why do we consider history as a social science write in own words
Answers
Answer:
It very much is. The social sciences include the study of how and why people behave in a particular (a very simplistic term). The “science” part comes from the ability to hypothesize and predict human behaviors according to the particular social science lens that one is using, in this case, History. In History, there are a number of ways that this is done: contextualization, periodization, causation, and many more. In contextualization, for example, we look at the people, space, and place surrounding a particular event in order to explain why the event happened. That way we can make comparisons of the people, space, and place in another context to say why something may or may not occur in the same way. It goes back to the adage—history repeats itself—to say why that is true or not. As another example, a political historian looks at what is happening today (war, population, globalization) as trends to determine the outcome of the current election.
The older version of understanding History was as social studies or as only located in the Humanities which meant looking at events, dates, and people on their own without applying the science (for example, an art historian’s analysis of a painting according to a certain time period).
We also see in public high schools today, intentionally incorporating different social sciences in the four-year plan for students: geography (how people interact with land and location), history (how we interact with cause-effect), political science (how we act as a group including in governance), economics (how incentives influence behavior) and electives in sociology (how we group together), anthropology (how groups develop and interact), and psychology (how the brain influences behavior). I find it most interesting (I realize this impacts my street cred/nerd-status) to see how one event looks in the various frameworks, let’s say revolutionary wars. Each framework tells a much different story of the events and helps us to understand it in interesting (and most times, more inclusive, holistic) ways.
