Natural sciences is a little more in the abstract (eg.astronomy, biology) and study the ways in which physical features of natures interact and change.
Social studies is divided in many categories but have a common target: to focus & study social behavior.
- Sociologists study the influence that society has or every human being.
- Historians study the significance of people and events of the past have for us today.
- Psychologists investigate the personality & individual behavior.
- Anthropologists study cultures of the past & other that remain in existence today & they use this knowledge examine contemporary societies.
All people have one thing in common: they are different.
People are so different but what sense would it make if we were all the same and had the same likes & dislikes?? There would be nothing to discuss or to disent about! This is why we are all unique...
We are all equal. Although few people reach the absolute self- knowledge, it i snevertheless important to know, to be aware of who you are, where you've been and where you wanna go that you can perceive better the world you live in. Awareness of ourselves does our relationship between us & the society more smooth.
Each human has something to contribute. If for a reason the individual doesn't contribute his uniqueness to his fellowmen , this will not be passed to the next generation. The individual may not contribute his uniqueness for many reasons...
Everything starts from the first day that we come to this world & everything is important: our parents, our relatives, our parent's friends that a person is gonna grow up, his school/ university. Many parents rather most parents don't have the necessary time to bring up correctly their children, often becauseof their work. Their children are entrusted to nannies or grandparents.
In my point of view, the child should be brought up from his parents, any other person is a stranger. The parents indeed work very hard nowadays and don't have time to spend with their children or they are too tired to do so. Moreover, grandparents come from a surpassed generation, have different opinions, different beliefs, prejudiced sometimes. So most children don't have the indispensable communication or the attention they need from their parents or they are spoiled.
What we have in our mind, what we learn from our family/ environment/ school/ university generally from the country we live in, our culture, the whole society, our generation is called human experience.
According to Merton, the functions of some institutions are conscious such as education from university & other are unconscious such as socialization in a university. Our society has been improved in many things but in some sectors has been deterioated. Women for example once upon a time used to be thought of as inferior from men & had to serve her husband. In addition, women weren't allowed to wear trousers, it was considered that only men had 'the force' to work & the right to wear trousers. Today all these narrowminded point of views are out of date.
