Content
Meaning of Social Studies:
Social Studies is a subject that helps us learn about how people live, work, and play together. It teaches us how to solve problems that people face every day, like how to share things with others, how to make decisions that are fair, and how to understand different people and places.
To Solve Man’s Problems:
When we say “to solve man’s problems,” we mean that Social Studies helps us figure out the best ways to make our lives better. For example, it can help us learn how to be good friends, how to work together with others, and how to make sure everyone is treated fairly.
