Introduction to Social Sciences Social Sciences use research and data analysis to explain human behaviour – what people think, how and why they act the way they do

Social Sciences (i.e. sociology, psychology, civics, economics…) Applied Sciences (i.e. mathematics, physics, biology…) Scientific/ Inquiry Method

The Inquiry Method Many disciplines in social sciences use the scientific method (called the inquiry method in our course) The inquiry method is used to gather data and information when studying the behaviour, trends and statistics regarding society, individuals and groups

Definition of Social Sciences The study of people as individuals and as members of groups (i.e. families, communities, societies, peer groups…). The social sciences include various areas of study – known as disciplines – such as history, law, civics, economics…

And those as the heart of this course: Anthropology – considers the scientific study of humans, especially of their origin, behaviour and physical, social, and cultural development (macro level) Psychology – studies the human mind, emotions, behaviours of individuals (micro level) Sociology – examines human society and group behaviour (macro level)
