Reflect:
Reflect upon the themes that the disciplines
covered this week explore and the methods that they use to explore these topics. How do these different approaches and themes help contribute to the larger understanding of society, culture, and human behavior? Based upon your understandings
of these disciplines, how might their approach to topics be helpful to other disciplines within the social sciences? Other academic disciplines outside of the social sciences? To the general public?
In addition, think about the strategies used by practitioners of these disciplines to avoid bias. Do these differ from the social science disciplines that You read about last week? If so how? Can these approaches be adapted for use outside of the social science?
