 Pandemic Alert!!!

According to Barter et al. (2020), sociology and anthropology involve the

systematic study of social life and culture in order to understand the causes and
consequences of human action. Sociologists and anthropologists study the
structure and processes of traditional cultures and modern, industrial societies in
both Western and non-Western cultures. They examine how culture, social
structures (groups, organizations and communities) and social institutions
(family, education, religion, etc.) affect human attitudes, actions and life-chances.
To provide students with communicative and interpretative skills that will
allow them to understand the meaning and consequences of human actions and
relationships in society. Students will learn to use theoretical and methodological
tools to analyze culture, human behavior, and social institutions and to
understand the relationship between individual biographies and the functioning
of institutions (Barter et al. 2020)

Changes in the learning modalities due to pandemic…

According to DepEd, Due to the pandemic, utilizes different learning
modalities for SY 2020-2021 to be offered for various types of learners across the
Philippines.

What is It

Nature and Scope of Anthropology, Sociology, and Political Science

According to Banks et al. (2016), the study of human’s past and present is
Anthropology. Anthropology’s goal is to describe and explain human variation or the
observed similarities and differences in people through time and across space.
Anthropology draws and builds upon knowledge from the social and biological
sciences as well as the humanities and physical sciences to understand the full
sweep and complexity of cultures across all of human history.

As a social science, Sociology deals with the study of society and social
interactions taking place. It also deals with the origin, evolution, and development
of human society. It is focused on all kinds of social interactions, social
relationships, and social organization, structure and process.

Political science is a social science discipline that deals with the study of the
state and government. It is concerned about politics and policies of the government.
Aristotle, in his Politics, defined political science as the study of the state. It deals
comprehensively with the theory and practice of politics. It also focuses on the
analysis of political systems, political behavior, and political culture. (Banks et al.
2016)

 According to Banks et al. (2016), there are five major branches of
anthropology as shown in the table below.

Goals of Anthropology, Sociology, and Political Science

Anthropology

According to Parena (2017), all individuals have in common by considering

commonalities (folklores, conventions, dialect, etc.) in all humankind, we seem get
it more almost the human’s nature. Create modern information and modern
hypotheses approximately mankind and human behavior. This modern information
is at that point connected in an endeavor to lighten human challenges.

Determine what makes people different from one another in order to

understand and preserve diversity. Anthropology attempts to answer questions like,
“What does it mean to be a Filipino and a citizen of the world?” It is not enough
that anthropologists find out the characteristics that make Filipinos unique, it is
also important to emphasize the Filipino traits that makes them “one” with the rest
of the world. (Parena 2017)

According to Parena (2017), at one’s own culture more objectively like an

outsider. It aims to make “the strange familiar and the familiar strange.”
Anthropology also challenges individuals to evaluate and criticize their own culture.
This is important so that people will be aware of the faults in their own culture and
make necessary changes for its betterment.

Sociology

According to Saou (2017), sociology is the science that deals with the study
of the manifestations, systems and social relations, a careful analytical and
descriptive study through the pursuit of different research methods, in order to
reach the rules and laws governing the conduct of these phenomena and social
relations.

This science also means understanding the nature of various social realities
so that this society can draw up strategic plans, set goals and programs that will
work to increase progress and raise society. (Saou 2017).

Political Science

The political science major aims to create educated citizens capable of

organizing information, thinking critically and communicating effectively. A solid
foundational understanding of the critical theoretical issues underlying political
life: the individual and community; political obligation; stability, revolution, and
change; legitimacy and justice; and freedom and power. This is the focus of nature
of politics. (Field & Bathory 2015)

Perspective of Anthropology, Sociology, and Political Science

Anthropology

According to Aguilar, M. V. G., et al. (2016), anthropology is derived from two

Greek words Anthropos and logos, which intensively studies humans and the
respective cultures where they are born and actively belong to. The father of
American anthropology, Franz Boaz, who initially obtained a college degree in
physics, strongly believed that the same method and strategy could be applied in
measuring culture and human behavior while conducting research among humans
including the uniqueness of their behavior.

Two early American anthropologist Alfred Kroeber and William Henry Morgan,
became prominent in the field since their specialization included the championing of
indigenous rights like traditional cultural preservation and ancestral domain of the
American Indian tribes they intensively studied.

Sociology

According to Aguilar, M. V. G., et. al. (2016) Studying sociology is practical

and useful. As social beings, we gain understanding of how the social world
operates and of our place in it. C. Wright Mills (1959) calls it the sociological
imagination which he defined as “the vivid awareness between private experiences
and the wider society.”

Sociology’s point of view is distinct from other sciences. Peter Berger explains
that the perspective of sociology enables us to see “general patterns in particular
events” Macionis (2010). This means finding general patterns in particular events.

W.I. Thomas, an American sociologist, formulated a theorem in 1928 which

states: “if people define situations as real, they are real in their consequences.”
Hence, if cult members consider their leader powerful, then he can perform magic.

Political Science

According to Miller (2017), The modern word ‘political’ derives from the
Greek politikos, ‘of, or pertaining to, the ‘polis’. (The Greek term polis will be
translated here as ‘city-state’. It is also translated as ‘city’ or ‘polis’, or simply
anglicized as ‘polis’. City-states like Athens and Sparta were relatively small and
cohesive units, in which political, religious, and cultural concerns were intertwined.
The extent of their similarity to modern nation-states is controversial.)

In the Nicomachean Ethics Aristotle describes his subject matter as ‘political

science’, which he characterizes as the most authoritative science. It prescribes
which sciences are to be studied in the city-state, and the others such as military
science, household management, and rhetoric fall under its authority. Since it
governs the other practical sciences, their ends serve as means to its end,

10
which is nothing less than the human good. “Even if the end is the same for an
individual and for a city-state, that of the city-state seems at any rate greater and
more complete to attain and preserve. For although it is worthy to attain it for only
an individual, it is nobler and more divine to do so for a nation or city-state”.
Aristotle's political science thus encompasses the two fields which modern
philosophers distinguish as ethics and political philosophy. Political philosophy in
the narrow sense is roughly speaking the subject of his treatise called the Politics.
(Miller 2017)
