Distinguish between science and social sciences.


Science means systematic knowledge of the physical world acquired through the processing of observation and experiments. Scientific knowledge is based on verifiable facts using certain methods that may be checked by anyone and may be made use of anywhere.
Social sciences deal with different aspects of human society and interpersonal relationships among people in society. However there have been long arguments on differences between science and social sciences. Few different are like as follows-
The differences between science and social sciences are related to their subjects and basic approach. While the subject of science is various aspect of physical and material world, in social sciences, we study different aspects of human society and inter-personal relationship in society. As human societies are not the same in different parts of world, and they may change with time, the approach in sciences is to find the common trends and after close study of social facts to draw generalizations. Hence the conclusion and theories of social sciences change with the change in social condition, while the scientific facts are universal in nature.
