Students research and study what constitutes a society. Students explore the historical societies of Macedonia, Rome, England, Spain, France, and Mongolia. Through the study of earlier societies, students analyze the impacts of empire building, territorial expansion and colonialism on various Indigenous populations. In their research, students compare the factors that shape worldviews including time, place, culture, language, religion, gender identity, socio-economic situations and education, and how these factors are expressed in daily life.
