Direction: List down the nine disciplines of social sciences on the first column then briefly describes
the functions on the next column. Use a separate bond paper.
What is it? (Approach: Direct Strategy: Discussion Method)
Just like an identical twin, the different disciplines of social science have similarities despite of their
differences. According to Quexbook, 2018 Anthropology traces its roots to Ancient Greek historical
and philosophical writings about human nature and the organization of human society. According to
Quexbook, 2018 The Modern Economics, which is still being studied today, is the result of the
efforts of ancient or Pre classical (384 B.C - 1776), classical (1776 - 1871), Neoclassical (1871 -
today) and Islamic Economists. According to Quexbook, 2018 Some of the first truly geographical
studies occurred more than four thousand years ago. The main purpose of these early
investigations was to map features and places observed as explorers travelled to new lands. At this
time, Chinese, Egyptian, and Phoenician civilizations were beginning to explore the places and
spaces within and outside their homelands. The earliest evidence of such explorations come from
the archaeological discovery of a Babylonian clay tablet map that dates back to 2300 BC. According
to Quexbook, 2018 People with a certain word choice, syntax, and pronunciation are revealed to be
members of a particular speech community; a group of people who share social conventions about
language use. Some features are noticeable (salient) and are recognized within the community as
having a particular social meaning. Other features are sociolinguistic indicators that can be
associated with certain social characteristics. Different speech communities may reflect subsets of
the same language called dialects. According to Quexbook, 2018 From the late 1950s to mid-
1980s, works in the history of Political Science stand out by their sheer rarity. Earlier political
scientists were rather (though not exceptionally) more historical in their disciplinary self -
understanding. Wilhelm Wundt opened the first experimental laboratory in Psychology at the
University of Leipzig, Germany. Credited with establishing psychology as academic discipline,
Wundt’s students include Emil Kraepelin, James McKeen Cattell, and G. Stanley Hall. According to
Quexbook, 2018 Although sociology has its roots in the works of philosophers like Plato, Aristotle,
and Confucius, it is a relatively new academic discipline. It emerged in the early nineteenth century
in response to the challenges of modernity. 6 According to Quexbook, 2018 The Demographic
Transition Model (DTM) is based on historical population trends of two demographic characteristics
- birth rate and death rate - to suggest that a country’s total population growth rate cycles through
stages as that country develops economically.
