1. The individual can add ideas, theories, and thoughts to the world. What
other purpose does the individual have?
2. Families stick together
or break apart for many reasons. What reasons do families have for staying together/breaking apart? E.G.->Economic
 3. Inhabiting houses and buildings force people to interact with others
outside of their family. How does this interaction affect the individual?
4. Blocks
& neighborhoods are typically made up of people in similar economic situations. Does this unify people?
Is this good for social mobility?
 5. Furthermore, towns & villages also affect the individual's family.
How is that statement true?
 6. How is the individual affected by the laws made by states & provinces?
7. Countries have different cultures and customs depending on where you may
visit or live. The United States is extremely diverse. Does the U.S. offer an opportunity to everyone or do you
feel America does not give its citizens a fair chance in life?

in everyone's life?

 ___________________________________________________________________
We start
studying the world (what we can and can not see) by specializing in specific areas of study. We use all of our senses
to learn.
Why do we need answers?
What makes us want to
keep learning?
What are some specialty areas that we use to help
us learn about ourselves and the world?
astronomy-we study
the physical world
astrology-we base our ideas around belief
philosophy-we think about
the world in many ways in search of wisdom; philosophy encompasses the study of everything (literally) and much of what is
studied can not be seen (non-empirical)
*People study the purpose of their lives and create their own answers.
psychology-humans help humans (includes economic factors)
sociology-we observe human groups
to understand human behavior
anthropology-we study the past based on evidence
psychiatry-we
help people by using science and medicine
*Every area of learning can be broken down into a specialized area.
E.G.-> Science breaks down into biology, physics, earth science, etc.
***We need to understand the world
by knowing our surroundings first. From studying the theory of Pangaea to being able to locate the 7 continents on a
map, we learn direction and we continue on our plan to understand ourselves better.
