EMERGENCE OF SOCIAL SCIENCE DISCIPLINES

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS

Social sciences are vital part of today's culture and touch on all areas of life. It has
been very beneficial to us and has helped us grow as a society. As such, the need for social
science emerged when the society grew and experts thought of analyzing the society using
sciences.
Social sciences are group of academic disciplines that study human aspects of the
world, in particular those involving social behavior and society. These disciplines, focusing
on the study of human social behavior, includes a variety of ways – from understanding how
minds work, to how societies as a whole function. The major social sciences are
Anthropology, Economics, Geography, History, Linguistics, Political Science
Psychology, Demography and Sociology.
Social Science Disciplines
Anthropology is a social science that deals with the study of humankind in all is
aspects: culture and development. It is the study of relationship between biological traits and
socially acquired characteristics. It is the study of what makes us human which is why
sometimes called as the study of human.
Economics is the study of how individuals and societies make decisions about ways
to use scarce resources to fulfill wants and needs. It seeks to understand people’s activities
concerning production, distribution and consumption of goods and services.
Geography focuses on the distribution of the features of the physical environment
and of the people who use those features. It also deals with the study of natural environment
and how it influence social and cultural development.
History, which means “story of man”, is a social science in the sense that it is a
systematic attempt to learn about and verify past events and relate them to one another and to
the present. In other words, it study the past of humanity.

Linguistics is the scientific study of language. It deals with the study of every aspect of
language. It enables us to understand how language works, and how it is used, developed and

preserved over time.
Political Science can be defined as the systematic study of state and government. It
focuses on the theory and practice of government and politics. Sometimes, it can be simply
defined as the study of politics.
Psychology, derived from the Greek words “psyche” (soul/mind) and “logos”
(study), is the scientific study of human behavior and the mental process that is tested through
scientific research (should be systematic in approach). It is a multifaceted discipline and
includes many sub-fields of study such areas as human development, sports, health, clinical,
social behavior and cognitive processes. Moreover, Psychology aims to describe, explain,
predict, and influence behaviour.
Sociology, from the Latin word “societus” (society) and the Greek word “logos”
(science or study or advanced study) or the science/study of society, was coined by August
Comte who is known as the father of Sociology. Demography is the scientific study of human
society and social interactions. Sociologists assume that behavior is influenced by people’s
social, political, occupational and intellectual groupings and by the particular settings in
which they find themselves at one time or another.
Demography is the branch of social science which deals with the size, structure, and
distribution of population, along with the spatial and temporal changes in them in response to
birth, migration, ageing and death. It is also the study of population over time and over place.
Demography is very useful for understanding social and economic problems and identifying
potential solutions.
The study of social science is important because its learning helps us gain knowledge
of the society we live in.
