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

Answer:

If at the time of withdrawal the interest paid was $11,000, the beneficiary would be required to pay income tax on the same amount of $11,000.

Explanation:

The Interest Settlement Option is usually for people who don't need much money or the remedies which the Insurance Cover provides.

Sometimes they defer payment of the proceeds and collect interest on the same whilst they decide on what do do with the money.

When a beneficiary collects this sort of interest it is usually taxable.

Cheers!
