Steyer's "My, How Things Change!" program introduces students to world changes and helps them understand the effects such changes have on the world in which they live. Studying, discussing, and debating events such as the Industrial Revolution, wars, inventions and discoveries, and social conditions around the world, students compare and contrast those events with events happening in their own communities. Through the program, students recognize positive contributions throughout history, better understand the importance of human rights and economics in a free society, and discover the relationship between scientific advancement and an improved society.
