The Sociology Program prepares one for a lifetime of change by developing one's
appreciation of diversity, love of learning, writing and study skills, and knowledge base
about human behavior, social organization, culture, and social change. ... Sociology helps us
look more objectively at our society and other societies.” www.tnstate.edu › sociology › For example,
one aspect of sociology is the study of social institutions, which are major structures made
up of groups or ideas that influence people's daily lives, views of the world, or integration
into society. Examples are religion and schools. study.com
Anthropology is the science that deals with the origins, physical and cultural
development of human being. Early hominids and primates, such as
chimpanzees. Biological characteristic, social customs and beliefs of human kind. ”to an
anthropologist, diversity itself – seen in body, shapes and sizes, customs, clothing, speech,
religion, and worldwide – provides a frame of reference for understanding any single aspect
of life in any given community. Anthropologist take account of the equal but different ways
of how people live in the world. Franz Boas (1858-1942) champion the study on
anthropology thus making him the father of the discipline. Aside from him, Karl Marx
(1818-1883), Emile Durkheim (1858-1977), and Max Weber (1864-1920) were also some of
the first people to raised critical questions about this study.

Such study allows us to better understand why people behave the way they do and how
different groups have such amazing variety in their life ways. It allows us to learn about diversity
and respect the adaptability of man to the enormous variety of environments where people
live.”www.quora.com ›

Political Science deals with the study of politics, power and government. It makes
generalizations and analyses about political systems and political behaviour and uses these
results to predict future behaviour (as in elections and similar processes where predicting
behaviour are important). Political science includes the study of political philosophy, ethics,
international relations and foreign policy , public administrations, and the dynamic relations
between different parts of government.in its most generic sense, political science assumes
the asymmetrical power relations of members of society but problematizes the unjust and
unfair effects of such relations manifested in matters related to governance. Government is
necessary to the existence of civilized society.www.dictionary.com › browse › government

The Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle is known as "the father of

political science." His works "The Politics" and "Nicomachean
Ethics" among many others evaluated political systems on a
philosophical basis. www.quora.com › Who-is-known-as-the-father-of-politic

Aristotle called it the “master science” because it influences all aspects of human life: what we
can do, what we can say, where we can live, even what we can eat. There is no escaping politics,
but we can discover more effective ways to use it by studying Political Science.
