We have learned in this lesson the similarities, differences,

and importance of the domains of the natural sciences and the
social sciences. Apart from being utilized in natural science,
you also have seen how the scientific method can be applied
to the different disciplines to the social sciences. While the
natural sciences and the social sciences maybe differ in
research outputs and validation techniques, this does not
diminish the fact that all scientists must remain astute and
perceptive when performing their research studies. Scientific
method is integral in both domains since the formulation of an
effective working hypothesis relies on the accuracy of the
obtained data. Now that you already have a background on
the nature of the social sciences, the next lesson will introduce
you to the different disciplines of the social sciences. Each
discipline will have its own way of looking at society depending
on its focus of study on human behavior. These disciplines
have their own means to help solve various social problems
and improve human conditions in the society. It is now time to
discover the strong points of each discipline of the social
sciences.
