    anthropology is the systematic study of the
    biological, cultural and social aspects of man. It is derived
    from the two Greek words, anthoropos, which means
    “Man” and Logos, which means “Study.”
    sociology is defined by Anthony Giddens as “the
    study of human social life, groups, and society.” In this
    academic discipline, it provides deeper assessment of
    individual or group behavior, as well as social phenomena.
    political science is the systematic study of
    politics, which Andrew Heywood describes as “the activity
    through which people make, preserve, and amend the
    general rules under which they live.” It focuses on the
    fundamental values of equality, freedom, and justice.
