Humanities - The Twentieth Century - Investigation 1 - Introduction

Welcome to HUMANITIES

Over the time you study this subject you will investigate many related themes about the World and our place in the World. The Humanities take as their subject matter human behaviour. They provide unique ways to understand how and why groups of people have settled where they have, organised their societies, developed means of generating and distributing wealth and developed codes, laws and belief systems. I hope you enjoy this class. The following Domains will be used when assessing specific standards – History and Thinking Processes.
