Questions about the past include prehistoric origins and human evolution. The study of contemporary humanity focuses on biological and cultural diversity, including language. nature of ANTHROPOLOGY The nature of anthropology can be view from its historical perspective because it is a global discipline involving humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. nature of ANTHROPOLOGY Its foundations return to the scholarly Enlightenment of the eighteenth and mid nineteenth hundreds of years in Europe and North America. As European countries created states in far off pieces of the world and Americans extended west and south into the regions of Indians, it became evident to them that humankind was amazingly changed. nature of ANTHROPOLOGY Anthropology started, partially, as an endeavor by individuals from logical social orders to unbiasedly record and grasp this variety. Curiosity in bizarre individuals and customs in distant pieces of the world is the thing that principally roused these early beginner anthropologists. nature of ANTHROPOLOGY In North America anthropology is characterized as a discipline containing four fields that emphasis on separated yet interrelated subjects. The subjects are archaeology, biological anthropology (or actual human sciences), linguistic anthropology and cultural anthropology (or social human studies).  sociology It is the scientific investigation of human culture and social behavior. Sociology is a discipline in social sciences concerned about human society and human social activities.  nature of sociology As a discipline, sociology arose early in the nineteenth century in response to rapid social change. Major transformations in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, such as rapid industrialization resulting in a large, anonymous workforce.  nature of sociology The French social thinker Auguste Comte (1798– 1857) first coined the term sociology to describe a new way of thinking about societies as systems governed by principles of organization and change. Most agree that Émile Durkheim (1858–1917), the French humanist, made the biggest commitment to the development of social science as a social scientific discipline.  nature of sociology Sociology has created as a worth free discipline. It is concerned with is, not with what should be. Sociology is an empirical discipline like Physics, Chemistry, or Mathematics, and not as an applied science like Engineering or Computer Science.  POLITICAL SCIENCE It is the study of the nature, causes, and consequences of collective decisions and actions taken by groups of people embedded in cultures and institutions that structure power and authority.

Nature of Political Science is a social science concerned with the theory and practice of politics and the description and analysis of political systems and political behavior. nature of POLITICAL SCIENCE It incorporates matters concerning the portion and move of power in making decision, the jobs and frameworks of administration including governments and worldwide associations, political behavior and public policies.  nature of POLITICAL SCIENCE Political Science is in this way an investigation of the state in the past, present and future of the political organization, political cycles and political functions of political establishments and political theories. Political Science has a few subfields, including political hypothesis, public policy, public legislative issues, worldwide relations, human rights, natural governmental issues and near legislative issues. petal web organizer Directions: Using the petal web organizer, write the most important details about the nature and goals of anthropology, sociology and political science. Directions: There are five words that you can find below; however, the letters are jumbled.
