I. SOCIAL SCIENCE
Social science is the branch of science devoted to
the study of societies and the relationships among
individuals within those societies.
The term was formerly used to refer to the field of
sociology, the original "science of society",
established in the 19th century.
In addition to sociology, it now encompasses a wide
array of academic disciplines, including
anthropology, archaeology, economics, human
geography, linguistics, management science, media
studies, musicology, political science, psychology,
I. SOCIAL SCIENCE
Sociology is the study of human social life.
Sociology is a branch of the social sciences that
uses systematic methods of empirical investigation
and critical analysis to develop and refine a body of
knowledge about human social structure.
The perspective of sociology involves seeing
through the outside appearances of people’s
actions and organizations (Berger, P. 1963). It is the
way of looking at the society and the social
behaviour—the subject matter of sociology. It goes
beyond 13 identifying patterns of social behaviour.
What is a social science
perspective?
The Social Science Perspective is viewing life through
the tinted spectacles of the speculations passed off as
“science” by bullying academics. In sad truth, they
cannot predict wars, social changes, elections, or
anything else. And certainly they are incapable of
creating or manipulating anything significant. They call
themselves “scientists” because they explain the world
in complex language and invented words that they
pretend to understand.
What is a social science
In reality, they have no science because science
perspective?
means to be able to predict without error and to
manipulate or create phenomena. A lens maker
can create a lens for a specific function because
he knows the materials, the math, and the laws
of optics. An astronomer can predict eclipses and
the path of planets. A chemist can synthesize
new chemicals, and predict reactions and the
energies involved. Always, without error. However
a social scientist can only generate large volumes
of garbled prose, too thick to be called a lie and
What is
Anthropology?
Anthropology is the study of what makes us
human. Anthropologists take a broad approach
in understanding different aspects of the
human experiences, which we 33 call holism.
They consider the past, through archaeology,
to see how human groups lived hundreds or
thousands of years ago and what was
important to them. They consider what makes
up our biological bodies and genetics as well
1. ANTHROPOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE -focuses
on the study of the full scope of human
diversity and the application of that knowledge
to help people of different backgrounds. These
are culture, cultural relativism, fieldwork,
human diversity, holism, bio-cultural focus.
2. SOCIOLOGICAL
PERSPECTIVE
Sociology studies social behavior at both micro
and macro levels. At the micro level, it focuses
on individual interactions in everyday settings
using approaches like social interactionism. At
the macro level, it examines large-scale
societal patterns, institutions, and social
problems. Sociologists use both qualitative
(e.g., participant observation) and quantitative
(e.g., surveys, statistics) methods to conduct
3. POLITICAL PERSPECTIVE
Politics, derived from the Greek "politika" meaning
"affairs of the cities," involves decision-making within
groups and power relations between individuals,
including resource and status distribution. Political
Science is the academic study of politics. The field
encourages broad, synthetic discussions within the
profession and between scholars and the public. It
aims to foster a public sphere for political science,
promoting important topics, ideas, and innovations,
and encouraging reflective dialogue among political
