    Social Science Notes


    Brief Summary:
    This course introduces some Applied Social Sciences, namely,
    Counseling, Social Work, and Communication, which draw their
    foundation from the theories and principles of Psychology, Sociology,
    Anthropology, and other Social Sciences.

    The course highlights the seamless interconnectivity of the different


    applied social science disciplines while focusing on the processes and
    applications of these applied disciplines in critical development areas.

    At the end of the course, students shall demonstrate competencies in


    interacting and relating with other individuals, groups, and communities;
    apply social sciences principles, practices, and tools in addressing the
    development areas identified by the class; and analyze how processes in
    these applied disciplines work in specific life situations.

    I. What is the meaning of the term social science?


    Social science is a major category of academic disciplines, concerned
    with society and the relationships among individuals within a society. It
    in turn has many branches, each of which is considered a “social
    science”. The main social sciences include psychology, economics, law,
    political science, human geography, demography and sociology. In a
    wider sense, social science also includes some fields in the humanities
    such as anthropology, archaeology, jurisprudence, history, and linguistics.
    The term is also sometimes used to refer specifically to the field of
    sociology, the original ‘science of society’, established in the 19th century.

    Positivist social scientists use methods resembling those of the natural


    sciences as tools for understanding society, and so define science in its
    stricter modern sense. Interpretivist social scientists, by contrast, may use
    social critique or symbolic interpretation rather than constructing
    empirically falsifiable theories, and thus treat science in its broader sense.
    In modern academic practice, researchers are often eclectic, using
    multiple methodologies (for instance, by combining the quantitative and
    qualitative techniques). The term social research has also acquired a
    degree of autonomy as practitioners from various disciplines share in its
    aims and methods.

    Short Test:
    Question: Definition of Social Sciences
    My Answer: Social science is, in its broadest sense, the study of society
    and the manner in which people behave and influence the world around
    us. Social science tells us about the world beyond our immediate
    experience, and can help explain how our own society works - from the
    causes of unemployment or what helps economic growth, to how and
    why people vote, or what makes people happy. It provides vital
    information for governments and policymakers, local authorities, non-
    governmental organizations and others.
