REMEMBER
Social Science is the discipline under which identity, culture, society, and politics are
studied. It is comprised of a wide array of disciplines that studies the overall function of a
society, as well as the interactions among individual members of an institution.
Anthropology, Sociology, and Political Science are among the disciplines under Social
Science.
According to 18th Century English anthropologist Edward B. Taylor, Anthropology is a
behavioral science that deals with the study of culture, its components, characteristics,
functions, modes of adaptation of as well as the cultural value and practices. Thus, culture
is comprised of a complex whole which encompasses the beliefs, practices, values,
attitudes laws, norms, artifacts, symbols knowledge, and everything that a person learns
and shares as a member of society.
Sociology is a behavioral science that deals with the study of society, its origin,
evolution, characteristics and functions, dimensions and basic social functions. Thus,
society is comprised of a group of people living together in a definite territory, having a sense
of belongingness, mutually interdependent of each other, and follows a certain way of life.
On the other hand, Political Science deals with the study of politics or government. It
also deals with the foundations of state and the principles of government. In Political
Science, the way people govern themselves, the various forms of government, their
structures and their relationship to other institution. Thus, politics involves a set of
activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power
relations between individuals, such as the distribution of resources or status.
Sociology, Anthropology, and Political Science complement each other in showing
different facets of how humans structure their societies. Sociology investigates average
social behaviors of people while political science focuses on certain areas of society like
laws, policies, governments, and other such customs. Anthropology is a wide-ranging field
that covers some of the above topics as well as the biology and psychology of humans.
Together, these three disciplines can depict how human societies operate individually and
with each other.
