II.
As a student now studying anthropology, sociology, and political science who
thinks in the conventional method, I can merge the ideas and concepts found in these
disciplines of study into the action of dealing with the new normal style of learning today.
Because anthropology provides the opportunity to explore every element of human
existence, I intend to use this technique to research and obtain information as much as
possible despite the restrictions imposed by the epidemic. In the same way as
anthropology provides a view into the unknown, I want to create my own window and
store as much knowledge as possible during these days of self-reliance.

Since the epidemic prevents us from having a social life, sociology may replace
that void by increasing our awareness of the potential of social action. So, even if we are
confined to the four walls of our rooms, we will not be deprived of critical insight and
perspective on the solution to societal issues, which is an important factor to cope up with
the 'new normal' method of learning.
 Political Science teaches students like me about the political structures and rules
that control how all firms operate. It also helps students improve their grasp of team
effectiveness and human interactions, as well as their writing, communication, and
statistics abilities. As an ABM student dealing with how firms run and a lot of statistics,
these aspects are extremely relevant to me. Having sufficient information about mostly
communication and writing abilities via the study of political science may be greatly
useful in coping with the new normal style of learning since vocal engagement is reduced
and we primarily communicate through texts.
