SOCIAL SCIENCE

Social Science is a category of academic

disciplines, concerned with society and the
relationships among individuals within a
society.
 BRANCHES OF SOCIAL SCIENCE
Social science as a whole has many branches. These social sciences
include, but are not limited to:
• Anthropology
• Archaeology
• Communication Studies
• Economics
• Linguistics
• Political science
• Psychology
• Public health
 HISTORY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES
The History of the Social Sciences has origin in the common
stock of Western Philosophy and shares various precursors,
but began most intentionally in the early 19th Century with
Positivist Philosophy of Science. Since the Mid-20th Century,
the term "Social Science" has come to refer more generally,
not just to Sociology, but all those disciplines which analyze
society and culture. It has been around for hundreds of
years and is still being studied to this day. However, there
were many founders of the Science that looks at the non-
natural world and into the elements of behavior and beyond.

 2. MAX WEBER

Max Weber was a Sociologist and Political Economist

who influenced many Social Scientist to come. He was
one of the first to study Methodological Anti-
positivism, or the belief that the findings that arise in
Social Science.
 3. KARL MARX

Karl Marx wasn't just an advocate for workers or

communism, he was also a Social Scientist. After his
work brought controversy, he sought refuge in Belgium
where he theorized that "The Nature of Individual's
depends on the material conditions determining their
production."
 4. WILLIAM DU BOIS

William Du Bois proved that Social Sciences aren't just

for white men. He was born on 1868 in Massachusetts
and was a stern advocate for civil rights. In his book,
"The Suppression of African Slave Trade" he even
included an attack on Civil Rights, leader Booker T.
Washington for not doing more in the campaign for
civil rights.
 5. LEON FESTINGER AND JAMES
CARLSMITH

A dual of Social Scientist took an individual's central

stories and why they think and behave the way they
do. The experiment was conducted in 1959 at Stanford
University and involved students doing a boring tasks
and then being paid to promote it. Expectations,
outcomes, and more marked this amazing moment in
Social Science history.
 EFFECT OF SOCIAL SCIENCES IN
GLOBALIZATION
Some theoretical and imperial answers to the question of
whether globalization is good for; Employment, Poverty,
Alleviation, and Income Redistribution.

Students of Globalization tend to agree that it involves the

bridging of temporal, spatial and cultural distances in new
ways, and these processes tend to be driven by the
revolution in transport technologies and communication.
 EFFECT OF SOCIAL SCIENCES IN
GLOBALIZATION
During the industrial period, psychology held a conception
of the person as a self-contained individual acting
autonomously, free to form associations, and set apart any
community. Modernism's theory of the person emphasized
voluntarism and prioritized the individual over community.
However, most of that research constitutes "Area Studies"
research and has not emphasized the transnational and
global dimensions so prominent in the world today.
 EFFECT OF SOCIAL SCIENCES IN
GLOBALIZATION

Moreover, as we seriously consider the globalization of

social scientific research, we have to critically reflect
upon the broad cultural assumptions that undergird our
research ethics and how they might fit with or against
those of our colleagues abroad.
 WHAT ARE THE IMPACTS OF SOCIAL
SCIENCES IN GLOBALIZATION?
How have Global processes and Global histories shaped
the Social Sciences? While Social Scientists have thought a
great deal about Globalization, few have asked how the
scales and depth of interdependence between societies
have shaped the models and techniques- the cognitive
styles- of the Social Sciences.
This symposium aims to discuss the past, present, and
the future of the Social Sciences from an international
perspective.
 WHAT ARE THE IMPACTS OF SOCIAL
SCIENCES IN GLOBALIZATION?

This event, we hope, will evolve into a working

group and yield an anthology of future-oriented
essays that chart alternative pathways for Social
Science research.
