What is It
ANTHROPOLOGY AS A DISCIPLINE
Contrasted with different disciplines that address humankind like history, social
science, or brain research, human studies is more extensive two ways. As far as
mankind's past, human sciences think about a more noteworthy profundity of time.
4
NATURE OF ANTHROPOLOGY
The nature of anthropology can be view from its historical perspective because
is a global discipline involving humanities, social sciences and natural sciences.
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.
GOALS OF ANTHROPOLOGY
is to comprehend the fossil record of early people and their precursors just as the archeological
record of later ancient social orders.
to understand how we adapt to different environmental conditions and how we vary as a species.
is to find out about both the natural and social parts of humankind all throughout the planet and all
through time.
to apply anthropological information to help forestall or take care of issues of living people groups,
including destitution, substance addiction, and HIV/AIDS.

PERSPECTIVE OF ANTHROPOLOGY
Holism
Anthropologists are keen all in all of mankind, in how different parts of life connect. One can't
completely see the value in being human by contemplating a solitary part of our mind-
boggling narratives, dialects, bodies, or social orders. By utilizing a comprehensive
methodology, anthropologists request how various angles from human existence impact each
other.
Cultural Relativism
the possibility that we should try to comprehend someone else's convictions and practices
according to the viewpoint of their way of life as opposed to our own. Anthropologists don't
pass judgment on different societies dependent on their qualities nor do they see alternate
methods of getting things done as second rate. All things being equal, anthropologists try to
comprehend individuals' convictions inside the framework they have for clarifying things.

Fieldwork
In Cultural Anthropology, field work is alluded to as ethnography, which is both the interaction and
aftereffect of social anthropological examination. The Greek expression "ethno" alludes to
individuals, and "graphy" alludes to composing. The ethnographic interaction includes the
exploration technique for member perception hands on work: you partake in individuals' lives, while
noticing them and taking field takes note of that, alongside interviews and reviews, establish the
examination information
SOCIOLOGY AS A DISCIPLINE
NATURE OF SOCIOLOGY
GOALS OF
The ultimate goal of sociology is to acquire knowledge about society like all the other
social sciences discipline, as Samuel Koenig has pointed out the ultimate aim of
sociology is ” to improve man’s adjustment to life by developing objective knowledge
concerning social phenomena which can be used to deal effectively with social
problems”.

consistently underestimated, to analyze our social climate with the very interest that
we may bring to an extraordinary unfamiliar culture.
The study of Sociology drives us into spaces of society that we may somehow have
disregarded or misunderstood. Since our perspective is formed by our own
experience and since individuals with various social encounters have various
meanings of social reality, sociology assists us with liking perspectives other than
our own and to see how these perspectives appeared.
Sociology likewise assists us with understanding ourselves better. Without the
sociological perspective (which has been known as the "sociological imagination"),
individuals see the world through their restricted insight of a little circle of family,
companions, colleague. The sociological imagination permits us to stand separated
intellectually from our restricted insight and see the connection between private
concerns and social issues. It grants us to follow the connection between the patterns
and events of our own and the patterns and events of our society.
Political Science 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.
In other words, Political Science is a social science discipline that deals with systems
of governance, and the analysis of political activities, political thoughts, associated
constitutions and political behavior.
Politics is not only a mere institution of governance but also a mechanism for
achieving societal goals. 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.
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.
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.
The forerunners of Western legislative issues can follow their underlying foundations
back to Greek scholars Socrates, Plato (427–347 BC) and Aristotle (384–322 BC). The
investigations were theory arranged. Plato composed The Republic and Aristotle
composed the Politics. Aristotle is known as the Father of Political Science. He is well
known for his assertion "Man is a political animal".
