Social Science; 10 Miscellaneous Dissertations Volume 2 (Paperback)

Paperback. The social sciences are concerned with the study of society-people living together in a community that is, in some way, ordered. Social scientists seek to understand the behaviour and relationships among individuals within a society. Once a term used only for sociology, social science now covers a wide range of disciplines, including anthropology, archaeology, economics, education, human geography, linguistics, political science and psychology. As in the natural sciences, the use of the scientific method is central to the social sciences, even though people's behaviour and social interactions can seem unpredictable. For sociologists or economists (for example), the process of gathering data, analysing the results, and testing their theories ensures that their conclusions offer insight into how humans and society work.Social Science is the study of people - how we live, how we organise, how we make decisions, and how societies change. At degree level, you are no longer asked to memorise facts. You are asked to think critically, argue with evidence, and connect theory to real life. This book, Social Science: 10 Miscellaneous Dissertations, was written to help degree students do exactly that. Why "Miscellaneous"? It is miscellaneous by design - because real social problems are miscellaneous. Because Social Science is broad. It touches Sociology, Psychology, Politics, Economics, Anthropology, and Development Studies.
