Humanities Definition:
The humanities are the stories, the ideas, and the words that help us make sense of our lives and
our world. The humanities introduce us to people we have never met, places we have never
visited, and ideas that may have never crossed our minds. By showing how others have lived and
thought about life, the humanities help us decide what is important in our own lives and what we
can do to make them better. By connecting us with other people, they point the way to answers
about what is right or wrong, or what is true to our heritage and our history. The humanities help
us address the challenges we face together in our families, our communities, and as a nation.
The humanities should not be confused with "humanism," a specific philosophical belief, nor
with "humanitarianism," the concern for charitable works and social reform.

Social Sciences Definition:
any discipline or branch of science that deals with human behaviour in its social and cultural
aspects. The social sciences include cultural (or social) anthropology, sociology, social
psychology, political science, and economics. Also frequently included are social and
economic geography and those areas of education that deal with the
social contexts of learning and the relation of the school to the social order (see also educational
psychology). Historiography is regarded by many as a social science, and certain areas of
historical study are almost indistinguishable from work done in the social sciences. Most
historians, however, consider history as one of the humanities. It is generally best, in any case, to
consider history as marginal to the humanities and social sciences, since its insights and
techniques pervade both. The study of comparative law may also be regarded as a part of the
social sciences, although it is ordinarily pursued in schools of law rather than in departments or
schools containing most of the other social sciences.
Beginning in the 1950s, the term behavioral sciences was often applied to
the disciplines designated as the social sciences. Those who favoured this term did so in part
because these disciplines were thus brought closer to some of the sciences, such as physical
anthropology and physiological psychology, which also deal with human behaviour.
Although, strictly speaking, the social sciences do not precede the 19th century—that is, as
distinct and recognized disciplines of thought—one must go back farther in time for the origins
of some of their fundamental ideas and objectives. In the largest sense, the origins go all the way
back to the ancient Greeks and their rationalist inquiries into human nature, the state,
and morality. The heritage of both Greece and Rome is a powerful one in the history of social
thought, as it is in other areas of Western society. Very probably, apart from the initial Greek
determination to study all things in the spirit of dispassionate and rational inquiry, there would be
no social sciences today. True, there have been long periods of time, as during the
Western Middle Ages, when the Greek rationalist temper was lacking. But the recovery of this
temper, through texts of the great classical philosophers, is the very essence of
the Renaissance and the Enlightenment in modern European history. With the Enlightenment, in
the 17th and 18th centuries, one may begin.

Natural Science:
is a branch of science concerned with the description, prediction, and understanding of natural
phenomena, based on empirical evidence from observation and experimentation. Mechanisms
such as peer review and repeatability of findings are used to try to ensure the validity of
scientific advances.
Natural science can be divided into two main branches: life science (or biological science)
and physical science. Physical science is subdivided into branches,
including physics, chemistry, astronomy and earth science. These branches of natural science
may be further divided into more specialized branches (also known as fields).
In Western society's analytic tradition, the empirical sciences and especially natural sciences use
tools from formal sciences, such as mathematics and logic, converting information about nature
into measurements which can be explained as clear statements of the "laws of nature". The social
sciences also use such methods, but rely more on qualitative research, so that they are sometimes
called "soft science", whereas natural sciences, insofar as they emphasize quantifiable data
produced, tested, and confirmed through the scientific method, are sometimes called "hard
science".
Modern natural science succeeded more classical approaches to natural philosophy, usually
traced to ancient Greece. Galileo, Descartes, Bacon, and Newton debated the benefits of using
approaches which were more mathematical and more experimental in a methodical way. Still,
philosophical perspectives, conjectures, and presuppositions, often overlooked, remain necessary
in natural science. Systematic data collection, including discovery science, succeeded natural
history, which emerged in the 16th century by describing and classifying plants, animals,
minerals, and so on. Today, "natural history" suggests observational descriptions aimed at
popular audiences.
