Its subbranches are cultural anthropology, archeology, physical anthropology, and linguistic anthropology. FOUNDATION OF SOCIAL STUDIES 1ST Semester AY 2024-2025 JOEMAR N.

FOUNDATION OF SOCIAL STUDIES 1ST Semester AY 2024-2025 JOEMAR N. PIHNUTON, MAT SocStud Geography as a discipline can be split broadly into two main sub-fields: human geography and physical geography. The former focuses largely on the built environment and how space is created, viewed, and managed by humans as well as the influence humans have on the space they occupy. The latter examines the natural environment and how the climate, vegetation & life, soil, water, and landform are produced and interact. As a result of the two subfields using different approaches a third field has emerged, which is environmental geography FOUNDATION OF SOCIAL STUDIES 1ST Semester AY 2024-2025 JOEMAR N. PIHNUTON, MAT SocStud History is the continuous, systematic narrative and research of past events as relating to the human species; as well as the study of all events in time, in relation to humanity. History can be seen as the sum total of many things taken together and the spectrum of events occurring in action following in order leading from the past to the present and into the future. The historical method comprises the techniques and guidelines by which historians use primary sources and other evidence to research and then to write history.

Law is not always enforceable, especially in the international relations context. It has been defined as a "system of rules", as an "interpretive concept” to achieve justice, as an "authority" to mediate people's interests, and even as "the command of a sovereign, backed by the threat of a sanction”. However one likes to think of law, it is a completely central social institution. Legal policy incorporates the practical manifestation of thinking from almost every social sciences and humanity.

The field is divided into areas that focus on aspects of the linguistic signal, such as syntax (the study of the rules that govern the structure of sentences), semantics (the study of meaning), phonetics (the study of speech sounds) and phonology (the study of the abstract sound system of a particular language); however, work in areas like evolutionary linguistics (the study of the origins and evolution of language) and psycholinguistics (the study of psychological factors in human language) cut across these divisions.
