Question: Why do we have to learn [the topic we are learning]?

Question: Why is [the topic] about [the culture we are studying]?

Answer:  In Social Studies, we study about other cultures to understand why they either did the things they did, or why they do the things they do. This information makes it easier for us to analyze what motivates people to think something, say something, or do something.
