    The Importance of Social Studies as a Subject Course

    by Hershey Marie H. Abarri


    (An essay about the importance of Social Studies as a subject course and the reasons behind its
    significance.)

    Social studies refers to a field of study which is concerned with man and his

    interaction with his social and physical environment; deals with human relationships; and

    its central function is identical to the central purpose of education which is the

    development of democratic citizenship. (Michaelis, 1956; and Paleeri, 2019) The

    definition itself has provided the significance of studying social studies. In a simple

    sense, it provides learners a broad knowledge on how to deal with the society in terms of

    interacting with people and environment. It hones minds and souls to produce rational

    citizens who are capable of making informed and reasoned decisions for the public good.

    This field of study enhances one’s mind to participate in the community and show moral

    and civic virtues. These virtues sharpened the minds of young people to be responsible

    citizens of their country and provide quality service to their fellowmen.

    Social studies as a subject course has provide young people an opportunity to dig

    the past and have deeper understanding of their origin through studying history,

    anthropology, geography, psychology, economics, archaeology, political science, law,

    religion and sociology. These disciplines have provide learners a deep understanding

    about culture, politics, language, and evolution. Upon learning these disciplines, they can

    be able to identify the reason why such traditions are practice and the way a country

    should be governed. It enhances the critical thinking skills of young people thus resulting
    to them addressing societal and global concerns using the means of literature and

    technology which could be use by the leaders to reflect about their actions and decisions

    to be made. The sole purpose of having social studies as a subject course is to help

    produce competent and responsible citizens who are capable of leading their country in

    times of economic, social and global crisis through making rational decisions. And to

    produce good citizens who leads the nation to be “a culturally diverse, democratic society

    in an interdependent world”.
