In my opinion, HSIE is a subject area for which there can be great social impacts on students. As I mentioned earlier one aim of the faculty is to create a sense of empathy, understanding and acceptance of others in the students. In our lessons, students would learn about a different country, Egypt, in a different time, and learn to recognise some of its important landmarks. Some lessons are devoted to Ancient Egyptian religion, beliefs and rituals. Whether you believe in Anubis, God, Allah, any other god or no god, it is an important life lesson to accept that different people believe in different things, including different religions.
We made a video about archaeology and the importance of historical inquiry. It is important for students, particularly students of history, to learn the value of asking questions about the past, looking into the past and making discoveries. In short, I refer to the old saying "He who knows nothing about the past is doomed repeat history's mistakes".
