I-Introduction There is a very crucial point in the social sciences which make the events and phenomenons more clear. Therefore we as the students of these areas can have the chance seeing the backgrounds of what happens in the world and noumenon of the events. Another important aspect of social sciences is its holistic structure which interconnects different disciplines and they move together helping each other in the area. The purpose of the social sciences is to set up an available and strong method and thus to get the ability of reading the social world. The interest of the person on the social phenomenons brings him to feel the necessity of walking on a more systematic and technical way. Most of the social scientists probably started like this. Important thing is to decide which one would be your basic discipline or perspective. From which point of view do you consider or approach the events? Your starting point is economical or philosophical or religious or maybe political? This paper is actually indicates the signs of a political science and international relations student’ thoughts and opinions. II-My early relations with social sciences particularly political sciences The first motives which push me the political issues were the political writings and movies. There is a rule that is probably valid for the most, “I read a sentence and my whole life is transferred.” I accept it is seen exaggerated however young people have already be ready for these kinds of experiences which fire the ideas. Books and articles including political issues and political agenda created a particular interest for me and by the time I found myself in a systematic reading behaviour on the political history and social movements in the country... ... middle of paper ... ...cultures I want to see and it is very beneficial to learn a new language to deepen in the literature. I hope my efforts would be functional for academic life and also practice. However I addition them, I hope they provide an individual development to understand the humanity and the world. V-Conclusion This paper is about my occupational story, on how I started and how I am continuing. From social sciences perspective, this individual short story offers an experience and maybe it would be helpful for the beginners and undergraduate students. I have chosen IR as the discipline for both my professional life and intellectual life. It provides an awakening about what is going on in the world. From one side, I can see and interpret the events in the macro level and on the other side I can see a micro movement’s background. It became for me a formula or a style to live.
Social science is defined as “the scientific study of human society and social relationships”. (Oxford Dictionaries 2013a) It is important to understand that different people would interact differently, giving rise to different different culture, social norms, beliefs and religions. By improving our understanding and awareness, we would be able to treat patients more efficiently and effectively whilst respecting their culture and beliefs. There is an increasing number of diseases and societal problems such as addiction, obesity, violence and end-of-life care that cannot be addressed without taking into account the behavioural or social factors.

The level of analysis discloses three different ways of understanding international relations. System-level analysis considers a "top-down" approach to studying world politics (Rourke, 2007, p. 91). It emphasises that international actors, countries, operate in a global social-political-economic-geographic environment and the explicit characteristics of the system outlines the mode of interaction among the actors. The State-level analysis stresses the national states and their domestic practices such as national interests, interest groups, government, and domestic economy as the key determinants of the state of world affairs (Mingst, 2008). The individual-level analysis examines human actors on the global stage.
These are known as the Individual, state and systemic level of analysis. This paper will focus on the causes of war with each level of analysis. There will always be wars because men are just aggressive animals. This statement relates to the individual level
The family influences children at a young age when parent's political viewpoints are unconditionally and naturally accepted. This information guides our first political preferences and opinions and statistically is the majority of the ideals we retain. Later on in life, as children mature and are able to make their own rational decisions, most retain the political values instilled in them at a young age and over time may relate them to peers. Varying agents of socialization, like education and media influence our political opinions as adults. While some of the tactics used by these modes are obvious, others are less direct. Supplementary information can be gained from methods appealing to long-

Political Science has many definitions. Some would say it is simply a game of rhetoric but at its hearth it can be defined as a discipline that studies public polices, political behaviors, governments and political behavior. As a social science, the process used to acquire information includes a combination of several approaches. Political Science uses case studies, historical, constitutional, and institutional contexts, comparative case studies and also quantitative/qualitative methods.
The discipline of International Relations employs different definitions. Robert W. Cox in his seminal article Social Forces, States, and World Orders (1986) stated that international relations is the area of study concerned with interrelationships among states in an epoch in which states and most commonly nation-states are the principle aggregations of political power. The article further stated that it is concerned with the outcomes of war and peace and this has obvious practical importance. According to the article, ‘Why International Relations has Failed as an Intellectual Project and What to do About it’ by Buzan and Little, international relations borrows a lot from other areas in social science but rarely filters into them. Moreso, It has utilized many history and sociology theorist in formulating and grounding its
From the beginning of ancient history the main question for political philosophy is how a human being exists in society, who should govern the society, how should the society be governed, who are the best rulers and how should they behave themselves, what is just and what is unjust, is better to be governed through just or not, how should the states be structured? These are main questions in political philosophy, that until today are strictly discussed. The major tasks of political philosophers are to analyze the nature of human being and to evaluate the ways in which an individual relates with society he lives in. The study of human nature is one of the most important aspects of political science and philosophy. In the process of creating a form of governance it is essential to understand the innate characteristics of human nature in order to avoid a bad government for all society and to achieve the ways how people should be governed most effectively. From the ancient time the roots of justification of political power were tied to sights of human nature.
Sociology is a study of groups, societies and their interactions, social behavior, including its origins, development, organization, networks and institution. It seeks to increase human understanding of the way the social world works. Like anthropology or economics, even sociology is a social science, but helps us understand the social forces that affect our behavior, beliefs and life chances. Sociology as a social science focuses heavily on systematic research following the rules of scientific method. Sociologists come up with theories and answers to the behavioral patterns of the society and its impacts which leads to a sole reason why sociology is a science. Sociologists use two different research methods such as:

Sociology is the study of human society, the ways we behave in society, the origins of society, its functions, and the problems that presented. Sociology focus the study on the relationships among us, social classes, the organizations in our structure, and our cultural values. The role of a sociologist is to observe the way our society is structure, and draw out conclusion from the finding, help develop theory that can solve many social problems and pave the part to the ideal society.
Learning another language provides high rewards including “improved cultural understandings, communication abilities and job prospects.” (Preston and Seedhouse, 2013) Because of the rapid development of technology, applying an array of media is being presented to students in different parts of the world in an effort to achieve different purposes such as educational needs.
Therefore, this is able to encourage the ability to communicate and appreciate the depth and diversity of the world. Communication with two different countries, or three, or four, will further bring the world closer together, in hopes of closing the divide between some countries. By learning a second language, it can significantly broaden your native language as it gives you stronger vocabulary skills, improved literacy skills and a better understanding of the grammar and construction of your own native language. Furthermore, this can help you in other educational studies. Though it is possible to travel to another country without acquiring the native language, the experience you will have is greatly diminished as you will not see beyond the surface of their culture. Additionally, knowing the native language makes travelling easier, by being able to order meals in restaurants, ask and understand directions. Additionally, it makes it easier to find accommodation, it’s more enjoyable, informative and more satisfying. You are able to further understand and appreciate international literature, music and films, by being able to understand word plays, innuendoes, cultural references, metaphors and further improve your ability to speak the
Compared to the makibaka generation of the 70’s, ours is relatively apathetic to political matters. This is somehow attributable to the modern set-up of Philippine news broadcasting and advertising.
