Social sciences include disciplines that are not part of natural sciences. Political science, sociology, journalism, anthropology, linguistic, history, behavioral science, and women’s studies are some of the study programs offered by a social science department in any university or college. These study programs are quite popular, because they offer great career opportunities.
In ancient times, mathematics, history, and literature were all considered the same. However, with the passage of time, social science became a distinct field of study. Today these subjects have their own theories, methodologies, and study principles. These sciences are quite different from natural sciences, such as mathematics, in the way they are taught and in their area of focus.

On your journey through life your Unconscious collects social shoulds.
As a child these go into your thinking processes automatically. By adulthood you have developed an anti-should-shield called your ’sense of self’. You now begin resisting new information as it arrives in your Conscious and start to assess whether or not this new material is right for you by comparing it to what you already know.
Trouble is, by this time what you already know has been built using shoulds implanted and assessed as being right for you by other people. While doing their implanting those other people wanted you to do what was right for them rather than what was right for you – even though they did so believing they had your best interests at heart. We are all subject to this programming and schools are designed to orientate us in this way. I am not saying this is a bad thing – just that the socialisation training provided does not give us the programming we need to be happy – just enough programming, of the right type, to suit the needs of those around us. Society is extremely selfish in this regard.

Social science is a broad category that encompasses various occupations and areas that explores aspects of human society. It covers all aspects including the past events, the milestone achieved, human behavior, relationship among groups, and also the economic growth. It also offers an insight into the behavioral pattern, adaptability to different situations, and decision making abilities of different people and groups. Individuals who do all the study and research on the society and human behavior are known as social scientists.
In this huge field there are many rewarding occupations but some of the most popular choices are anthropologists, archaeologists, geographers, and historians.
