why are we vs why we are

Both "why are we" and "why we are" are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "Why are we" is used to ask a question about the reason for a specific action or situation involving a group of people. On the other hand, "why we are" is used in a declarative sentence to explain the reason for something. The word order changes the function of the phrase.
