General World Studies

General World Studies is a required course for graduation. This course surveys selected countries and cultures. Students will examine the history, geography, politics, economics, sociology, education, and arts of these countries/cultures in order to develop an understanding of our current global society and its interdependence. Although this course covers the same countries and cultures as the World Studies course, it places greater emphasis on the cultural elements of each country. Emphasis will be placed on writing skills and current events.
