People, both collectively and individually, are the focus of the social sciences.  The dimensions of this focus are historical, political, geographic, economic, sociological, and psychological.  The social sciences may include the study of historical events, government functions, natural resources, business cycles, group behavior and individual personality to understand better the past, the present, and the possible future of human society.  An additional goal of the social studies is education for citizenship.  A democracy demands citizens who are knowledgeable concerning human affairs and who can apply this knowledge effectively in the critical task of self-government.
