Why citizenship education lies at the heart of social Studies

1 answer:

5 0

For decades, educators, policy makers, and average citizens have argued about the purpose and content of social studies. The appropriate "role" of academic disciplines such as history and geography within the social studies curriculum has been heatedly debated. But, for all the arguments, convention speeches, and journal articles, it seems clear that the term citizenship education lies at the heart of social studies. We teach history and geography and U.S. government and all the other courses; but our purpose is not to create historians or geographers. Instead, we are helping our students acquire the knowledge, skills, and, most importantly, the dispositions necessary for an informed and active citizenry.
Hope this helps

A will is not a legal document. a. True b. False

Kazeer [188]

The answer is true. It is a legal document which lays down what your wishes are after you die. It also tells others what you require from them and the conditions that go with it. There is the Testamentary Will where it is signed in front of witnesses. There is the Holographic will that has no witnesses. Then the oral will which is said verbally in front of others who are the witnesses and the living will which centers on medical requests.
