Social Studies is very interesting. Sometimes historical events really got me engrossed. For example the Great Depression, I never knew the reason why the Great Depression was because of low agricultural / foodprices, low interest rates and stock market speculation. I never knew that. We learned not only about that particular topic, but also Civil War,The Russian Revolution, The 1st & 2nd Industrial Revolution, The Age of Steam and Iron, and alot of other topics that might fill  this whole page but I'm trying to keep this short and informable.
