Mind you, this is only my opinion!
What do you think is the most important aspect of social studies that is used to define humans and their societies?
I think that the most important aspect of social study is the study of dynamics of human interaction; especially on a bigger scale, such as dynamics of groups and intergroup conflicts.
Are there any subject areas that should be included in social studies that are currently ignored?
- I think that social studies ignore human biology. For example, our hormonal changes change greatly how we behave! take PMS for example, or depression from hormonal pills...
