Social Studies is an area that encompasses an important collection of ideas used to

examine humans, as well as their civilizations and cultural traits. The study of economics,
sociology, history, and government come together to make social studies an exploration
of human roles within society. What do you think is the most important aspect of social
studies that is used to define humans and their societies? Are there any subject areas
that should be included in social studies that are currently ignored?

Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

I think that the most important aspect of social studies is the study of sociology. Understanding different groups of people, their origins and how they live today. What languages do they speak and why? What religion do they practice and why? Why is their population as big or as small as it is? It's all linked back to the basic sociology.

I think a lot of the time, we actually neglect the importance of the environment in social studies. Sometimes we think that since humans don't control the environment, we shouldn't include it in evaluating our studies, but the environment shapes us. Food availability can affect the demographics of a population. Different landmarks such as mountain ranges and rivers determine our settlement patterns. The environment shapes who we are, and for the most part we ignore that fact
