in all, “the study of humankind”’
which examines people in viewpoints going
from the science and transformtive history of
Homo sapiens to the provisions of society and
culture that unequivocally recognize people
from other creature species
Anthropology
as a
Discipline
Compared to other fields like history or
psychology, anthropology is broader in scope,
investigating both ancient and contemporary
aspects of human life. Anthropologists use
both scientific and humanistic methods to
gather and analyze data, studying everything
from genetic information to cultural artifacts
and expressions.
Anthropology
as a
Discipline
This methodology creates both quantitative
(numeric) information and subjective
(elucidating) information.

In the humanistic methodology,

anthropologists continue inductively, seeking
after an abstract strategy for understanding
humankind through investigations.

Anthropology is a global discipline

It began as an individual effort to
understand different societies'
.customs, with early professors being
naturalists, medical doctors,
ministers, or adventurers

 Perspective of
Anthropology
Anthropologists use unique
perspectives from related
disciplines like history, geography,
and sociology to explore past,
present, and future.
 Perspective of
Anthropology
Anthropologists use unique
perspectives from related
disciplines like history, geography,
and sociology to explore past,
present, and future.
These include holism, cultural
relativism, and comparison, with
logical and humanistic propensities
that sometimes clash.
 Holism
Anthropologist are keen all in all of
mankind, in how different parts of
life connect. One can’t completely
see the value in being human by
contemplating a solitary part of our
mind-blogging narratives, dialects,
bodies or social orders. By utilizing
a comprehensive methodology,
anthropologists request how
various angels from human
 Cultural
Relativism
The possibility that we should try to
comprehend someone else’s convictions
and practices according to the viewpoint
of their way of life as opposed to our own.
Anthropologists don’t pass judgement on
different societies depend on their
qualities nor do they see alternate
methods of getting things done as second
rate. All things being equal,
anthropologists try to comprehend
 Comparison
In cultural anthropology, we
compromise ideas, morals,
practices and systems within or
between cultures. We might
compare the roles of men and
women in different societies, or
contrast how different religious
groups conflict within a given
society.
 Fieldwork
In cultural anthropology, field work is
alluded to as ethnography, which is both
the interaction and aftereffect of social
anthropological examination. The Greek
expression “etho” alludes to individuals,
and “graphy” alludes to composing. The
ethnographic interaction includes the
exploration technique for member
perception hands on work: you partake in
individuals’ lives, while noticing them and
taking field takes note for that, alongside

Nature of Sociology

empirical discipline, analyzing societies
and social patterns like Physics or

Perspective of
Soiology
The sociological perspective
emphasizes that human behavior is
influenced by the social groups and
interactions we are a part of.
Society shapes who we are and
how we behave, as we live within a
specific culture.
Perspective of
Soiology
By viewing society as a social
construct that can be changed, we
gain a new understanding of our
surroundings. Sociology encourages
us to question what we consider
"normal" and explore unfamiliar
social environments with curiosity.
Perspective of
Soiology
Through studying sociology, we
learn to appreciate diverse
perspectives and gain insight into
our own selves. It allows us to see
the connection between personal
experiences and broader social
issues, enhancing our
understanding of society as a
whole.
