Subject
Social Science
This learning resource aims to equip students with the ability to engage critically with current events through various social science perspectives. By focusing on three primary lenses—Psychology, Anthropology, and Sociology—students learn to ask insightful questions that delve into individual motives, cultural influences, and societal structures. The content includes explanations of each lens, thought-provoking case studies (like the Terry Fox Run), and practical tasks where students analyze news articles or events using these frameworks. The goal is to foster a deeper understanding of human behavior in the context of social dynamics and cultural context.
