〈Integrated Social Studies〉 is composed of essential research topics for the new curriculum.
This book describes research topics in an interesting way, focusing on case studies, based on the limited scope of the curriculum.
This provides an overview of the issues and key points for student engagement and inquiry activities.
Additionally, the topic of each article is a list of questions for students to consider.
In the process of researching, exploring, and discussing those questions, I have organized them into things that can serve as important foundations for expanding one's thinking.

Each chapter is structured around the nine core concepts of “Integrated Society”: happiness, natural environment, living space, human rights, economy, justice, culture, globalization, and sustainable living. Each concept is divided into detailed topics and covered in a multi-layered manner.

Chapter 1 of Volume 1 examines a desirable perspective on social phenomena and how it is closely related to the goal of life, human happiness.

Chapter 2 provides an understanding of the natural environment as a fundamental condition for the formation of human life and culture, reflects on the causes of environmental problems, and examines efforts to resolve them.
Chapter 3 examines the process of change in living space and explores the changes in regional space resulting from industrialization, urbanization, and the development of transportation and communication.
Chapter 4 examines global human rights issues, including politics and political participation, based on the relationship between human rights issues and the Constitution.
Chapter 5 comprehensively examines the meaning and limitations of a market economy, the roles of households, businesses, and government, and illuminates desirable directions for individual life planning.
Chapter 6 of Volume 2 examines various aspects of justice, examining various perspectives on distributive justice, which is becoming increasingly important in modern society, and reflecting on the realization of justice through liberal and communitarian views of justice.
Chapter 7 examines the world's diverse cultures, examines the meaning and limitations of cultural relativism, and universal ethics, and reflects on life in our society, which is moving toward a multicultural society.
Chapter 8 examines the meaning of globalization, the problems of the globalization era, conflicts and cooperation in the international community, and reflects on the reality of our divided country and its status in the international community, seeking a path forward.

Chapter 9 examines the impact of population issues on society as a whole, the phenomena arising from resource imbalances, and our preparations for a sustainable future.

Teachers who wrote textbooks explained recent social phenomena using case studies to fit the new curriculum.
『Capture the Integrated Society 1,2』 was written by teachers who wrote the high school Integrated Social Studies textbook at Jihaksa, Bisang Education, etc.
The writing of the Integrated Social Studies textbook was a new undertaking that required numerous discussions between ethics, general social studies, and geography teachers. Therefore, it is said that there were many difficulties as different perspectives emerged in the process of understanding the different subjects.
However, on the other hand, it is said that he gained an experience in which his perspective was further broadened through understanding other subjects.

The authors focused their efforts and skills gained from two years of textbook writing on writing this book.
So, I was able to select the core concepts and topics required in the curriculum and clearly explain them using examples of recent social phenomena.
Of course, the process of writing this book involved numerous meetings and discussions before we could arrive at the final result.
The newly launched "Integrated Society" in 2018 is expected to experience various transitional phenomena in the learning and evaluation processes as it is in its early stages of implementation.
In the process, 『Capture an Integrated Society 1,2』 will be able to help teachers and students learn in a balanced manner.
