Part of: [Mississippi: Social studies](https://ai.page/roadmap/ms-ss.md)

Goal: Mississippi academic standards: Social studies, High school

## 1. Sociology · Analyze the impact of social change on society.

- [Global Citizenship](https://ai.page/c/global-citizenship/index.md): Understand what it means to be a citizen in an interconnected world where decisions in one place affect people elsewhere; explore global issues (climate justice, forced migration, global health, poverty) through an empathy lens, distinguishing facts from value judgements; engage with the ethical tension between obligations to those close to us and obligations to distant strangers; introduce evidence-based giving and effective altruism as one framework for thinking about global responsibility; develop a personal, reasoned stance on global citizenship that acknowledges complexity

## 2. Sociology · Describe the roles by which individuals and groups establish and maintain a sense of identity.

- [Identity and Belonging in Adolescence](https://ai.page/c/identity-and-belonging-in-adolescence/index.md): Understand that adolescence involves active construction of identity, leading to emotional complexity around questions of 'who am I?'; explore the emotional dynamics of belonging to multiple groups simultaneously (family, peer group, cultural or religious identity); understand social comparison and its intensification through social media; recognise that identity is not fixed and that uncertainty about identity is normal, not a sign of failure; develop language for navigating emotions tied to group membership and personal values

## 3. Psychology II · Identify the conditions that lead to mental wellness, including a positive self-concept, healthy cognitive processes, and edifying interpersonal relationships.

- [Emotional Intelligence](https://ai.page/c/emotional-intelligence/index.md): Introduce Goleman's emotional intelligence model (self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, social skills); develop vocabulary for complex emotional states (ambivalence, ennui, schadenfreude, awe, nostalgia, cognitive dissonance); understand the evidence linking emotional intelligence to wellbeing, relationship quality, and long-term life outcomes; reflect on personal emotional growth over the secondary school years; explore the relationship between emotional literacy and mental health, and know when to seek professional support

## 4. Psychology II · Discuss the role of biological drives and motivations on human behavior and cognitive processes.

- [Habits and Motivation](https://ai.page/c/habits-and-motivation/index.md): Understand habit formation through the cue-routine-reward loop and how to design new habits intentionally; distinguish intrinsic motivation (doing something for its own value) from extrinsic motivation (rewards/punishments) and understand when each is more effective; understand procrastination as primarily an emotion regulation problem (avoiding discomfort) rather than a time management failure; apply self-determination theory (autonomy, competence, relatedness) to boost intrinsic motivation; design environments that reduce friction for desired behaviours

## 5. History of the Ancient Middle East · Contrast how geography, economics, and politics have influenced the development of the ancient Middle East.

- [Fall of Ancient Egyptian Civilisation](https://ai.page/c/fall-of-ancient-egyptian-civilisation/index.md): Trace the end of ancient Egyptian civilisation through its successive conquests — Assyrian, Persian, Macedonian (Alexander the Great), and finally Roman — and explain how each conqueror was simultaneously shaped by Egyptian culture; examine Cleopatra VII as the last pharaoh and as a multilingual political strategist; and consider what survives of ancient Egypt in modern culture, religion, and language
