1. Anthropology relates to sociology, it always describes human, human
behaviour and human societies around the world. It is a comparative
science that examines all societies. The term anthropology means
scientific study of man or human beings. Cultural anthropology studies,
human societies and elements of cultural life. An example of cultural
anthropology is the Linguistic anthropology which focuses on language
in a certain society. The goal of studying anthropology is to understand
the origin human evolution and the diverse forms of its existence
throughout time The study of Man and its various aspects is known as
Anthropology. It may be a subject of science and arts. It is a branch of
sociology. It describes human, human behaviour and human societies
and it examines all societies around the world. It also describes the
ancestors through time and space in relation to its environmental, social
relations, and culture
2. Sociology is the study of human social relationships and institutions.
Sociology’s subject matter is diverse, ranging from crime to religion,
from the family to the state, from the divisions of race and social class
to the shared beliefs of a common culture, and from social stability to
radical change in whole societies. The purpose of sociology is to
understand how human action and consciousness both shape and are
shaped by surrounding cultural and social structures. Sociology is a
social science; it belongs to the family of social sciences. As a social
science, focuses its aspects on man, his social manners, social activities
and social life. The goal of sociology is to help you understand how
human action and consciousness both shape and are shaped by the
surrounding cultural and social structures

3. Political Science is a social science that deals with humans and their
interactions. It is a branch of sociology; it essentially deals with the
large-scale actions of humans, and group mentality it is a discipline that
deals with several aspects such as the study of Discover government. It
deals with the nature and formation of the state and attempts to
understand its forms and functions. The goal of Political Science is to
constantly deepen the knowledge, discover progress and protect the
quality of life within a group, community, country, and the world. Thus,
it is the study of power relationships and competing interests among
states around the world.

4. Anthropological perspectives are culture, cultural relativism,


fieldwork, human diversity, holism, bio-cultural focus. The four main
perspectives of Anthropology are the cross-cultural or comparative
emphasis, its evolutionary/historical emphasis, its ecological emphasis,
and its holistic emphasis . 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.
5. 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; and
3. the symbolic interaction perspective.
Theoretical perspective is used to analyse and explain objects of social
study, and facilitat organizing sociological knowledge. In functionalist
perspective, societies are thought to function like organisms, with
various social institutions working together like organs to maintain and
reproduce societies. The conflict perspective sees social life as a
competition, and focuses on the distribution of resources, power, and
inequality. 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.
