Social Science
Social science (often rendered in the plural as the social sciences) is one of the branches of science, devoted to the study of societies and the relationships among members within those societies. The term was formerly used to refer to the field of sociology, the original "science of society", established in the 18th century. It now encompasses a wide array of additional academic disciplines, including anthropology, archaeology, economics, geography, history, linguistics, management, communication studies, psychology, culturology, and political science. The majority of positivist social scientists use methods resembling those used in the natural sciences as tools for understanding societies, and so define science in its stricter modern sense.

The reforms were proposed in ''Higher education: a policy discussion paper'' ('the green paper') which was published in December 1987 and announced in ''Higher education: a policy statement'' ('the white paper') published in July 1988. The reforms took place o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
