What is It
In this part of your journey, we provide something for you to deepen your
understanding about culture.
A lot of us are likely confused with the difference between sociology and
anthropology. Confusion might come from their commonalities as the two are
dealing with society and culture. Both of them study human behavior and the
different factors that affects our social relations. Since these two fields are most
likely similar to each other, let us first draw out its differences
To find out the difference between anthropology and sociology, let us study
the similar and various concepts between each field below:

After finding out the difference between anthropology and sociology, let us
now proceed with another discipline in social science that plays another important
role in our life.
Politics impacts our lives directly or indirectly, whether we are aware of its
effects or not. If there is a crime that took place, we call a police, and this scheme is
part of government. If there was a fire that occured, we call the fire department,
and that’s also a part of government. Military is government as well, let alone our
civil liberty and our rights which have influences on us daily. In school, you were
asked to read by heart the Constitution. When you are apprehended by an
authority, you asked your violation and insisted on your legal rights. Even inside
your house, there are still set of rules that are being enforced and followed. All
these things are related to a field called Political Science.
Description/Explanation

Greeks.

animal. It means that it is our nature to live in a society
and to have power over another.
Concepts - Political Science is the systematic study of government,
politics, and political power.
- It is often defined as who gets what, when, where and how.
Subjects of - political theory, philosopy and different political ideologies
Inquiry - public management

people.

Activity 2
Archaeology is a branch of anthropology that studies the culture of dead
people. Archaeologists rely on the pieces of evidence that they exhumed from
discovered old cities and civilizations. We learn many things about our past based
on their findings.
Today, people can store information digitally and put it in formats that can
last for a long period. In relation, let us do an activity by describing yourself to the
future generation through clues about you and the present society where you live.
10
As a student of this generation, you are tasked to make a historical footprint
of your contemporary society so that people of future generations will understand
how people of today lived, and what their personality, values, set of beliefs, and
ideas were. You have to provide them with one written evidence that describes your
society and two objects with explanation that represent your present society.
Drawing or picture of two objects that represent your society with explanation
