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

Goal: Ohio academic standards: Social studies, Grade 7

## 1. Economics

- [How the Economy Works](https://ai.page/c/how-the-economy-works/index.md): What an economy is; producers and consumers; supply and demand; why prices change; the basics of how markets work

## 2. Government

- [Greek and Roman Legacy Today](https://ai.page/c/greek-and-roman-legacy-today/index.md): Evaluate the lasting contributions of Greek and Roman civilisations to modern life — democracy, law, language (Latin roots), architecture (columns, arches, domes), sport (Olympics), philosophy, literature, and theatre — and understand that Greek ideas reached us through Rome, and then through later European civilisations, in a chain of cultural transmission
- [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

## 3. History

- [Medieval Worlds Beyond Europe](https://ai.page/c/medieval-worlds-beyond-europe/index.md): The medieval world beyond Europe: the Islamic Golden Age (maths, medicine, architecture), the Mali Empire and Mansa Musa, Song Dynasty China; how the medieval world was connected through trade routes like the Silk Road

## 4. Economic Decision-Making and Skills

- [Risk, Uncertainty, and Cognitive Bias](https://ai.page/c/risk-uncertainty-and-cognitive-bias/index.md): Distinguish between risk (decisions with known probabilities) and uncertainty (decisions with unknown outcomes); identify cognitive biases that distort risk assessment: availability heuristic (judging likelihood by how easily examples come to mind), present bias (overvaluing the immediate over the future), optimism bias (underestimating personal risk), and groupthink; understand why adolescent brains are biologically calibrated toward higher risk tolerance; apply a structured decision-making framework to real choices; understand the role of personal values in decisions where facts alone cannot determine the answer

## 5. Roles and Systems of Government

- [Roman Republic and Empire](https://ai.page/c/roman-republic-and-empire/index.md): Explain how Rome was first governed as a republic — with elected consuls, a powerful Senate, and a distinction between patricians and plebeians — before becoming an empire ruled by emperors like Augustus (who brought peace, the Pax Romana) and Nero, and compare republican government with Athenian direct democracy
