LEVEL 1 SOCIAL SCIENCE – L1SOC 

Learning Area: Social Sciences

Qualification: NCEA Level 1

This course challenges you to critically examine how and why identities and cultures are multiple and dynamic, and how societies and individuals navigate the complexities of diversity and inclusion. You'll consider the values behind different perspectives, understanding the systems of social organisation—like political or cultural structures—that shape people's rights and responsibilities. We'll also reflect on how groups make ethical decisions to be more just and inclusive, while exploring different views on human rights and how they are valued and applied. This course is for anyone curious about people, societies, and the forces that shape our world.
