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.

Get the scientific gasblowing mug.Sariel is a girl who's quiet and seems innocent (but she really isn't). Once you get to know her, she will be really open and extroverted with you, but she might need some space at times. She is a girl who will always listen to your problems and help you when you're in need. Her shoulder will always be there for you to cry upon. She's a really sensitive girl and she takes the suffering of others to heart and has the tendency to feel their pain as her own. She hates seeing others suffer while being happy herself. She might seem quiet but there's a thousand thoughts growing through her head.
"Why's Sariel crying?"
"A character in her book died"
"What? Just because of that?"
"She was also crying about the holocaust yesterday*
