Get the Scoobie Science mug.The social sciences are the fields of academic scholarship which explore aspects of human society. Social sciences may draw upon empirical methods and attempt to emulate the standards of conventional scientific practice. By contrast, other social scientists employ critical analysis or hermeneutic methods to study objects of enquiry they regard as inconsistent with the scientific approach.
Social science is commonly used as an umbrella term to refer to a plurality of fields outside of the physical sciences and the arts. These include: anthropology, archaeology, communication studies, cultural studies, demography, economics, history, human geography, international development, international relations, linguistics, media studies, philology, political science, social psychology, and social work.

Weber's most famous work reg., social science is his essay in economic sociology, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, which also began his work in the sociology of religion. In this text, Weber argued that religion was one of the non-exclusive reasons for the different ways the cultures of the Occident and the Orient have developed, and stressed that particular characteristics of ascetic Protestantism influenced the development of capitalism, bureaucracy and the rational-legal state in the West. The essay examines the effects Protestantism had upon the beginnings of capitalism, arguing that capitalism is not purely materialist in Karl Marx's sense, but rather originates in religious ideals and ideas which cannot be solely explained by ownership relations, technology and advances in learning alone.

Also you try to learn something useful but your teacher leaves half-way through the semester, so your old Computer Programming teach with zero experience takes over and helps in no way possible. You try your best to pass but no matter what, you're going to fail.
Jacob: You do the AP Computer Science homework?

Nick: Why even do it? No one is passing with this goof teaching the class.

Get the primitive-science mug.The "fight club" started by Bronx Science students, presumably for fun, that got stupidly busted. Parents freaked out and acted like the school had a massive gang presence or crime scene, when in reality, it was a bunch of kids who didn't even fight but just pushed each other, threw a couple punches (that didn't even really do much damage), and tackled each other (a bit). It in no way was like the movie, Fight Club, that gave the group its name. Despite the school taking responsibility for the persecution of the club (and later the NYPD), the fights took place on PUBLIC PROPERTY, meaning the school didn't have the full obligation to follow through on the club. It was discovered via posts onto social media of fights, which, as anyone who watched the movie knows, breaks the most important rule of fight club: YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT FIGHT CLUB. Later on, there were requests for such media for evidence, AND IT WAS SENT. This kind of egotistical stupidity due to insecurities about one's own "bravado" epitomizes white, urban, male culture (not necessarily suggesting all the members of the club were white).
Point is, if you're gonna do something like this, at least be real about it.

"Hey, did ya hear about the Bronx Science Fight Club? I heard a kid got arrested, and they weren't even fighting!"
"Yeah man, schools, the government, and parents are way too neurotic, nowadays; the kids were being dumb about it, though, so I'm not really sympathizing."
