7. If we want to improve our lives, choices, groups,
institutions and societies we need to understand
how they work?
why they exist? and
how they have functioned in the past?
The most effective study of social science is
when they are studied together to answer the
big questions we have about ourselves and
human life on the planet.
Social Sciences are all about an objective
study (science) of people and their
interactions.

8. Social sciences are among the most interesting subjects to
study. Human behaviour is fascinating. For anyone
involved in a life or profession that deals with human
behaviour (which is arguably everyone), knowledge and
understanding of communication, conflict-resolution,
motivation, etc. is immensely helpful.
Additionally, we can look at the successes and failures of
situations in the past to gain an understanding of how to
better the future. Though this taps more into Social
Studies, the principles are the same.
We are a relational species. It helps us to understand how

9. One of the best reasons is just because it is
fascinating to try and figure out why humans
do what they do. The newer science of
behavioural economics looking closely at how
people can be manipulated to make decisions,
etc., is absolutely fascinating stuff.
Though it is impossible to totally understand
why humans do what they do, it is certainly
possible to better understand it.

10. Studying the social sciences can provide us with so many
important answers and observations that may help improve the
understanding of our lives, and thus help us to improve our
interactions with each other.
The social sciences can provide insight into all types of social
situations such as raising children, family relationships,
friendships, work place relationships, interactions with
strangers, cultural differences, and so on.
Studying these situations and complex scenarios that arise in
each situation really aids those in various professions that
dedicate their lives to helping people improve and understand
their behaviour or psychological processes.

11. Studying social sciences means to acquire
more knowledge and help us to know the
mystery of the society and improve our
interactions with each other, additionally the
social sciences are the most important science
in our life because human being is the
element who lives within a society which takes
the great part in the social sciences.

12. It is important to study social sciences
because they are about what it means to be
human.
When we better understand ourselves, we
can better understand how the world works.
Once we understand that, we are able to
identify root causes of society's problems and
find more effective solutions.

13. The term social science is a catch all for so
many subjects it is sort of like asking "why
should we study life"? Learning about our
own identity, history, culture, and how we
relate to other humans on this planet is
essential to living as one. Psychology,
Sociology, Anthropology, all of these are
essentially the study of what it means to be
human.

… interconnections between society and the technologies on which it depends
The Society-Technology Interactions team represents varied disciplines, including anthropology, economics,
and planning. Team members regularly collaborate with social science, natural and physical science,
technology R&D, engineer, intermediary group, and industrial partners. Though empirically oriented, we take
varied methodological approaches including behavioral, experimental, and regional economics; ethnographic
inquiry; and surveying. Our analyses and products are designed to meet diverse customer needs and range
from models and decision-support tools, to technical reports, to peer-reviewed publications, to
informational and training materials for varied audiences.
