They teach a lot at school various items different directions. Not only those items that are related to exact sciences, and also those related to society. Among these subjects is social studies. What is this item? Social science how the subject teaches the basics of life, explains the development of society, as well as the role of man and his actions in society. This subject contains a knowledge base from other sciences, such as philosophy, political science, sociology, ethics, etc. Thus, this subject allows you to master the basics of these sciences.
By studying this subject, schoolchildren can learn basic information about society, people, economics, culture, spiritual life, etc. Some people think it doesn't have special significance, but in fact it all depends on how a person looks at the world, and this is where social studies helps. Any achievements of a person depend on what role he finds for himself in this world, and first you need to get acquainted with the world itself and find harmony with it. To find harmony with the world you need to find your place in this world.
Functions of social studies :
- Educational– forms general knowledge about man and society.
- Cognitive– allows you to understand and know everything that concerns society.
- Practical– allows you to fit in and exist in society.
- Methodological– allows you to become familiar with the methods and methods of studying social phenomena.
It turns out that this subject will not teach you any profession, but will help you develop as a person. The human factor has always had a special influence on society, since it intervenes in all spheres of society: economics, politics, culture, etc. Man rules everything, so it is necessary to understand the actions of people, and know how to act in certain situation depending on the actions of others.
The decisions and actions of people, as well as the reasons that served these actions, are explained by social studies and what this subject can teach. They also say that school doesn’t teach you how to live. They teach, and an example of this is the subject of social studies at school, the main thing is to find the strength to teach, and also to understand why it is needed. First you need to become a person, develop as a person, and then achieve something. Social studies will help with this. The subject is not very simple, even if it seems so at first glance, and in fact there is a lot to learn and understand, and social studies and history tutors will help with this.

And many other sciences that study human life and society. Therefore, strictly speaking, social studies is an academic discipline, the main task of which is to acquaint the reader with the basics public life. The above-mentioned sciences are the sources from which it draws its material. But social science is a science in the sense that the knowledge it provides is obtained, systematized and proven using special methods used only by science. Therefore, further, when speaking about social science, we will use the term “science”.
So what is she studying? To answer this question, let us introduce a division into an object and a subject of study. The object of research will be a part of reality, identified according to the goals of a particular science. So, the object of study natural sciences is nature. The object of study of social science is society as a whole. What does this mean?
Society is studied a lot different sciences Keywords: political science, sociology, history, jurisprudence. They are also called social or human sciences in contrast to natural sciences. But they explore certain areas of social life, for example, economic or spiritual life. Social science is interested in all the most important aspects of social life. It is also important for him how people enter into relationships with nature, and how they connect with each other, how they know, experience, act, etc. Therefore, to embrace society as a whole means to consider the economic life of society, social relationships, relationships of power and control, spiritual life, as well as the relationships between them.
So, by introducing such a concept as “object of study,” we separated, on the one hand, the sphere of interests of social science from the sphere of interests of the natural sciences, and, on the other hand, drew a boundary between social science and other humanities disciplines.
You already have experience in studying the humanities and therefore have the right to say that you know at least one discipline that also studies not nature, but society, and does not study individual parts of society. and society as a whole. This is history. This is why the division into subject and object can be useful to us. After all, several sciences can study the same object. But each science, according to its interests, highlights in it those aspects that it considers essential. The set of essential properties, identified according to the goals of a particular science, is usually called the subject of study.
It is possible to establish what is the subject of social science through comparison with the science of history. Let's remember what she is studying. Usually historians are engaged in the study of the area that is called the word “past”. In addition, it is not difficult to notice that those aspects of social life that historians study are always tied to a specific place and time. So they are not interested in spiritual life in general, but in the spiritual life of the Greek polis or the Roman Empire, if they consider the economy, then this is the economy of the ancient Slavs or Germans, etc. And if we dig even deeper, we will notice that the connection between the interests of historians and place and time is even closer, because an important aspect of their research is the study of events and connections between these individual events.
Now we have come closer to identifying the subject of the discipline called “social studies”. If its object is society as a whole, and not its individual parts, then its subject is the general properties of social life, preserved in space and the flow of time among diverse human associations. Figuratively speaking, historians study differences in society, and social scientists study similarities.
Science has long established the designation of such general properties or connections between properties. They are otherwise called “laws.” IN in this case these will be the laws of social life or social laws. What are laws? Laws will be called universal and necessary properties or connections between the properties of any objects. Now we can clarify our idea of the subject of social science. It is a discipline that seeks to gain knowledge about the laws of social life.
One should not think that the same laws will immediately apply in all societies, i.e. everywhere at the same time there will be slavery or feudalism. Laws will only apply if the appropriate conditions exist. For example, if life in society has become more complicated, if relations of inequality have begun to develop between people, then the conditions for the emergence of a state are present. And since we are talking about general properties, we can say that similar processes will occur in any society, in any place and at any time, if certain conditions arise. (For the sake of rigor, we add that all other things being equal). This reasoning allows us to understand why social world so diverse and why it is still possible to identify typical features in it. IN different societies different laws apply because they evolve different conditions. On the other hand, similar conditions lead to similar consequences, albeit at different times.
You can ask another question: why is social science better than history? A historian studies the life of a specific state, and the society of the state in general. But only concrete things exist. The state did not exist at all. It's right. However, we must remember: in order to recognize the features of Kievan Rus or the barbarian states in Western Europe, you must first have an idea of what a state is and how it differs from other forms of exercise of power and control. This is how science studying things that, at first glance, are very abstract, can help a scientist who studies concrete things.
Now let’s try to define in more detail what the laws of social life are. Three types of laws can be distinguished: structure, functioning and change (development). What is a structure? This specific set elements and relationships between them. And changes in the economy, we can find them in the features of spiritual life. We know that one of key concepts economics - the concept of “labor productivity”, i.e. the amount of goods produced per unit of time. The modern economy strives to increase labor productivity.
However, when we take a closer look at the life of rural communities in ancient times, we will not find a desire to increase labor productivity. The reasons for this phenomenon should be established. And we will have to look for them in the psychology of the peasants, their relationships with other groups of society, the peculiarities of spiritual life, etc., i.e. outside the economy itself. And finally, not all components of society interest us. Therefore, the laws of structure are such elements and connections between elements that are necessary for the existence of society.
The next type of laws are laws of functioning. Functioning can be understood as the performance of repeated (reversible) actions, thanks to which the existence, stability, sustainability of any element of social life or society as a whole is ensured. So the function of the state can be called the regulation of relationships between various social groups. While the state performs this function, it guarantees both the stability of society and its own stability.
The third type of laws are laws of change. Changes will be understood as irreversible actions, as a result of which any element of social life or society as a whole acquires properties that it did not previously possess. Then common reasons the emergence of a state in any society can be considered a typical case of the laws of change or development. With the formation of a state, society naturally acquires features that it did not previously possess.
Let us summarize our reasoning. The object of study for us was society as a whole. The subject is the general features of social life. We called these features laws. We have grouped all the laws that describe the social world into the laws of structure, functioning and change. Thus, we have received a definition of the subject of social science, which we will continue to be guided by. Social science is a discipline, the object of study of which is society as a whole, and the subject of study is the laws of structure, functioning and changes in social life.
Material from Wikipedia - free encyclopedia
Social studies- a set of disciplines, the object of study of which is different sides life of society. As an academic subject, it includes the fundamentals of social sciences (philosophy, sociology, social psychology, law, economics, political science, etc.) and focuses on the special knowledge necessary to effectively solve the most typical problems in the social, economic, political, spiritual spheres of life . A characteristic feature of the social studies course is that social sciences are not considered in it isolated form, but as closely related disciplines that make up a single whole. We can say that if each individual science offers its own fragment of knowledge about society and man and its own point of view on it, then social science allows us to put together a holistic and comprehensive picture of the social world from these fragments and positions.
Social studies as a subject in secondary school
Social science- a generalized school subject in the Russian Federation secondary school, touching on a variety of social topics. In fact, its teaching is a replacement for the canceled subject “social studies” in the USSR (largely built on Marxist-Leninist philosophy with ideological and patriotic education). The essence of the subject is to teach the fundamentals of social sciences.
Includes, in addition to the basics of social sciences (see below), an “introduction” to law (rather not in a scientific, but in an applied sense; a full-fledged separation of the school subject of civics and the section of law in a social studies course has not yet occurred), the beginnings of psychology and general reasoning about “spirituality” (which are outside the scope of positive science).
Social science as a complex of sciences
Social science- a general name for sciences that study society as a whole and social processes. The term is used to distinguish in the humanities disciplines that study society from disciplines that study man (usually outside society - for example, psychology).
At a minimum, the term “social science” includes: economics, sociology, cultural studies, political science, and jurisprudence.

An excerpt characterizing Social Studies
While Prince Andrei went to report on the crimson general, this general, apparently not sharing Boris’s concepts of the benefits of unwritten subordination, fixed his eyes so much on the impudent ensign who prevented him from talking with the adjutant that Boris felt embarrassed. He turned away and waited impatiently for Prince Andrei to return from the commander-in-chief's office.“That’s what, my dear, I was thinking about you,” said Prince Andrey as they walked into the large hall with the clavichord. “There’s no need for you to go to the commander-in-chief,” said Prince Andrei, “he will say a lot of pleasantries to you, tell you to come to him for dinner (“that wouldn’t be so bad for the service in that chain of command,” thought Boris), but from that further nothing will come of it; us, adjutants and orderlies, will soon be a battalion. But here's what we'll do: I have a good friend, adjutant general and wonderful person, Prince Dolgorukov; and although you may not know this, the fact is that now Kutuzov with his headquarters and all of us mean absolutely nothing: everything is now concentrated with the sovereign; so let’s go to Dolgorukov, I need to go to him, I already told him about you; so we'll see; Will he find it possible to place you with him, or somewhere else, closer to the sun.
Prince Andrei always became especially animated when he had to lead young man and help him in secular success. Under the pretext of this help to another, which he would never accept for himself out of pride, he was close to the environment that gave success and which attracted him to itself. He very willingly took on Boris and went with him to Prince Dolgorukov.
It was already late in the evening when they entered the Olmut Palace, occupied by the emperors and their entourage.
On this very day there was a military council, which was attended by all members of the Gofkriegsrat and both emperors. At the council, contrary to the opinions of the old men - Kutuzov and Prince Schwarzernberg, it was decided to immediately attack and give a general battle to Bonaparte. The military council had just ended when Prince Andrei, accompanied by Boris, came to the palace to look for Prince Dolgorukov. All the people in the main apartment were still under the spell of today’s military council, victorious for the young party. The voices of the procrastinators, who advised to wait for something without advancing, were so unanimously drowned out and their arguments were refuted by undoubted evidence of the benefits of the offensive, that what was discussed in the council, the future battle and, without a doubt, victory, seemed no longer the future, but the past. All the benefits were on our side. Enormous forces, undoubtedly superior to those of Napoleon, were concentrated in one place; the troops were inspired by the presence of the emperors and were eager to get into action; the strategic point at which it was necessary to operate was known to the smallest detail by the Austrian General Weyrother, who led the troops (as if a happy accident had caused Austrian troops last year we were at maneuvers precisely on those fields on which we now had to fight the Frenchman); the surrounding area was known to the smallest detail and depicted on maps, and Bonaparte, apparently weakened, did nothing.
Social science is a science that studies society and the processes occurring in it. In its arsenal, social science has many tools related to different branches of knowledge. Everything that concerns interaction in society, trends in the development of the human collective, is the object of study of this academic discipline.
The place of social science in the system of sciences
“Social science is a science that studies society” - this is precisely the definition that was formed in the philistine consciousness, and it is partly true, but still does not fully reflect the essence of this scientific discipline. To understand what this branch of knowledge is, let’s first talk about science in general. So, science as a term denotes a system of studying the world around us.
Branches of knowledge from the point of view of the object under study can be divided into several groups:
- Fundamental. Sciences, which are a help and a tool, the basis for all others. This group includes not only the sciences themselves, such as mathematics, but also those branches that form the basis - for example, nuclear chemistry.
- Technical. Disciplines that study the technosphere, as well as auxiliary ones for this. This group includes architecture, cybernetics, computer science, systems engineering, mechanics, and so on.
- Humanities. Sciences that study human activity in certain areas. Literary criticism, art criticism, psychology.
- Applied. Those disciplines that may have direct practical use In human life.
- Public. Layer of sciences that engage in research social processes. This group includes sciences that study man - social science, sociology, as well as disciplines that study the activities of communities of people: history, political science, economics, jurisprudence.
Related Sciences
So, having studied the classification of sciences in general, we come to the question of what sciences study social science. To begin with, it should be noted that humanities, which are often identified with public ones, are not necessarily so. So, they explore creativity or activity individuals without their direct connection with society.
The group of social sciences is focused specifically on human activity in the context of his interaction with other people. Below are the sciences that study social studies. The table contains a list of disciplines and a description of research objects.
Name of discipline | Object of study |
Economy | Economic activity of society, laws of production, distribution, consumption, exchange |
Sociology | Patterns of functioning of society, relationships and communities of people, social institutions |
Cultural studies | Achievements of humanity in art and spiritual life |
Political science | Political organization and social life |
Life and activities of society in the past |
Thus, by studying the table, you can understand what sciences study social science. In addition to the above, some experts also include psychology, anthropology, philosophy and pedagogy in this group.
Dwelling on every aspect human activity and after analyzing the overall picture, we can conclude that this scientific discipline is fundamental and necessary.
Economics as a science related to social science
When describing the sciences that help to study social science, the first step is to dwell on a discipline that has enormous applied significance, and in the modern world is one of the fundamental ones. This is economics. How does she collaborate with others? social sciences, we will consider further.
As already mentioned, social science is a science that studies society. A fundamental component of the life of society is economic activity, without which there would simply be no need to think about other types of activities. Production, distribution, exchange - all these stages imply both a directly economic component and human factor. And it is at the junction of these two interconnected components relationships in society and there is a need for a comprehensive study of them. In such cases we're talking about about the emergence of economics in the arsenal of social sciences, and the discipline acts as a research tool.
Sociology is a central element of social science
Sociology occupies almost central place in the totality of sciences about the human collective. The discipline examines in detail the structure of society, the characteristics of relationships between people, and trends in society.
Combining the qualities of fundamental and applied science, sociology, on the one hand, studies social phenomena, and on the other hand, can predict them and thus influence them.
The scientific discipline has several difficult dilemmas associated with the heterogeneity of approaches of scientists to certain issues. For example, the attitude of scientists from different schools sociology to the question of the initial environment of society: whether it is initially conflicting or favorable. It is in solving this issue that others help social disciplines. Social science is a science that studies the possibility of applying applied knowledge from one branch of knowledge to another.
Cultural studies
From the time when the first people began to unite into tribes and live in communities, they began to engage in the first creativity.
