tools to get information, to measure, to
evaluate, even to control human behavior.
Social science as a whole has many branches. These
social sciences include, but are not limited to:
anthropology, archaeology, communication studies,
economics, history, musicology, human geography,
jurisprudence, linguistics, political science, psychology,
public health, and sociology.
Anthropology
-is the scientific study of humans and human behavior and
societies in the past and present.

Social anthropology and cultural anthropology study the

norms and values of societies.

Linguistic anthropology studies how language affects

social life.

Biological or physical anthropology studies the biological

development of humans.
Archeology

recovery and analysis of material culture. The
archaeological record consists of artifacts,
architecture, biofacts or ecofacts and cultural
landscapes. Archaeology can be considered both
a social science and a branch of the humanities.
Communication studies

research into music.
Human Geography
the branch of geography dealing with how human
activity affects or is influenced by the earth's surface.
Jurisprudence

critical analysis to develop a body of
knowledge about social order, acceptance, and
change or social evolution.
APPLIED SOCIAL SCIENCE
Applied social sciences are those social
science disciplines, professions and
occupations which seek to use basic social
science research and theory to improve the
daily life of communities, organizations and
persons.
Applied science is a discipline that used to apply 
existing scientific knowledge based on scientific 
researches and also to developing a practical 
application of science - such as technology,
methodology, inventions.
So basically, the main concern of applied science is about
scientific knowledge and how to practice it into the real
world. This can be a scientific and practical contribution to
people. Applied science's neccesity is triggered by research 
question which become the problem to be solved. It usually
produces practical steps, practical decisions,
as tools to answer the existing problem. It helps
stakeholders to develop the systems to be better. Applied
science related to economical aspects. A common question
in applied science is what's the short-term and long-tern
impact if the existing problem is not be solved? What is the
practical solutions for the problem so the negative impacts
won't be happened in future? The question like these
would be answered in applied science.
The similarities between Applied Science
and Social Science:

1.Based on scientific research

2.Have contribution to civilizations
3.Necessary to human life
4.Root of science
5.Been done with a scientific methodology
The differences between Applied Science and
Social Science:
Purpose
Applied science: solving problem
Social science: theory proven
Trigger
Applied science: problem to be solved or needs to be developed
Social science: curiosity
Object
Applied science: system
Social science: people
Methodology
Applied science: both quantitative and qualitative
Social science: qualitative
Output
Applied science: technology, invention
Social science: qualified hypothesis or behavioral theory
