Quarter 1: Module 2
(Week 2-3)
BEGIN !!
We see all kinds of people around us. We talk, mingle, and interact with other people. The
picture above depicts the complexity of human nature and how varied our personalities are from another. While we belong
in the same community and may share the same norms, we are all entirely different from the way we think, act and behave given the
differing scenarios we encounter in our daily lives. The various disciplines in the social sciences attempt to study human society
depending on their focus of study in order to help us understand our very own intricacies. This lesson will help us to understand the
different disciplines within the social science.
YOUR TARGETS !!
At the end of the lesson, the students are expected to be able to:
1. identify the various social science disciplines;
2. compare and contrast the various social science disciplines; and
3. explain the nature of emergence of social science disciplines.

Lesson 2 : Disciplines within the Social Sciences
Social science disciplines pose different questions but they actually observe a common social phenomenon-everyday life
events and activities that involve people and a people living together in a particular society. Since there are two elements constituting
social science, one is society (hence, social) and the other is empirical analysis (hence, science), the study and understanding of social
phenomena presuppose or require an assumption that there is a reality out there that must be understood; that the means through which
they must be understood or comprehended by humans is through a thorough observation and critical analysis of facts, evidence, and
conditions found among the people living in a particular society. The aim of every social science is to characterize the nature of being
human. However, they approach this problem in a somewhat limited manner focusing and privileging one factor over the other as the
prime motivator of human existence.
Anthropology deals with the nature of human beings, both from a biological and cultural point of view. For anthropologists, culture
is a key factor that shapes human nature and that this culture is conditioned by both natural and social environments.
Economics, thought at times separated from the other social sciences due to its emphasis on quantitative analysis and mathematical
equations as representations of social behavior, focuses on markets, wealth, and resources that people construct and make use of in
order to live. Given the limited resources, economists study how these resources are allocated among the people and how they affect
the material condition of society.
Geography, on one hand, insists that it is the environment or the location of the people-a condition that exists outside of people-that
ultimately conditions the way people will behave in society. The proximity to certain geographic locations determines the kind of
society that will be formed or created over a period of time.
History, meanwhile, interprets that the past is part and parcel of the present as events that happened in the past shape the way people
make their decisions in the present.
Demography, deals with population as a unit of analysis. Demographic process such as birth migration and aging are investigated
because they impact on how society changes across a period of time.
Psychology asserts what is going on within the individual mind or the psyche-one’s feelings, joy, fears, worries, triumphs, and
struggles-does shape the way he or she views society and thus impacts on his or her relationship with people and the environment.
Political Science believes that it is politics is the political realm that captures human life.
Linguistics is the scientific study of language. It involves the analysis of language form, language meaning, and language
in context. Linguists traditionally analyse human language by observing an interplay between sound and meaning. Linguistics also
deals with the social, cultural, historical, and political factors that influence language, through which linguistic and language-based
context is often determined.
