What is Anthropology?
Anthropology is the study of what makes us human. Anthropologists take a broad approach to
understanding the many different aspects of the human experience, which we call holism. They consider
the past, through archaeology, to see how human groups lived hundreds or thousands of years ago and
what was important to them. They consider what makes up our biological bodies and genetics, as well as
our bones, diet, and health. Anthropologists also compare humans with other animals (most often, other
primates like monkeys and chimpanzees) to see what we have in common with them and what makes us
unique. Even though nearly all humans need the same things to survive, like food, water, and
companionship, the ways people meet these needs can be very different.
Cultural variation refers to the differences in social behaviors that different cultures exhibit around the
world. What may be considered good etiquette in one culture may be considered bad etiquette in another.
There are many differences between the various cultures across the planet. These differences include the
way people interact, what they wear and what they eat. Many cultural differences can be explained by the
environment and resources of the region.
Anthropology is the comprehensive study of human development, culture, and change throughout the
world, past and present. The comprehensiveness of anthropology stems from its emphasis on context,
reflected in the perspectives offered by the discipline’s four fields.
Fields of Anthropology
1. Biological Anthropology
Biological (or physical) anthropologists carry out systematic studies of the non-cultural aspects of humans
and near-humans.
2. Cultural Anthropology
Cultural (or socio-cultural) anthropologists are interested in learning about the cultural aspects of human
societies all over the world.
3. Linguistic Anthropology
Linguistic anthropologists study the human communication process.
4. Archaeology
Archaeologists are interested in recovering the prehistory and early history of societies and their cultures.
What is Sociology?
Sociology is the study of human social relationships and institutions. Sociology’s subject matter is
diverse, ranging from crime to religion, from the family to the state, from the divisions of race and social
class to the shared beliefs of a common culture, and from social stability to radical change in whole
societies.
The differences among the individuals on the basis of social characteristics and qualities are known as
social differences. Social differences are the complex differences and they include class, race, culture,
age, ability, sex etc. Social differences can create discrimination among the individuals on the basis of
their social characteristics. For example, if in a society, individuals with high status are given more
respect and importance as compare to the poor or homeless people then it is a social difference. Social
differences can create a lot of problems in a society because discrimination always result in inequality,
inferiority complex and other social problems
Political science is that branch of the social sciences that studies the state, politics, and government.
Political Science deals extensively with the analysis of political systems, the theoretical and practical
applications to politics, and the examination of political behavior. The Greek thinker, Aristotle, defined
political science as the study of the state.
