Modern Studies
Modern Studies- Studying the World and its Issues
We live in an ever changing world. A world that is far from perfect.
It has its troubles such as terrorism, poverty, greed, teenage crime, poor government, environmental disaster, conflict and.......Well the list goes on and on.
Aside from studying the problems and the possible solutions to these issues we look at the work of government both locally, nationally and around the world, especially the government of the United States. Here contemporary issues such as the War on Terror, the election of an ethnic minority President and the progress made by women in positions of power are looked at.
The work of international alliances such as the United Nations and NATO feature heavily as well using up to date textbooks and learning material to understand the complexity of the global environment.
It is of ever more importance in the modern world that we are able as citizens of a modern and thriving society to understand and make sense of the world around us and Modern Studies allows us to do just that.
