The social sciences are the fields of scientific knowledge and academic scholarship that study social groups and, more generally, human society. The social sciences initially were constituted of five fields: Jurisprudence and Amendment of the Law; Education; Health; Economy and Trade; Art. The contemporary field of science comprise academic disciplines concerned with the study of the social life of human groups, animals and individuals; This includes anthropology, archaeology, philology, communication studies, cultural studies, demography, economics, human geography, history, linguistics, media studies, political science, psychology, social work, and sociology (the latter often synonymous with the term 'social science' itself).

Q. I have to come up with an example from nature or social sciences for my Quantitative Methods class that would follow a Normal Curve. Would average life expectancy be an example of this? I am thinking it would be because it is the average age that the majority of people live to be. Some fall below the average and some will live beyond the average. I am going by the average for my state which is 75.1 years. What about average American woman's shoe size? I can't use height because we used that as an example in class and my professor said we can't use any example from class or from the text. Asked by justme - Tue Feb 17 10:22:30 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Expected age is not normally distributed. Imagine a normal curve with an average at about 72 years. You will have a cluster of people who die at about 72 years, but the data is funny as you move down the tails. As you move through the ages of 25 to 55 the death rate is almost steady. This would clearly not be normal in this region. Also, no body lives over some age like 120 (I think). The data goes to zero out past that point which is also not normal. Now... this said... you could claim that death rates are approx. normal and this may be true... but I wouldn't try it if I were you.

Q. In other words, are physical scientists plainly put, smarter than social scientists? Someone has once pointed out to me that anyone can pick up a psychology text and understand it, but to understand physics or chemistry, one needs extensive practice and training that can't be self-taught. Asked by anonymous - Wed Sep 5 11:50:45 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. my high school valedictorian taught himself calculus. i think hard sciences require more preparation but social sciences aren't any less important. the biggest fear in social sciences is when they stop realizing its a science with theories and start acting like they are working in great truths. then you have a mess like the psychological pharmaceuticals industries we have today. give mommy more pills and sit her in front of the tv to make her all better. good idea.
