Descriptive Statement:
Because we live in an interdependent world, students
should be aware of the variety of approaches used by different
cultures to define and meet their basic needs. Students
should understand the impact of different cultures and
civilizations at specific times and over time, and be
aware of cultural similarities as well as differences.
As students become more aware of varying cultures, they
are more likely to understand themselves, the diversity
and cultural values of others, and people in their own
communities and in other parts of the world.

Descriptive Statement:
Economic systems develop as individuals and societies
employ resources to produce and distribute goods and services,
while government policies develop to aid, control, and
improve these activities. Whether economic decisions and
policies are personal, institutional, or governmental,
they are made in an interconnected context. Students should
have the knowledge and skills to understand the economic
forces which influence their lives, and to make decisions
which maximize their own economic well-being and that
of the larger society.
