This two‑part class examines how major global events influence everyday family life. Students will explore environmental changes, technological developments, economic shifts, and international issues through 25 carefully selected topics. Each session includes open discussion and Q&A, encouraging students to think critically, ask questions, and consider multiple viewpoints. All information is drawn from credible academic research, government data, and reputable organizations. The instructor will set aside personal bias, political preferences, psychological theories, and spiritual beliefs to ensure a fair, respectful, and balanced learning environment. This course is designed for mixed‑age homeschool groups, with explanations and activities appropriate for both younger and older learners.
Young people today encounter global events through news, social media, and conversations at home. These events can feel overwhelming or confusing without guidance. This lesson helps students understand why these issues matter and how they affect families, communities, and the world. By learning to identify reliable information, compare perspectives, and analyze real‑world trends, students build critical thinking skills that prepare them for responsible citizenship. The course also creates a safe space for students to ask questions, explore complex topics, and develop informed, thoughtful viewpoints.
