Inuuqatigiingniq-+Social+Interaction

==** Inuuqatigiingniq- //Social Interaction// ** == This broad heading includes, among many areas of study, those involving governance, laws, leadership and demographics. It replaces // Power and Authority // because these terms seem to reflect a sense that people need to be controlled and in Inuit way, cooperation was perhaps the assumed norm.

From the WNCP framework:

**//Students will explore the processes and structures of power and authority, and their implications for individuals, relationships, communities, and nations.//**

Power and authority affect individuals, relationships, communities, and nations. As students explore the concepts of power and authority, they will examine the distribution, exercise, and implications of power and authority in formal and informal settings. They will critically consider diverse forms of decision-making, leadership, and governance, and will inquire into issues of fairness and equity. This exploration will help students develop a sense of personal efficacy as active and responsible citizens. Learning outcomes will include concepts such as political structures and decision-making processes, government, justice, rules, laws, and conflict.
