Greetings Parents and Students!

Welcome to my grade 12 social studies class! You will

find that the study of liberalism is both challenging and

enthralling as we collectively learn more

about the world and, as a result, our-

selves. In this class, we will discuss dif-

ferent political, jus-

tice and economic

systems from all

around the world and whether they’re

justified or not. Social studies is not a

class for the faint of heart, as it re-

quires heavy reading and studying. However, if you stick

with it and give it everything you have, I know you’ll

love this class. Brace yourself, because Social 30-1 is

going to be a ride unlike anything you’ve ever known!
