After having this review about Disciplines and Ideas in Social Science, it is time to learn about the ideas and
concepts about the Applied Social Sciences.

Social Sciences are disciplines concerned with the systematic study of social phenomena, basically, it is the study
of human society, that particularly relate to human behavior and society.

Applied Social Science is the application of social science theories, concepts, methods, and findings to problems
identified in the wider society (D. Jary & J. Jary).

Social Sciences are more specific and focused on a distinct facet of a special phenomenon while applied social
science attempts to focus on distinct issue but use insights arising from social science disciplines.

Functions and Effects of Applied Social Sciences

b. they caused social sciences to do things rather than just remain a source of factual knowledge with little or no
utility at all

c. they generate practical solutions to complex and social problems

d. the provision of knowledge by social science becomes the moral basis for applied science to address the issues
and problems of the society

e. Communication provide accessibility to information

f. Counseling provides healing, courage, and strength
