Introduction
The social sciences, like the physical or biological sciences, are intellectual subjects,
directed primarily toward understanding, rather than action. It would of course be a
curious kind of “understanding” that had no implications for action, and this is perhaps
especially true for the social sciences. Nevertheless, there is a difference between
enlarging one’s understanding of human behavior and society on the one hand and
trying to solve a social problem on the other. The social sciences are distinct from social
problem solving, but each can contribute to the other. A renewed determination to
ameliorate certain long-standing, as well as recently developed, ills of the society has
arisen along with a sense of power and confidence in its ability to do so. In looking for
ways in which to implement this desire for self-control, for directed rather than
accidental improvement, a good many leaders of society have begun to turn,
increasingly expectant, to the social sciences. Some have asked what the social
sciences can contribute to the venture. Others have assumed that these sciences have
a great deal to contribute to a better society and that they need only to be force-fed (the
recommended diet varies from prescriber to prescriber) in order to grow faster and to
make their contribution larger.

What is It
Social science provides empirical data about what the problems are and
encourages people to propose possible solutions, and you try them, and some
of them work. The thinkers are not always right, but they come up with the
ideas.

Introduction
Since the end of the last World War, social scientists, along with other scholars, moved towards
a better understanding of man and his increasingly complex society. One result of this effort has
been the development of the pre-war attempts at a multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary approach
in the study of human society and the formulation of possible solutions to social problems for
purposes of improving the social, economic, political, and cultural conditions under which men
live. Suggesting greater cooperation, coordination, if not integration, of the social sciences
disciplines; this "innovative approach" has been expected to correct what has been a widely
held view: that social have been narrowly provincial or parochial in terms of their respective
disciplines. Therefore, what has been produced by them has been a disjointed, often seemingly
inconsistent, understanding of the problems of man and his society.
If we view all organized knowledge and thought as divided into two large fields, one of them
would consist of the social sciences, the other, of the natural sciences. Conventionally classified
under the social sciences are such disciplines as Anthropology, Economics, History,
Philosophy, Political Science, Sociology, and other similar ones. Treating all the activities,
achievements and attainments of mankind, the social sciences are as extensive as the scope of
human interests and associations. More specifically, they are mainly concerned with, and
contribute their respective disciplines' insights on the relation of man to man, man to society,
and society to society.

Introduction
No discipline is an island entire in itself. That is to say, disciplines are by no means discrete
entities--they necessarily overlap, borrow, and encroach upon one another. Within each
discipline are sub-disciplines that may behave with as great a sense of separation as exists
between separately defined disciplines. Further, as each discipline evolves, the very definition of
it may change. As these definitions change, a particular discipline may increasingly “bump up”
against other disciplines. While the above are accepted a priori for all disciplines to a greater or
lesser degree, some disciplines are well known for their particularly interdisciplinary or “bridging”
character. That is, they may within the one discipline cover physical and social sciences as well
then, is the difference between multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary efforts compared to efforts
within a bridging discipline? Ancillary questions might be: what can interdisciplinary studies
learn from the bridging disciplines, and is training within a bridging discipline particularly suited

What is It
INTERDISCIPLINARITY
➢ An approach to curriculum integration that generates an understanding
of themes and ideas that cut across disciplines and of the connections
between different disciplines and their relationship to the real world. It
normally emphasizes process and meaning rather than product and
content by combining contents, theories, methodologies, and
perspectives from two or more disciplines.
➢ Interdisciplinary requires a strong foundation of multidisciplinary
endeavor. One must be well grounded in multiple disciplines yet, as
Repko (2005) points out, interdisciplinarity is more than transferring
multidisciplinary challenges from two or more persons into one. It is a
relatively new form of problem-oriented critical thinking focusing
on process rather than domain.
Education This type of study allows the student to learn by making connections
between ideas and concepts across different disciplinary boundaries.
Students learning in this way are able to apply the knowledge gained
in one discipline to another different discipline as a way to deepen the

Health Care At their core, interdisciplinary care plans are detailed plans of care
created by representatives from several medical disciplines or
specialties, each focused on a specific patient’s condition, treatment
goals, and methods for improving outcomes. As part of the care
planning process, input from each provider must be taken into
consideration and weighed against the benefits and risks to the
patient.

INTRODUCTION
If you think about all of the knowledge and experiences that we gain over the course of
our lives, the amount that helped shape our worldview are probably too numerous to
count. For example, when we are young, our parents' perspectives directly inform our
own opinions on things like politics or religion, while later experiences, like romantic
relationships, shape our perception of love and the levels of emotional risk that we find
acceptable.
which are the individual, external, social constructions that influence our lives and
development, and are constantly evolving as we age. If this definition sounds vague or
confusing, it's probably because the category of social phenomena is incredibly broad
and complicated, but the fundamental principle of social phenomena is that it is created
by society, as opposed to something that occurs naturally in the world, like earthquakes,

Filipino Positivity This is one of the social Filipino phenomena that we are
widely known for. When disaster strikes, the Filipinos do
not lose their cool. They keep their happy-go-lucky
attitudes. With typhoons and floods and other natural
disasters coming our way, the Filipino people just deal
