 Scientific Knowledge and Human Phenomena

In the definition given by the Political Science Association, political science is the study of
government, public politics, and political behavior, using both humanities and scientific
perspectives and skills to examine all countries and regions of the world. Individuals who live
in a society are one of the essential elements of political science since they are the ones who are
most influenced by it. The bulk of human phenomena are societal matters that either benefit or
bring more misery to people. For your consideration, photographs depicting how political
science impacts individuals are presented here.

Our society was already in chaos before the pandemic, and the Covid-19 virus
exacerbates the situation and significantly impacts the population. Unemployment, poverty,
corruption, and other issues are on the rise as unemployment, poverty, corruption, and further
problems increase. The pictures shown are some instances to which I can attest. Not only do
these current issues adapt the study of human behavior to assess political systems, but these also
takes elements from the sciences in terms of objectivity in scientific research and governmental
organization operation. In this documentation, the primary function of science is collecting and
analyzing data to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion to serve as a solution. Political problems will
be better understood empirically as a result of the scientific investigation.

The daily news will always be linked to politics, and it will have an impact on both
humanistic and scientific views, whether they like it or not. Political science study should be
objective, rational, and systematic, and it is better to expand human understanding in politics by
using a "scientific" approach.
