Social science perspective!...
The British Journal of Sociology, 2005
Should we be inspired by Michael Burawoy's vision of an integrated sociology to maintain sociology's renewed momentum? While we can value what sociologists, economists or philosophers do in their teaching and research, we can still believe universities would be better off if these disciplines disintegrated somewhat. So we might not wish to 'bind ourselves to the mast' of commitment to an integrated professional, public, policy and critical sociology with a 'common ethos' (Burawoy 2005: 14). That said, Burawoy makes a compelling case that these four types of sociology can learn much from one another and that scholars who are simultaneously public, policy or critical sociologists as they are professional sociologists make special contributions to that end.

In order to consider the potential relationships between community psychology and social policy it is necessary to consider the contradictory nature of social policy in the modern State. Following the tradition of critical social policy analysis established through the work of British writers on Critical Social Policy from the late 1970s onwards, social policies will be considered as a hybrid between the role of the State in the service of capital and the realisation of emancipatory struggles by a variety of subjects (workers, women, disabled people, ethnic minorities, and so on). Community psychology also reflects contradictions in the societies in which it is practised, with a similarly dual character both responding to emancipatory interests and at times transmitting the processes of control and recuperation by dominant social interests. Putting together these two critically constituted elements, 'social policy' and 'community psychology', implies a continual process of reflection where the interests of the disadvantaged are ('analectically') kept central. I will explore some opportunities and traps of the social policy process through the experience of leading a demonstration project that piloted changes in disability policy in the UK, and as an activist trying to influence city policies on climate change mitigation. The relative autonomy of system levels will be explored in relation to the scope for and limits to change. Some practical tools for maintaining an ethical clarity will be identified. Resumen: Al considerar las relaciones potenciales entre la psicología comunitaria y la política social, es necesario tener en cuenta la naturaleza contradictoria de la política social en el Estado moderno. Siguiendo la tradición del análisis de la política social en la obra de escritores británicos sobre la Política Social Crítica a partir de 1981, las políticas sociales se consideran como un híbrido entre el papel del Estado al servicio del capital y la realización de las luchas emancipatorias por parte de diversos sujetos (trabajadores, mujeres, personas con discapacidad, minorías étnicas, etc.). La psicología comunitaria también refleja las contradicciones de las sociedades donde se practica, teniendo un doble carácter similar, porque tanto responde a intereses emancipatorios, como en ocasiones transmite los procesos de control y recuperación por los intereses sociales dominantes. Unir estos dos elementos, la política social y la psicología comunitaria, ambos constituidos de manera crítica, implica un proceso constante de reflexión, donde los intereses de las personas afectadas son colocados 'analecticamente', en un lugar central. Voy a explorar algunas oportunidades y trampas del proceso de la política social a través del ejemplo de mi experiencia como líder de un proyecto piloto que puso a prueba cambios en la política de discapacidad en el Reino Unido, y como activista pretendiendo influir en la política de nuestra ciudad, en la mitigación del cambio climático. Se explora la autonomía relativa respecto del sistema, en torno a las oportunidades y límites para el cambio. Identificaré algunas herramientas prácticas para mantener la claridad ética."
That is my work for my assignment .

A competency-based, introductory social sciencecourse for.college students is described. Objectives of the manual are twofold first, to present the complete set of materials which have served asthe basis of a one semester social sciences course at the University of Louisville over three years, and, second, to'offe suggestions regarding objectives, research methods, evaluation, and teaching methods to college teachers as they develop and implement social ',science courses. Nineteen activities are described, incluiing defining social sciences, identifying major questions and research interests, learning basic descriptive; statistics, constructing and Administering-a survey, and evaluating a research experience. For each activity, a variety of materials is presented, including tests, objectives, student handouts, lesson plans, and evaluation criteria. Specific inquiry skills which the learning activities are intended to enhance include acquiring information (learning sources.for research in the field, learning vocabulary and key ideas, and learning principal investigators in each social science discipline), producing thematic organization and methods appropriate for research 4(articulating problem statements, practicing data Collection and analysis, and practicing theory development), and utilizing research findings in cultural projects and institutions. The document concludes with a bibliography, a student evaluation inventory, and a glossary of terms. (Dm,
This document explores the foundations and methods of social science, focusing on its importance in understanding human behavior and society. It begins with an introduction highlighting the events of September 11, 2001, as an example of a subject falling within the purview of social science. The paper discusses the distinctions between book smarts and street smarts and the significance of book smarts in education and critical thinking. It delves into various social science disciplines, including anthropology, sociology, geography, history, economics, political science, and psychology, highlighting their importance and interrelations. The document also discusses the evolving nature of social sciences and the challenges in defining them. The role of the scientific method and its application in social science research is explored, along with the need for skepticism and imagination in investigations. The interdisciplinary approach and the use of statistics in social science research are emphasized, as well as the importance of educated common sense in interpreting results. The document concludes by discussing the challenges in reaching policy agreements and drawing policy implications from social science research.
This introductory course takes an integrated and interdisciplinary approach to delve into prominent scholars, pivotal topics, overarching themes, and central agendas within the realm of social sciences. A particular emphasis is placed on the emergence, establishment, and institutionalization of modern social sciences. Moreover, the course scrutinizes significant transformations and paradigmatic shifts across all subfields of social sciences. This course has been designed for first-year undergraduate students enrolled in economics, management, political science, public administration, and international relations programs at IMU.
