Goal: Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills: Social studies, Grade 6

## 1. Culture · The student understands the relationship that exists between the arts and the societies in which they are produced

- [The world contains many cultures, traditions](https://ai.page/c/the-world-contains-many-cultures-traditions/index.md): Understand that the world contains many cultures, traditions, and belief systems, and that learning about others' perspectives enriches our own understanding — developing genuine curiosity about and respect for cultural diversity

## 2. Culture · The student understands relationships that exist among world cultures

- [Global Trade](https://ai.page/c/global-trade/index.md): Why countries trade with each other; imports and exports; how goods travel around the world; that different countries use different currencies

## 3. Citizenship · The student understands the relationship among individual rights, responsibilities, duties, and freedoms in societies with representative governments

- [Community Rights and Responsibilities](https://ai.page/c/community-rights-and-responsibilities/index.md): Understand their rights and responsibilities as a member of a community — that everyone has a right to be treated with respect and to feel safe, and that with rights come responsibilities to treat others the same way

## 4. Citizenship · The student understands that the nature of citizenship varies among societies

- [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

## 5. Economics · The student understands categories of economic activities and the data used to measure a society's economic level

- [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

## 6. Economics · The student understands the various ways in which people organize economic systems

- [Ethics in Business](https://ai.page/c/ethics-in-business/index.md): Being honest, being fair, treating workers well, not harming the environment; what makes a 'good' business; whether businesses should care about more than profit

## 7. Geography · The student understands the impact of interactions between people and the physical environment on the development and conditions of places and regions

- [Culture and Experience Shape Emotions](https://ai.page/c/culture-and-experience-shape-emotions/index.md): Understand that emotional responses are shaped by personal experiences, culture, and context — the same situation triggers different emotions in different people because of their backgrounds and past experiences
