starting point of grasping the discipline, sociology is full of complexities that it
uses different methods and strategies to study a wide range of discipline with
its application to the real world. (OpenStax College, 2013, p.10)
Another pioneering Social Science discipline, anthropology helps us to
understand our holistic identity. It came from a Latin word anthropos –
means man and Greek word logos – means to study.
Anthropology is a branch of Social Science that deals with all aspects of
human beings including their biological evolution and social and cultural
features that definitively distinguish humans from other animal species. With
the scope of the discipline, it encompasses a group of more specific and
specialized fields. Physical anthropology focuses on the biological and
evolutionary framework of humanity. It focuses on greater information and
details about human evolution. Other branches that deal with social and
cultural interactions of human groups are categorically belong to social
anthropology, cultural anthropology, psychological anthropology, and
linguistic anthropology. Archaeology which investigates of prehistoric cultures
as its primary focus, has been an essential part of anthropology since it
became a separate and distinct discipline in the end of the 19th century. The
material remains or artifacts helped social scientists to validate, describe, and
analyze the kind of culture and society humans made through the course of
history. (Kuper et al., 2007)
The etymology of Political Science came from two ancient words. The
word political came from Greek word “polis” means city-state and science
comes from Latin word “scire” which means to know. Political Science is a
discipline in social science concerned primarily in the state, government, and
politics. It focuses widely in political theory and its practice and the analysis of
political systems and behavior. (Calilung F., 2014, p.7)
Comparing to other social sciences, political science has a complex history. Its
earlier form can be traced from the workings of the ancient Greek political
philosophy of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle and later developed into religious-
oriented tradition beginning with Augustine and secularized by Machiavelli,
Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau. These modern political philosophers explained
the transition of Western societies from savagery toward a democratic
commonwealth. Their works paved the way to understand and appreciate
modern philosophical and democratic theories.

Continuation 2:
To deeper understand, different perspectives in each subject was
used. First, Anthropological perspectives are culture, cultural relativism,
fieldwork, human diversity, holism, bio-cultural focus. The four
main perspectives of Anthropology are the cross-cultural or comparative
emphasis, its evolutionary/historical emphasis, its ecological emphasis, and
its holistic emphasis (Dudgeon). An example for this is the analysis and
solutions of the different aspects of the society such as the environment issues
of pollution, the issues on health and medicine and other issues related to the
human activities.
Second, Sociological perspective introduces the discipline of
sociology, including something about its history, questions, theory, and
scientific methods, and what distinguishes it from other social science
disciplines. Central features include social interaction and relationships, social
contexts, social structure, social change, the significance of diversity and
human variation, and the critical, questioning character of sociology. It also
explores what sociologists do. 
Sociology includes three major theoretical perspectives:
1. the functionalist perspective;
2. the conflict perspective; and
3. the symbolic interaction perspective.
Theoretical perspective is used to analyze and explain objects of
social study, and facilitate organizing sociological knowledge. In
functionalist perspective, societies are thought to function like
organisms, with various social institutions working together like organs
to maintain and reproduce societies. The conflict perspective sees
social life as a competition, and focuses on the distribution of
resources, power, and inequality.
Lastly, Political science perspective studies the tendencies and
actions of people which cannot be easily quantified or examined. Political
science is more focused than most social sciences. It sticks to the political
arena and to the realm of politics, either dealing with situations with two
competing sides or the lateral decisions that affect the group as a whole. An
example is the study of democracy as a form of government and why is
democracy considered as the best form of government.
