OBJETIVOS GENERALES

Segundo
knowledge of the functioning of the natural system which makes life possible on Earth
an understanding of how local environments contribute to the global environment
a sensitivity to, and a sense of responsibility and concern for the welfare of the environment
and all other life forms which share this planet
enable the student to collect and describe data used in studies of society
promote the appreciation of the way in which learning is relevant both to the culture in
which the
student lives, and the culture of other societies
develop an understanding of the interrelationships between people, places, spaces and the
environment

Tercero
an appreciation of the diverse influences of human activity on the natural system
an awareness of the need for management and human responsibility to keep the system in a
healthy condition if life as we know it is to continue
develop in the student the capacity to identify, to analyse critically and to evaluate theories,
concepts
and arguments about the nature and activities of the individual and society
enable the student to collect, describe and analyse data used in studies of society
develop an awareness in the student that human attitudes and beliefs are widely diverse
and that the
study of society requires an appreciation of such diversity
develop a concern for human welfare and the quality of the environment, and an
understanding of
the need for planning and sustainable management

Cuarto
an understanding that humankind is part of this system and depends on it
an understanding of sustainable development and management to meet the needs of the
present, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs
a sound basis for further study, personal development and participation in local and global
environmental concerns.
encourage the systematic and critical study of: human experience and behaviour; physical,
economic
and social environments; and the history and development of social and cultural institutions
enable the student to collect, describe and analyse data used in studies of society, to test
hypotheses, and to interpret complex data and source material
enable the student to recognize that the content and methodologies of the subject are
contestable and that their study requires the toleration of uncertainty.
appreciate the relevance of geography in analysing contemporary issues and challenges,
and develop a global perspective of diversity and change.
