Village idiot question. Obviously asked by someone who does not see the big picture and only their own little world.
The study of social activities enables one to know what is going on in the present, past and future of ones world. How does it benefit students. One, it makes you a little smarter....two, it gives you insight in today's, yesterday's and tomorrow's world so you know what direction to go in.
