Social Problems
Grades: 9, 10, 11, 12
Couse description
Societies, governments, and individuals have a very complex relationship with each other, often with no shortage of problems. In Social Problems, students examine timely social issues affecting individuals and societies around the globe and explore what Christians can do about them in light of Scripture. Focusing on one area of concern at a time (e.g., poverty, health care, the environmental crisis), students discover not only how these social problems affect them personally and the world around them but how they can make a local and global difference for the kingdom of God. Biblical teaching is integrated to encourage students to think of and treat these issues from the perspective of a distinctly Christian worldview.
