Government and Civics
The study of government and civics equips students to understand the nature of government and the unique characteristics of representative democracy in the United
States, including its fundamental principles, structure and the role of citizens. Understanding the historical development of structures of power, authority and governance and
their evolving functions in contemporary U.S. society and other parts of the world is essential for developing civic competence. An understanding of civic ideals and practices
of citizenship is critical to full participation in society and is a central purpose of the social studies.

Cultures & Societies
Culture is the way of life shared by a group of people, including their ideas and traditions. Cultures reflect the values and beliefs of groups in different ways (e.g., art, music,
literature, religion); however, there are universals (e.g., food, clothing, shelter, communication) connecting all cultures. Culture influences viewpoints, rules and institutions in
a global society. Students should understand that people form cultural groups throughout the United States and the World, and that issues and challenges unite and divide
them.

Geography includes the study of the five fundamental themes of location, place, regions, movement and human/environmental interaction. Students need geographic
knowledge to analyze issues and problems to better understand how humans have interacted with their environment over time, how geography has impacted settlement and

Historical Perspective
History is an account of events, people, ideas and their interaction over time that can be interpreted through multiple perspectives. In order for students to understand the
present and plan for the future, they must understand the past. Studying history engages students in the lives, aspirations, struggles, accomplishments and failures of real
people. Students need to think in an historical context in order to understand significant ideas, beliefs, themes, patterns and events, and how individuals and societies have
changed over time in Kentucky, the United States and the World.
