    Social science is the study of human groups and societies through scientific processes. It emerged from ancient Greek philosophers inquiring about ethics, human nature, and society. There are two main approaches in social science - positivism which uses quantitative methods and post-positivism which uses qualitative methods. Key research methods include surveys, interviews, and participant observation. Social science takes an interdisciplinary approach, sharing theories and methods across disciplines to understand human social phenomena.
