ACTIVITY 3
One particular social issue that can be analyzed using two social science disciplines is income
inequality.
1. Sociology analysis: From a sociological perspective, income inequality can be studied in terms
of its impact on social stratification and social class. Sociologists would examine how income
inequality affects individuals and groups in terms of access to resources, opportunities, and
social mobility. They would explore the social structures and institutions that contribute to
income inequality, such as economic systems, labor markets, and government policies.
Additionally, sociologists may study the social consequences of income inequality, including
social unrest, crime rates, and health disparities.
By combining the sociological and economic perspectives, social scientists can gain a
comprehensive understanding of income inequality, examining both its structural and
individual-level causes, as well as its social and economic consequences. This interdisciplinary
approach allows for a more holistic analysis of the complex issue of income inequality.
