I'm happy I reminded you of a quote I found interesting with regard to your subject. Fact is I'm interested in subjects like science, however my knowldge is not deep and I ask you then is psychology a part of the sciences?
I would like to be able to understand for instance,the human relationships of living within a family of ten people, and what negative or positive positions each member experiences. How does one research that sort of information? Thanks Naut,

I enjoy all the social sciences except for maybe political science. But I think sociology
and geography interest me most. I hope you do posts in the future that focus
specifically on the social sciences.

Most interesting and I certainly picked up my eyes (well I cannot pick up my ears since we aren't in the lecture hall...But I digress i have been feeling the we instead of the I ever since I have been living here in Canada and I am not talking culture but Genetics;DNA. I see peoplethat I know walking the streets of cities and towns. Culturally they have diversified or Australians have diversified but features. The way some one's hair is receding, the styles prefered, the way some one walks, talks, gestures laughs.On and on I know these people yet I don't. I am sure that bones would explain exactly which part of Europe Ireland the UK that their ancestors took different paths across the world. And the History of humans which the scientists can now help us to understand has always been one of my passions.
Thanks for the science mate.

Another good one, Professor....and I followed every word, even took notes for the test. I am going to have to think about this applying to history unless you're talking about using history as the basis for getting the numbers for studying what different kinds of groups did, etc. Hmmm, just have to think about that one but I'm sure I'll get it. Also, I guess I just don't know where the boundary lines are of when one discipline crosses over....History to Sociology, etc.

I don't know if Anthropology is considered "science" inasmuch as
there's an art to it, and people are involved... But I like anthropology almost as much as astrophysics - which have become ten times more fascinating since they fixed Hubble so we could really see through it. And Neil deGrasse Tyson is quite a wonderful spokesman for the sciences in general.

I remember my macroeconomics professor once saying, "We [economists] can't agree on anything, and we change beliefs a lot. If you get five economists together, you get twelve different opinions."
That was a great quote of Bernard that Wiley shared. It makes sense how we act in a group.

You've made it simple to understand, although I resent being classified as an object...unless it's the object of someone's desire.

Well Naut it seems like Claud had a good quick explanation. It appears that every Tom Dick And Harry wants to study us now.
