INTRODUCTION
MODULE 1 – UNDERSTANDING CULTURE, SOCIETY, AND POLITICS


Chapter 1.
Nature, goals and perspectives in/of
Anthropology, Sociology and Political science
Sociologists illuminate human behavior by looking for the links between

individual experience and the social context in which we live, work and play. A
sociological imagination questions the way things are, in order to think about the way
things could be.
Anthropologists study humans and cultural differences, in both the past and
present. To understand the full extent and complexities of cultures, and cultural
understandings across all of human history, anthropology draws and builds upon
knowledge from the social and biological sciences, the humanities and physical sciences.
Meanwhile, Political Science is concerned with group power and authority and
how it is shared with the people. Collective decision-making therefore leads us to
consider ethics of power, which in turn involves conceptions of community, identity,
justice, and citizenship.

DISCUSSION
LESSON 1
The Nature and Goals of Anthropology, Sociology and Political Science
(UCSP11/12SPUIb -5)
THE SCIENCE OF SOCIOLOGY
 Sociology – the science that deals with study of

society and social interactions within or outside
the society.
- The word “sociology” is derived from the
Latin word socius (companion) and the
Greek word logos (speech or reason), which
together mean “reasoned speech about
companionship”.
 It focuses attention on all kinds on social interaction involving social acts,
social relationships, social organizations, social structures, and social
processes.
 Origins of Sociology
 It immersed in France during the period of Enlightenment.
 French philosophers Henri de Saint-Simon and August Comte pioneered
writing and publishing their studies concerning methods and techniques of
the natural sciences that can be applied to address societal problems.
 August Comte – coined the term sociology to refer to this new discipline.
 Emile Durkheim – became the father of modern sociology because of his
immense contribution in the study regarding suicide, religion, division of
labor, and industrialization using a sociological inquiry.
THE SCIENCE OF ANTHROPOLGY
o Anthropology – scientific study of humanity. It

studies the biological, social, and cultural
development of humankind and seeks to answer the
similarities and differences across the human race.
- The word anthropology is derived from two
Greek words: anthropos meaning “man” or “human”
and logos, meaning “thought” or “reason.”


 Branches of Anthropology
1. PHYSICAL OR BIOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGY
- Physical or biological anthropology deals with the evolution of humans, their
variability, and adaptations to environmental stresses. Using an evolutionary
perspective, we examine not only the physical form of humans - the bones,
muscles, and organs - but also how it functions to allow survival and
reproduction
2. LINGUISTICS
- is the scientific study of language.
- It involves the analysis of language form, language meaning, and language in context.
3. ETHNOLOGY
- Ethnology is the comparative study of two or more cultures. Ethnology utilizes the
data taken from ethnographic research and applies it to a single cross cultural topic.
- The ethnographic approach can be used to identify and attempt to explain cross
cultural variation in cultural elements such as marriage, religion, subsistence practices,
political organization, and parenting, just to name a few. Ethnology often compares and
contrasts various cultures.
4. ARCHAEOLOGY
- It is the collection and preservation of artifacts of past and
present cultures.
- It is the study of human activity through the recovery and
analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists
of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts and cultural
landscapes.
5. Cultural Anthropology
- This area focuses on the origins and history of human societies
and culture such as the evolution of culture of different
societies.
- Based on the data gathered, cultural anthropologists explain the
similarities and differences and how these changes occur among
these people.


POLITICAL SCIENCE
- The word “politics” is derived from the Greek

word “Polis” which means “city”.
- The word “science” came from the Latin
word “scire” which means “to know”
-It is the systematic study of the state and
government.
- Although, Aristotle is considered the Father of political science, the work of
Plato entitled “The Republic” ushered political philosophy. Meanwhile, Niccolo
Machiaveli of Italy wrote “The Prince”, a handbookfor rulers in the art of
government.
- Political science focuses on the ‘HOW’ and ‘WHY’ of collective decision
making. Topics about democracy, war, law, rights, wealth, authority, and power
are discussed under political science.

LESSON 2
Perspectives of Anthropology, Sociology and Political Science
(UCSPC11DCS-Ic6)
At the end of the lesson, you are expected to:

⚫ Identify the perspectives of Anthropology, Sociology and Political Science;
⚫ Explain the different perspectives.
DISCUSSION
Anthropological perspectives
- Are culture, cultural relativism, fieldwork, human diversity,
holism,
Bio-cultural focus.
- The four main perspectives of Anthropology are:
1. The cross-cultural or comparative emphasis
2. Its evolutionary/historical emphasis
3. Its ecological emphasis
4. Its holistic emphasis (Dudgeon).
- An example for this is the analysis and solutions of the different
aspects of the society such as the environment issues of pollution,
the issues on health and medicine and other issues related to the
human activities.
Sociological perspective
- Introduces the discipline of sociology, including something about
its history, questions, theory, and scientific methods, and what
distinguishes it from other social science disciplines.
- Central features include social interaction and relationships,
social contexts, social structure, social change, the significance of
diversity and human variation, and the critical, questioning
character of sociology. It also explores what sociologists do.


 Sociology includes three major theoretical perspectives:

1. The functionalist perspective;
2. The conflict perspective;
3. The symbolic interaction perspective.
 Theoretical perspective is used to analyze and explain objects of social study, and
facilitate organizing sociological knowledge.
 Functionalist perspective, societies are thought to function like organisms, with
various social institutions working together like organs to maintain and reproduce
societies.
 Conflict perspective focuses on the negative, conflicted, and ever-changing nature
of society.
Political science perspective

- Studies the tendencies and actions of people which cannot be
easily quantified or examined.
- Political science is more focused than most social sciences. It
sticks to the political arena and to the realm of politics, either
dealing with situations with two competing sides or the lateral
decisions that affect the group as a whole. An example is the
study of democracy as a form of government and why is
democracy considered as the best form of government
