On the other hand, humans are the prime movers of interactions, and they cause changes that occur in our society. Because of human eagerness to explain what is happening in the world, it resulted in the birth of the three major divisions of sciences: the social sciences, natural sciences, and humanities. These sciences are interrelated with the common primary goal to explain how man is influenced by society and how society is shaped by man. As a Senior High School student, some of your responsibilities are increasing your knowledge, widening your awareness, and deepening your understanding of our world. As humans interacting with society, we need to study the sciences and the disciplines that will significantly help us make sense of the things around us. In this module, you will learn the nature and functions of Social Science disciplines with the natural sciences. MOST ESSENTIAL LEARNING COMPETENCY: Differentiate the nature and functions of Social Science disciplines with the Natural Sciences and Humanities. At the end of the module, you should be able to: 1. Discuss the nature and functions of Social Science disciplines with the natural sciences; 2. Identify carefully the importance of nature and functions of Social Science disciplines with the natural sciences in our real- life situations; and 3. Cite practical real-life situations that can distinguish social sciences to natural sciences. Since you already know our target for this module, are you ready to learn more? I hope that you will enjoy all the activities and reading materials that we have prepared for you. Good luck and happy learning to you. 1  1.

SOCIAL SCIENCE AS A DISCIPLINE: AN INTRODUCTION The human quest to search the truth and investigate phenomena to satisfy human curiosity and maximize our existence is the primary reason why we continue in our journey to broaden our knowledge and understanding about the world and humans. With this, man is inclined to organize a system of knowledge that will study general truths or the operation of general laws especially as obtained and tested through a scientific method or what we call science (Merriam-Webster). Science establishes truths and laws through scientific methods such as investigation, inquiry, experimentation, and observation that combine into research. Its cover is comprehensive that is why it is divided into three major sub-branches of knowledge or academic disciplines: social sciences, natural sciences, and humanities. These three branches of science are interrelated and helping each other to discuss the nature and function of different sciences, which is a very essential part of the academic disciplines of the world and humans. In this module, we will learn the nature and functions of Social Science disciplines with the natural sciences and humanities. 4 WEEK 1 LESSON 1 – NATURE AND FUNCTIONS OF SOCIAL SCIENCE AS A DISCIPLINE A. General Concepts and Historical Background Social Science is an academic discipline and a branch of science that deals with the institutions and functioning of human society and with the interpersonal relationships of individuals as members of society (Merriam-Webster). It started during the Age of Enlightenment between the 17th to 19th centuries. This period is also known as the “Age of Reason,” which was an intellectual and philosophical movement that began in Europe. Social science was merely taught as a natural philosophy, but later on, when the Age of Revolutions began, specifically the Industrial Revolution and the French https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5d/ANICET-CHARLES- GABRIEL_LEMONNIER_A_READING_OF_VOLTAIRE.jpg Revolution in Europe, it was conceptualized as moral philosophy and then as science which was experimental or applied that focused on the systematic knowledge-bases or prescriptive practices, relating to the social improvement of a group of interacting entities. There was extensive growth of social science in the 18th century. Pioneers during that time were Denis Diderot, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Auguste Comte, who emphasized social science as a distinct conceptual field and reflected in other specialized encyclopedias. Later on, the discipline was influenced by “positivism,” focusing on knowledge based on actual positive sense experience and avoiding the negative and metaphysical speculation. It was Auguste Comte, who used first the term “science sociale” taken from the idea of Charles Fourier, and he also called it “social physics.” AUGUSTE COMTE JEAN-JACQUES 5 CHARLES FOURIER DENIS DIDEROT https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikip https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi edia/commons/b/b3/Auguste_Co ROUSSEAU a/commons/3/39/Charles_Fourier_% https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denis_Di mte.jpg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/com derot#/media/File:Denis_Diderot_111 28by_Hans_F._Helmolt%29.jpg mons/b/b7/JeanJacques_Rousseau_%28p.PNG ainted_portrait%29.jpg  Furthermore, during this period, the concept of social sciences became established in the five (5) paths of development influenced by Comte in other fields. First, the rise of social research and extensive statistical surveys were undertaken in various parts of Europe and the United States. Second, a route initiated by Emile Durkheim about “social facts” and Vilfredo Pareto introduced the metatheoretical ideas and individual theories. Third, the rise of methodological dichotomy VILFREDO PARETO https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vilfredo_Pareto#/ became media/File:Vilfredo_Pareto_1870s2.jpg present, and the social phenomena were identified and understood because of Max Weber. Fourth, the development of economic knowledge and concept was also introduced. Last was that the correlation of knowledge and social values prospered, and the theory became description and prescription avoided the overlapping discussions of a subject. In the 20th century, the concept of social sciences became interdisciplinary, cross- disciplinary, and quantitative in methodology. Applied mathematics and statistics were used during this time. Later https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/84/Social_Sci on, social sciences influenced the field of ence_Congress_1879.jpg natural sciences and adopted the qualitative method. There was an increase in the quantitative research and qualitative approach because the two were integrated into the study of human action and its implications and consequences. In the contemporary period, social science became the source and center for research and data. There was an emergence of new theories because of different research methodologies used. Two social scientists were influenced by this, and these were Karl Popper and Talcott Parson. KARL POPPER TALCOTT PARSON https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Popp https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Popp er#/media/File:Karl_Popper.jpg er#/media/File:Karl_Popper.jpg 6  Generally, the term “social science” may refer to the specific “sciences of society” established by scholars such as Auguste Comte, Emile Durkheim, Karl Marx, and Max Weber. Disciplines outside of “noble science” and “arts” recognized this academic discipline and branch of science.

Branches Social Science is an academic discipline that focuses on the relationships of institutions, the function of a person in society, and other members of society. Consequently, social sciences have several sub-disciplines or branches that can explain different fields and disciplines. Here are some of the known branches of social sciences: anthropology, communication studies, economics, education, geography, history, law, linguistics, political science, psychology, and sociology. The following are the salient points of the different branches of social sciences: BRANCHES OF DESCRIPTIONS SOCIAL SCIENCES Anthropology ✓ It comes from the two Greek words “anthropos” which means human and “logos,” which means the study of. ✓ It is the holistic "science of man", a science of the totality of human existence. ✓ The discipline deals with the integration of different aspects of the social sciences, humanities, and human biology. ✓ The one who studies the human existence is called an Anthropologist. Communication ✓ It deals with practices of human communication, Studies commonly defined as the sharing of symbols to create meaning. ✓ The discipline encompasses a range of topics, from face-to-face conversation to mass media outlets such as television broadcasting. 7  ✓ Communication studies also examine how messages are interpreted through the political, cultural, economic, and social dimensions of their contexts. ✓ It is also known as "speech communication", "rhetorical studies", "communication science", "media studies", "communication arts", "mass communication", "media ecology", and "communication and media science". Economics ✓ It comes from the two Greek words “oikos,” which means "family, household, estate," and “nomos,” which means "custom, the law," and hence, it means "household management" or "management of the state." ✓ It is a social science that seeks to analyze and describe the production, distribution, and consumption of wealth. ✓ The one who studies household management is called an Economist. Education ✓ It comes from the Latin word “educare,” which means “to draw out,” to facilitate the realization of an individual's potential and talents. ✓ Education includes teaching and learning specific skills, as well as the less tangible but more insightful development of imparting of knowledge, positive judgment, and well-developed wisdom. ✓ Education, in one of its fundamental aspects, include the imparting of culture through the generations. ✓ Teachers and educators are what are called to those taking up and doing the teaching and learning process. Geography ✓ It comes from the two Greek words “geo,” meaning earth or land, and “graphein,” meaning “description” and “graphia,” meaning “to write about.” ✓ It is the science that deals with the description, distribution, and interaction of the diverse physical, biological, and cultural features of the earth’s surface. ✓ The one who studies the earth's surface is called a Geographer. History ✓ It comes from the Greek word “historia,” which means the study of the past and significant events. ✓ It is also defined as a continuous, systematic narrative and research into past human events as 8  interpreted through historiographical paradigms or theories. ✓ The one who studies history is called a historian. Law/Jurisprudence ✓ It is the science or philosophy of law. ✓ It is defined as the “system of rules” and "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." ✓ Laws are political because politicians are the ones who created it. ✓ Studying laws and other political concepts is called a Political Scientist; however, to become a Lawyer, you must pass the test called the BAR exam. Linguistics ✓ It is the scientific study of language. ✓ It involves the analysis of language form, language meaning, and language in context. ✓ Linguists are the term used to call people who know and can speak any language. ✓ Linguists study human speech, including units, nature, structure, and modification of language. ✓ Linguistics investigates the cognitive and social aspects of human language. Political Science ✓ It comes from the two Greek words “polis,” which means “cities-state” and “sciere,” which means “study of.” Therefore, is the study of state affairs. ✓ It is an academic and research discipline that deals with the theory and practice of politics and the description and analysis of political systems and political behavior. ✓ Political science also studies power in international relations and the theory of great powers and superpowers. ✓ The one who studies state affairs is called a Political Scientist. Psychology ✓ It comes from the Greek word “psyche,” which means “mind" and logos, which means "study." ✓ It is an academic and applied field involving the study of behavior and mental processes. ✓ Psychology also refers to the application of such knowledge to various spheres of human activity, 9  including problems of individuals' daily lives and the treatment of mental illness. ✓ The one who studies human behavior and mental processes are called a Psychologist. Sociology ✓ It comes from the Greek word “soci,” which is from the Latin word “socius,” which means “companion or society in general and “logos,” which means “study.” ✓ Sociology is the systematic study of society, individuals' relationship to their societies, the consequences of difference, and other aspects of human social action. ✓ The one who studies the society is called a Sociologist. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_science LESSON 2 - NATURE AND FUNCTION OF SOCIAL SCIENCES WITH THE NATURAL SCIENCES A. General Concepts and Historical Background Since the beginning, humans have always been curious about what is happening in themselves and their environment. Many theories and laws explain the different phenomena and changes in our bodies, environment, society, and the world. Early people sought to explain these phenomena through mythology. The advancement of science and technology has proven to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_of_fire_by_early_humans#/media/File:Dio rama,_cavemen_-_National_Museum_of_Mongolian_History.jpg examine the natural causation of things and thus has debunked numerous superstitions and mythical beliefs. However, not all people are informed, and some still believe in the unseen as the clash between scientific, mythological, and religious views are going on. Natural Science and Social Science are related and integrated into one another and work hand in hand in explaining the concurrent and existing theories and changes happening in humans, the environment, society, and the world as a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitruvian_Man#/media/File:Da_Vinci_Vitruve_Luc _Viatour.jpg 10 whole. Because man, environment, humanities, and society cannot be studied using one discipline of science alone, their collaboration makes the understanding of the man and the world relevant and complete. To analyze how natural science developed through time, let us take a glance at its historical background. It is divided into six (6) periods: ancient times, Aristotelian natural philosophy, medieval natural philosophy, Newton and the scientific revolution, 19th-century developments, and modern natural science. The following are brief discussion and salient points on the historical background of natural science as an academic discipline: PERIODS DESCRIPTIONS Ancient Times ✓ This is the period where the Ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, Indus, and China (3500-3000 BCE) believed that happenings in the world and to humans are a product of mythological and religious revelations. ✓ Scholars trace that this period where understanding the natural world was necessary for survival. Humans developed observation and curiosity about the behavior of animals and the usefulness of plants as a source of food and medicine. Aristotelian Natural Philosophy ✓ This is the period where Aristotle gave much attention to the physical and (400 BCE-1100 CE) natural world. He was a pioneer and became known as the Father of Biology. Some of his works were about astronomy, meteorology, zoology, and physics. ✓ His works were used as references during the Ancient Romans, the Byzantine Empire, and Abbasid Caliphates. ✓ His principle served as an inspiration to Galileo Galilei during Scientific Revolution. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_science#/media/File:Sa nzio_01_Plato_Aristotle.jpg 11 Medieval Natural Philosophy ✓ This is the period where the Catholic Church become a dominant monopoly of (1100-1600 CE) knowledge with regards to natural philosophy. Theologians opposed natural science because they considered it as heresy. ✓ During the Middle Ages, those who study and experiment on natural science were considered performers of magic and members of the occult. ✓ Later on, theologians like Thomas Aquinas and Albertus Magnus have seen natural philosophy as a theological perspective that can be used in church dogma and scriptures. Newton and the Scientific ✓ This is the period where some of the Revolution (1600-1800 CE) Aristotelian natural philosophy debunk and the rise of protestant reformation begun to start conducted a scientific inquiry. ✓ This was also the birth of scientific revolution wherein more natural philosophers gave different perspectives and methodologies in terms of natural science as natural philosophy. ✓ There was the rise of the scientific method as a new way of scientific inquiry and investigation. Experiment and hypotheses formulation became essentials as new scientific-based. Logic and mathematics became the tools to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_science#/media/File:Sir interpret and analyze cause and effect. _Isaac_Newton_(1643-1727).jpg ✓ Sir Isaac Newton, an English Mathematician, and Physicist became the most highlighted natural scientist in this time because of his Law of Gravitational Force and Laws of Motion. 19th-century Developments ✓ This is the period where natural (1800-1900 CE) philosophy become officially named as natural science. ✓ Natural Science institutions emerged, and more professionals linked to this new field. The term scientist used to identify persons studying natural science was invented by William Whewell in 1834. 12  Modern Natural Science ✓ The natural science prospers and further develops in this period. Inventions, (1900-present) discoveries, and experimentations are used for the betterment of man, society, and environment. ✓ New branches of natural science were created, including mechanics, electrodynamics, and thermodynamics. ✓ Today, natural sciences are commonly divided into life sciences, such as botany and zoology, and physical sciences, which include physics, chemistry, astronomy, and Earth sciences. ; B. Branches Natural Science is divided into two (2) major branches, which are the Life Sciences (Biological Sciences) and Physical Sciences. Life science is a branch of science that deals with the scientific study of life and organisms, such as microorganisms, plants, animals, and https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/93/Herd_of_Elephants. human beings. Some of the primary sub- jpg branches of it are anatomy, biology, botany, genetics, and zoology. On the other hand, Physical science is a branch of natural science that deals with the study of non-living systems. Some of the primary sub-branches of it are Astronomy, Chemistry, Earth Science, and Physics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_science#/media/File:Moon_Ded al_crater.jpg The following are the salient points of the different branches of natural sciences: BRANCHES OF DESCRIPTIONS LIFE SCIENCE Anatomy ✓ It comes from the Greek word “anatome” means dissection. It’s a branch of natural science which deals with the structural organization of living things such as plants, animals, humans, and other organisms. 13  ✓ A person studying anatomy is called an Anatomist. Biology ✓ It comes from the two Greek words “bios,” which means life and “logos,” which means study. ✓ It is a branch of natural science which deals with the study of living organisms, including behavior and development. ✓ A person studying biology is called a biologist. Botany ✓ It comes from the Greek word “botane,” which means pasture, grass, or plant. ✓ It is a branch of natural science which deals with the study of different species of plants. ✓ Aerson studying plants is called a Botanist. Genetics ✓ It is a branch of natural science which deals with the study concerning genes, genetic variation, and hereditary of organisms. ✓ It also includes how human traits are passed from parents to offspring through the genetic units called genes. Zoology ✓ It comes from the two Greek words “zoion,” which means animal and “logos,” which means knowledge or study. ✓ It is a branch of natural science that deals with the study of animal kingdom, structure, evolution, classification, and distribution of animals and how they interact with their ecosystems. ✓ A person studying zoology is called a zoologist. BRANCHES OF DESCRIPTIONS PHYSICAL SCIENCE Astronomy ✓ It is the study of celestial objects (such as stars, galaxies, planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and nebulae), physics, chemistry, and evolution of such objects,12 and phenomena that originate outside the atmosphere of Earth, including supernovae explosions, gamma-ray bursts, and cosmic microwave background radiation. Chemistry ✓ It is the study of the composition, structure, properties, and changes of matter. 14 Earth Science ✓ It is the study of how the natural environment (ecosphere or Earth system) works and how it evolved to its current state. ✓ It includes the study of the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere. Physics ✓ It is the study of matter and motion through space and time, along with related concepts such as energy and force. ✓ Moreover, it is the general analysis of nature, conducted to understand how the universe behaves.
