Discipline & Ideas in Social Sciences by ROSE ANN M. DANLAYON Quarter 1 Week 1 lesson
Define social science as the study of society Distinguish social sciences from the natural sciences and from the humanities. Illustrate situations and context of early scholars in the development of social science can be applied.. At the end of the module, you should be able to:
Day 1 Who are you and what do you contribute in the society?
1. When you hear the term “ Social ” What comes into your mind?
2. How about the word, “ Science ”?
Social + Science what concept do we come up with?
Social Science: The field of human knowledge that deals with all aspects of the group life of human beings. So, it is subject to change with the changes of human behavior.
10 disciplines of social science Anthropology, Archaeology, Economics, Geography, History, Linguistics, Political science, Psychology Sociology Demography
Anthropology is known as the 'science of humanity'. Anthropologists explore topics relating to the human experience. This includes human behaviour , cultural relations, and how the evolution of humanity has influenced society's structure. Archaeology is the study of humanity through material remains of past life and behaviour . Similar to anthropology, archaeology explores past life and cultures, although this relies much more on the evidence from material remains.
Economics looks at the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services. When studying economics at postgraduate level you can choose to take a close view or a broad one, but in general, economics involves looking at how the economic systems of the world work. Though many of us may remember geography as the subject at school that involved maps, it goes beyond that – analysing population, the land itself, the relationship between the two and often linking to the earth sciences (such as geology ). At postgraduate level, you'll be able to specialise in a particular branch of geography – such as oceanology , environmental management or tourism geography.
History is a broad social science subject that involves studying particular past time periods. law will give you the opportunity to look at a variety of legal systems, and to focus on a particular area – contract law, international law or criminal law, to name but a few. Linguistics is the study of language – looking at how human language is formed, processed and used in different contexts. Rather than learning to speak a particular language, this social science subject is more about how language itself works.
Political science is the study of politics and power from domestic, international, and comparative perspectives. It entails understanding political ideas, ideologies, institutions, policies, processes, and behavior, as well as groups, classes, government, diplomacy, law, strategy, and war. Psychology - the scientific study of the human mind and its functions, especially those affecting behavior in a given context Sociology is the study of social life, social change, and the social causes and consequences of human behavior.
TWO MAIN BRANCHES OF NATURAL SCIENCE: 1. LIFE SCIENCE • or Biological Science 2. PHYSICAL SCIENCE • Physics • Astronomy • Chemistry • Earth Science
Refers to the study of the ways in which the human experience is processed and documented. Humanities
Encompasses the field of: Philosophy, Literature, Religion, Art, Music, Language
Philosophy - the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence, especially when considered as an academic discipline. Literature - written works, especially those considered of superior or lasting artistic merit. Religion - the belief in and worship of a superhuman power or powers, especially a God or gods.
What is the difference between humanities and social sciences
What is the difference between humanities and sciences? The humanities typically are considered more critical and analytical, dealing with the philosophical question of what makes us human . The social sciences, on the other hand, use a more scientific approach, essentially applying similar methodology as the natural sciences to the study of humans in society.
Let's divide the class into 3 groups:
Definitions and/or samples will be given. Then, the group which can raise the answer with a correct spelling will get 1 point. After it, the groups will classify it to whether it is natural Science, Social Science or Humanities. but wait!!!
• If it belongs to Social Science, the group will dance a tiktok dance
• If it belongs to Natural Science, the group will dance a traditional dance
• If it belongs to Humanities, the group will dance aerobics,
a science that deals with matter and energy and their interactions.
physics
2. the scientific study of the human mind and its functions, especially those affecting behavior in a given context.
psychology
the study of human societies and cultures and their development.
Anthropology
the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence, especially when considered as an academic discipline.
Philosophy
the study of the physical features of the earth and its atmosphere, and of human activity as it affects and is affected by these, including the distribution of populations and resources, land use, and industries
