This area of study examines changes in social structures, cultural patterns and human values through history. It aims at raising students' awareness of social, economic, political and gendered dimensions of human life as it evolves over time. Students will be introduced to learning contexts which help them to perceive patterns of similarities, differences, continuity and change, in the present and the past.
Through rational and critical study of events and structures, students will learn to appreciate and understand human actions within their contexts, and develop a sense of relativism about controversial issues in societies of different historical periods.
