9. INTRODUCING THE DISCIPLINES WITHIN THE SOCIAL SCIENCES Social science tells us how society works.

10. It provides a deeper understanding about the world beyond our immediate experience.

11. It tells us that everything is interconnected, that the labor of yesterday can be the fruits of today and that the actions of today will have an impact in the future of humanity.

12. Etymologies of Social Science Disciplines and Definitions

13. what is science? the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation, experimentation , and the testing of theories against the evidence obtained.

14. what is social sciences? The scientific study of human society and social relationships

15. Social sciences consist of a variety of disciplines, subject areas, and methods, and there is no reason to expect that these disciplines will eventually add up to a single unified theory of society.

16. NINE SOCIAL SCIENCE DISCIPLINES ANTHROPOLOGY DEMOGRAPHY ECONOMICS GEOGRAPHY HISTORY LINGUISTICS POLITICAL SCIENCE PSYCHOLOGY SOCIOLOGY

17. Social Science Disciplines Etymologies Definitions Anthropology “ anthopos ” (human), “logos” (study of) Scientific study of man or human being and their societies in the past and present Demography “demos” (people), “ graphein ” (description) Study of human population and dynamics Economics “ oikanomia ” (household management) Study of what constitutes rational human behavior in the endeavor to fulfill needs and wants Table 1: Etymologies of Social Science Disciplines and Definitions

18. Social Science Disciplines Etymologies Definitions Geography ““geo” (Earth), “ graphein ” ( description) Deals with the study of the relationship between the earth and people Linguistics “lingua” (tongue, language) Study of languages and focuses on the three aspects of language History “ histoire ” (recorded and documented events) The study of the past and its records about events.

19. Social Science Disciplines Etymologies Definitions Political Science “ politika ” , “polis” (affairs of the cities) Deals with the system of governance Psychology “psyche” (mind), “logos” (study of) Scientific study of the mind and behavior Sociology “socius” (people gather, associate), “logos” (study of) Study of groups - how they are formed, how they change, and how the group impacts individual behavior

20. Disciplines Functions Anthropology Essentially to understand as many aspects of human life as can possibly be studied, to record its findings, and contribute to both historical understanding as well as to ascertain current states of the human condition in an attempt to better understand and/or act upon those findings. ( Fethe , 2017) Geography To understand basic physical systems that affect everyday life (e.g. earth-sun relationships, water cycles, wind and ocean currents). To learn the location of places and the physical and cultural characteristics of those places in order to function more effectively in our increasingly interdependent world. ( Bonnett , 2008) History A useful for work. Its study helps create good businesspeople, professionals, and political leaders. The number of explicit professional jobs for historians is considerable, but most people who study history do not become professional historians. (Evans, 2001) Table 2: Function of Social Science Disciplines

21. Disciplines Functions Sociology Can study society with a wide variety of focuses. From studying the power elite, to the interaction of the economy, society and the environment, to the examination of various rights movements, Sociology examines the way different aspects of society behave and function. (San Juan, 2011) Political Science A social study concerning the allocation and transfer of power in decision making, the roles and systems of governance including governments and international organizations, political behavior and public policies. ( Mortel et al. 2003) Economics The three most important functions of economics are as follows: Just as feeding, digestion and growth are the vital processes of living beings; similarly production, consumption and growth are the essentials of economies. ( Leaňo , 2012)

22. Disciplines Functions Linguistics Refer to the general social uses of language, such as requesting objects and activities, initiating social interactions, expressing personal feelings, describing aspects of the world, requesting information, and pretending. ( Bernardez , 2013) Demography To know the population of a particular area; To ascertain as to which factors are influencing the population of that particular area; To explain the factors relating to changes in population; and To study the population trends on the basis of the above three factors. Psychology According to earlier psychologists, the function of psychology was to study the nature, origin and destiny of the human soul. But soul is something metaphysical. It cannot be seen, observed and touched and we cannot make scientific experiments in soul. (Kendra, 2020)

23. Disciplines Nature Anthropology (Ramos, 2014) The aim of modern social anthropology is just not to study human society but also to understand the complex issues of modern human life. As primitive people have been the focus of anthropological study, the problems faced by these people in the process of development in modern days become very important for the anthropologists to study. Table 3: Nature of Social Science Disciplines

24. Disciplines Nature Anthropology (Ramos, 2014) Anthropologists not only deal with the study of these problems but also try to find out a solution for this. Developmental anthropology and Action anthropology etc. are the specialized fields within social anthropology which deal with such problems. Therefore, we can say that the scope and aim of social anthropology go together; one influences the other. As much as the scope increases a new aim comes out of it.

25. Disciplines Nature Geography (Semple, 2004) Geography is concerned to provide an accurate, orderly, and rational description of the variable character of the earth's surface" (Hartshorne, p. 21). Understandably this characterization has not been universally accepted, and others have suggested terms such as "areal differentiation," and "spatial interaction" as better expressing the core of geography.

26. Disciplines Nature Geography (Semple, 2004) It has been seen as more akin to history than to the systematic sciences (physics, chemistry, biology, geology, meteorology, etc.) in that it has no body of material peculiar to itself, but rather adopts a point of view. But subjects studied by some geographers, such as map projections, are highly "scientific."

27. Disciplines Nature History (Munslow, 2001) A study of the present in the light of the past: The present has evolved out of the past. Modern history enables us to understand how society has come to its present form so that one may intelligently interpret the sequence of events.

28. Disciplines Nature History (Munslow, 2001) The causal relationships between the selected happenings are unearthed that help in revealing the nature of happenings and framing of general laws. History is the study of man: History deals with man’s struggle through the ages. History is not static. By selecting “innumerable biographies” and presenting their lives in the appropriate social context and the ideas in the human context, we understand the sweep of events.

29. Disciplines Nature History (Munslow, 2001) It traces the fascinating story of how man has developed through the ages, how man has studied to use and control his environment and how the present institutions have grown out of the past. History is concerned with man in time: It deals with a series of events and each event occurs at a given point in time. Human history, in fact, is the process of human development in time.

30. Disciplines Nature History (Munslow, 2001) Objective record of happenings: Every precaution is taken to base the data on original sources and make them free from subjective interpretation. It helps in clear understanding of the past and enables us to take well informed decisions. Multisided: All aspects of the life of a social group are closely interrelated and historical happenings cover all these aspects of life, not limited only to the political aspect that had so long dominated history.

31. Disciplines Nature History (Munslow, 2001) History is a dialogue between the events of the past and progressively emerging future ends. The historian’s interpretation of the past, his selection of the significant and the relevant events, evolves with the progressive emergence of new goals. The general laws regulating historical happenings may not be considered enough; attempts have to be made to predict future happenings on the basis of the laws.

32. Disciplines Nature History (Munslow, 2001) Not only narration but also analysis: The selected happenings are not merely narrated; the causal relationships between them are properly unearthed. The tracing of these relationships lead to the development of general laws that are also compared and contrasted with similar happenings in other social groups to improve the reliability and validity of these laws.

33. Disciplines Nature History (Munslow, 2001) Continuity and coherence are the necessary requisites of history: History carries the burden of human progress as it is passed down from generation to generation, from society to society, justifying the essence of continuity. Relevant: In the study of history only those events are included which are relevant to the understanding of the present life. Comprehensiveness: According to modern concept, history is not confined to one period or country or nation. It also deals with all aspects of human life-political, social, economic, religious, literary, aesthetic and physical, giving a clear sense of world unity and world citizenship.
