Different SocialSciences: A Glimpse

As it has already been said earlier social sciences refer to a related group of disciplines that study various aspects of human behavior. The main social sciences are - sociology, economics, political science. anthropology and psychology. History is also included in this category. Human behavior, of course, does not come in such neat compartments. In reality the boundaries between the social sciences are very vague and constantly shifting. Each one of these sciences has different historical origins and each science is trying to preserve its distinctness. in spite of specialisation found among the social sciences, they are interrelated and interdepended. Nobody could possibly be an expert in all of them. Because, social scientists are aware that their sciences overlap. This awareness has been responsible for the development of what is known as an "interdisciplinary approach". This approach stresses the idea that each science is necessarily related to, and sometimes dependent on the other. This approach gives them a free hand to "invade" each other's territory whenever it seems useful to do so.
