concerned with the production,
distribution, and consumption of
goods and services. It studies how
individuals, businesses, governments,
and nations make choices about how
to allocate resources.

life: How water cycles and ocean
currents work are all explained
with Geography. These are important
Political scientists seek to understand
the underlying ways in which power,
authority, rules, constitutions, and laws
affect our lives. Like other social
sciences, political science focuses on
human behavior, both individually and
collectively.
Economics provides a framework for
understanding the actions and
decisions of individuals, businesses
and governments. It provides a means
to understand interactions in a market-
driven society and for analyzing
government policies that affect the
families, jobs and lives of citizens.
Social anthropology plays a central role
in an era when global understanding
and recognition of diverse ways of
seeing the world are of critical social,
political and economic importance.

problems about the nature of human life
in society.

Psychologists can help people learn
to cope with stressful situations,
overcome addictions, manage their
chronic illnesses, and tests and

History tells you the story of how your
nation, city, or community came to be
everything that it is. It tells you where
your ancestors came from and tells
you who they were. Most importantly
of all, it gives you the ability to spot
(and appreciate) the legacies you
may have inherited from them.
Demography is the statistical study of
human populations. Demography
examines the size, structure, and
movements of populations over space
and time. It uses methods from

sociology, and other fields.
have migrated across the planet, they
have had to adapt to all the changing
conditions they were exposed to.
psychology helps people in large part
because it can explain why people act
the way they do. With this kind of
professional insight, a psychologist can
help people improve their decision
making, stress management and
behavior based on understanding past
behavior to better predict future
behavior.
History plays a crucial role in present
day society. History has established
economic, political, and social norms.
Without history there would be no
foundation for our society to build upon,
and our lives would be dramatically
different.
Demographic change can influence the
underlying growth rate of the economy,
structural productivity growth, living
standards, savings rates, consumption,
and investment; it can influence the
long-run unemployment rate and
equilibrium interest rate, housing
market trends, and the demand for
financial assets.
