled with corruption and where democracy is a lie. We learn politics
to understand the system of the world around us, to be able to make informed choices, to know the
role we play in the system and to gain a rich understanding of how the world works and why it
works that way.

If all of us doesn’t have a unity, our society cannot improve. Because of that democracy is a lie. Some
people believe especially of those Politics promise on their campaign to make sure that they will win. And when they win
some politics use us to cover their corrupt from the People's Money. That’s why we need to have a unity,
interrelation to each other or we must help each other to change it.

4. In a world of income inequality and limited resources. We learn economics as it is concerned with
helping individuals and the society and to decide on the proper allocation of our limited resources.

Economics helps the society or individuals for our resources especially the Big or Popular Companies that the society
have and companies for the employees. Just like the income of some job here, we still chose to work in other country
because we the people know that or believe that it has a big income that we need for our interest and our daily lives,
because of that inequality income.

5. We learn geography to learn and understand the principles and phenomenon the effect our
everyday life. To learn about different cultures and traditions and to gain a better understanding of
our society. And thus learning social studies makes a students an asset for his country and helps
him in serving the society better .

We students study Geography to know about the Earth's Landscapes, Evolution of a human and places. And it seek us to
understand where things are found, why they are there, how they develop and also the changes. We study cultures amd
traditions to know about how we should still remain. That we can use to have a better society and to have a better
future.
