all right
[9]
we're all settled
[10]
yes
[11]
well good
[14]
welcome
[15]
we are the social science department now
[18]
i'll get right to it question on
[20]
everyone's mind just what the heck is
[23]
social science well let me try to
[26]
explain
[27]
social
[28]
as in society
[30]
as in human beings science as in the
[33]
facts the systematic study of a thing
[37]
the pursuit of its true nature
[40]
we seek to understand the nature of
[42]
people and society
[44]
what does it mean to be human what
[46]
defines a person is it history is it
[49]
ancestry
[51]
how has he worked struggled
[54]
thrived in his environment sorry in his
[58]
environment did he live on a mountain or
[61]
in the desert or near the sea in the
[63]
arctic
[65]
ancestry is important but location is
[68]
paramount
[70]
that's all very fascinating but i have a
[73]
question
[74]
what is this person like
[77]
is it a man or a woman
[79]
what's our race
[81]
what does he or she do
[83]
well profession relies greatly on
[85]
geography
[89]
the natural resources that exist here
[92]
proximity to natural resources is fine
[94]
but what about proximity to other people
[96]
the sociological element is undeniable
[100]
what happens when he feels the influence
[101]
of other human beings
[103]
then how will he behave
[106]
what will be expected of him
[108]
will he fulfill these expectations
[111]
now it's a collection of people it's a
[113]
town or a city it's a community hmm
[118]
community
[119]
but who's in charge
[139]
we need structure leaders
[144]
several leaders if we can oh that's
[147]
better
[148]
see
[149]
when we organize we give our man a voice
[151]
an identity within his society this is
[155]
where his ancestry and his geography and
[157]
his social interaction come together the
[160]
political realm ah but is the true
[163]
nature of man witnessed only in his
[166]
interaction with the world around him i
[169]
ask you where do his actions begin
[172]
with a thought and where do his thoughts
[175]
originate the brain madam the brain
[179]
good indoctrinant is it only his
[182]
experience in society that informs him
[185]
unshapes him
[187]
or or is he born this way every cell
[191]
when synapse forming just saw making him
[194]
the man he is
[196]
he is interacting sure buzzing around a
[199]
busy day in the height of society sure
[201]
but his inner being his motivations his
[205]
thoughts his feelings his hurt his joy
[209]
this will be largely unknown or less my
[212]
doctrine we study his psychology
[217]
well very intriguing dr psych thank you
[221]
so as you can see
[223]
we social scientists cover a wide range
[225]
of topics
[227]
but we all agree on one thing people and
[230]
the societies in which they live are a
[233]
fascinating study
[275]
