Discipline and Ideas in the Social Sciences
The document discusses the differences and relationships between natural science, social science, and humanities. It defines social science as the systematic study of human society established in the 19th century, with branches including geography, anthropology, history, linguistics, psychology, political science, economics, sociology, and demography. Natural science deals with describing, predicting, and understanding natural phenomena based on empirical evidence, with two main branches being life/biological sciences and physical sciences. While social science and natural sciences both employ the scientific model and use empirical data, social science deals with human subjects rather than objects and involves less control and predictability. Humanities encompass the study of how human experience is processed and documented through fields like philosophy,

Topic 1 diss introduction
This document defines social sciences and discusses its history and relationship to other fields of study. Social sciences examine how societies work and how people interact within groups. The field originated in ancient Greece and was further developed during the Enlightenment. Social sciences rely on interpretation and qualitative research methods to study topics like economics, political science, anthropology, and sociology. They seek to understand and explain human behavior and culture, which separates them from natural sciences which focus on physical phenomena.
LESSON 2 DISCIPLINE AND IDEAS IN SOCIAL SCIENCE.pptx
This document discusses the discipline of social sciences. It defines social science as the study of society and its aims to understand all aspects of society and find solutions to social problems. The document then discusses seven main social science disciplines - anthropology, economics, geography, history, political science, sociology, and psychology. It provides brief definitions and descriptions of each discipline, their key areas of focus, and origins of their names. The document aims to help learners understand the nature and fields of different social science disciplines.
Intersubjectivity activity
This document outlines a group activity form for a discussion on intersubjectivity at Siniloan Integrated National High School in Laguna, Philippines. The activity involves a group discussion, assessment, and assignment. Students will discuss concepts related to intersubjectivity like accepting differences, appreciating talents of disadvantaged groups, and authentic dialogue. They will then complete a 20 question true/false assessment as a group. Finally, groups will perform a charity act demonstrating appreciation for persons with disabilities.
DISS - Approaches - Institutionalism
The document discusses different approaches in social sciences, including institutionalism. It describes institutionalism as a subject matter, method, and theory. As a subject matter, it focuses on the study of political institutions. As a method, it is descriptive, inductive, formal-legal, and comparative in examining institutions historically. As a theory, it makes claims about the causes and consequences of institutions and supports democratic values.
Introduction to Social Science
This document provides an introduction to social science, outlining several key points:
1. It defines social science as fields that study human society, including anthropology, archaeology, economics, political science, sociology, and others.
2. It discusses the connection between social science and social problems, using poverty and economics as an example.
3. It outlines several important approaches to research in social science, including functionalist theory, conflict theory, exchange theory, and symbolic interaction theory.
Topic 5 diss- marxism
- Society is divided into two main competing classes: the bourgeoisie (owners of capital) and the proletariat (workers).
- The bourgeoisie exploit the proletariat by appropriating the surplus value generated by workers and paying them only a subsistence wage.
- This unequal class-based system leads to conflict and contradiction that will inevitably cause revolution as workers gain class consciousness.
- The state is seen as a mechanism for one class to oppress other classes. A Marxist would seek to overthrow the capitalist state and replace it with a dictatorship of the proletariat as a transition to full communism.

Chapter 1 the birth and growth of the social sciences
Here are 3 examples of social phenomena/behaviors and their effects on individuality:
1. Family structure - Coming from a close-knit or dysfunctional family shapes one's relationships and beliefs. It influences how one sees themselves and functions in society.
2. Peer pressure - The need for acceptance and fear of exclusion can motivate risky behaviors or prevent individuals from expressing themselves authentically. It challenges one's independence and self-identity.
3. Social media use - Constant comparison/validation-seeking online can undermine self-esteem and disconnect people from real social interaction. It redefines social norms and challenges concepts of privacy and image control.
In summary, various social/cultural factors deeply impact the development of

Diss lesson-5-dominant-approaches-and-ideas-in-social-sciences
This document discusses several dominant approaches and ideas in the social sciences. It outlines microlevel approaches like rational choice theory and symbolic interactionism, which focus on individual behavior and decision-making. It also discusses macrolevel approaches like structural functionalism and institutionalism, which examine larger social systems and structures. Structural functionalism views society as a complex system whose parts work together to promote stability. Institutionalism studies how formal and informal institutions influence social behavior by constraining and empowering individuals. The document provides overviews of the key concepts and premises of these different theoretical perspectives in social science.
Nature and functions of the Social Sciences. [Autosaved].pptx
The document discusses the nature and major disciplines of social sciences. It begins by explaining that social sciences developed from moral philosophy and were influenced by historical events like the Industrial and French Revolutions. The major disciplines of social science discussed include anthropology, history, political science, psychology, economics, geography, sociology, linguistics, and demography. Social sciences are distinguished from natural sciences in that social sciences study societies and human behavior qualitatively rather than focusing on quantitative analysis of natural phenomena.

The document discusses several social science disciplines. It provides information on the fields of study and research methods for anthropology, economics, geography, history, linguistics, political science, psychology, sociology, and demography. The disciplines cover topics like culture, language, human evolution, spatial relationships between people and environments, systems of governance, behavior, and social groups. Common research methods include ethnography, case studies, surveys, interviews, and data analysis techniques.
Structural functionalism - DISCIPLINE AND IDEAS IN THE SOCIAL SCIENCE
Structural functionalism was the dominant sociological perspective in the 1950s. It focuses on how social structures shape human behavior and how social institutions work together in a society. Two leading theorists were Talcott Parsons and Robert Merton. Forerunners included Auguste Comte, Herbert Spencer, Karl Marx, and Emile Durkheim. Comte saw sociology as the scientific study of society and its development. Spencer viewed society as like a living organism with interdependent parts. Functionalism examines how institutions function to ensure society's survival. Parsons analyzed society's core functions of adaptation, goal attainment, integration, and latency.

Rational-Choice-Theory.pptx
Rational choice theory (RCT) proposes that all human behavior is rationally motivated to maximize personal utility even if it appears irrational. RCT views individuals as making choices by weighing costs and benefits to optimize outcomes based on their preferences. RCT assumes that individuals make rational decisions to maximize benefits while minimizing costs, and that social phenomena arise from the aggregate of individual choices rather than external social forces.
Angelica esguerra (socscie)
Hermeneutical phenomenology aims to interpret the meaning of lived experiences through description and symbolism. It was influenced by philosophers like Augustine, Luther, Schleiermacher, Dilthey, Husserl, and Sartre. Key aspects include interpreting experiences through the author's intentions, understanding parts in relation to the whole, and recognizing experiences are situated within broader contexts. Hermeneutic phenomenology is well-suited for social work research due to its focus on application, emphasis on social construction, and ability to link individual experiences to larger structures.
DISS - Introduction, Research, Disciplines:History, Political Science, Langua...
This document provides an overview of various social science disciplines including:
- History is the study of past events and uses evidence from the past to understand the present. It examines periods, locations, military, religion, society, culture, diplomacy, economics and more.
- Linguistics is the study of language, examining elements like phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax and the functions of language.
- Political science examines power and influence, studying fields like comparative politics, international relations, political theory, and public policy.
- Psychology explores the human mind and behavior through perspectives like structuralism, functionalism, psychodynamic, behaviorism, cognitive and socio-cultural approaches.
Human Person in the Society
Human beings are by nature social and exist to relate to others through various relationships that shape their identity. Society is an organized group of people who interact frequently and share a common culture and territory. The social contract theory proposes that in the state of nature individuals are governed by their desires which often lead to conflict, so they form a social contract and consent to be governed for the common good and development of each individual. Different forms of societies have existed throughout history from hunting and gathering to more advanced industrial and post-industrial societies, with technology increasingly impacting social organization but the human person remaining central.
Disciplines and ideas in the social sciences initial discussion
This document discusses and compares natural science and social science. It notes that both are considered real sciences but have different origins, subjects of study, and limitations. Natural science deals with natural events using scientific methods that originated during the Renaissance, while social science emerged in the late 19th century to study human society and social interactions using methods like observation, experiments, interviews and surveys. Key differences include natural science aiming to discover natural laws through fields like physics and chemistry, while social science must interpret human behavior and faces challenges in controlling variables.

The social sciences are fields of scholarship that study society and human social behavior. They include anthropology, archaeology, economics, education, linguistics, political science, and sociology. The history of social science began in ancient philosophy, where there was no distinction between the study of mathematics, history, poetry or politics. Important social science disciplines examine topics like human culture and evolution (anthropology), economic production and consumption (economics), the environment and human use of space (geography), past human events (history), political systems and power structures (political science), the human mind and behavior (psychology), and human social groups and relationships (sociology). Research approaches in social science include functionalism, conflict theory, and

Introduction to social sciences
Social sciences study human society and social relationships using scientific methods. They include fields like anthropology, psychology, sociology, geography, political science, economics and more. The social sciences emerged from ancient philosophy and seek to understand topics like human behavior, culture, governance and economics through research methods like collecting and analyzing information. While natural sciences can reliably study the natural world using the scientific method, social sciences study human interactions which are more complex and do not always allow for the strict scientific method.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
