Humanities and Social Sciences Strand is for learners who aim to take up journalism, communication arts, liberal arts, education, and other social science-related courses in college. Humanities can be described as the study of how people process and document the human experience. Since humans have been able, we have used philosophy, literature, religion, art, music, history and language to understand and record our world. These modes of expression have become some of the subjects that traditionally fall under the humanities umbrella. Knowledge of these records of human experience gives us the opportunity to feel a sense of connection to those who have come before us, as well as to our contemporaries. This strand helps you to build a solid liberal arts foundation, detailed exploration of the theoretical aspects of your field and hands-on professional experience. This strengthens your logical reasoning and critical thinking which are needed skills once you go to college.

The humanities and social science are the study of human behaviour and interaction in social cultural, environmental, economic political contexts. The humanities and social sciencrd have a historical and contemporary fucos from personal to global contexts and consider challenges for the future. The humanities and social science subject is the understanding of thr world in which we live and how people can participate as a individual. In humanities and social science we can develop the ability to think critical , questioning , communicate effectively and make decisions and adapt to change. And it can develop the imagination of a student through this subjects by the historical literature and to think more about it. Through humanities and social science we can think more and analyse the culture and the last societies. Humanities and social science can help us to think more and to develop our skills to communicate each individuals and to adapt more details as a tools for understanding society.

Social science, any discipline or branch of science that deals with human behaviour in its social and cultural aspects. The social sciences include cultural (or social) anthropology, sociology, social psychology, political science, and economics. Also frequently included are social and economic geography and those areas of education that deal with the social contexts of learning and the relation of the school to the social order. History is regarded by many as a social science, and certain areas of historical study are almost indistinguishable from work done in the social sciences. Most historians, however, consider history as one of the humanities. It is generally best, in any case, to consider history as marginal to the humanities and social sciences, since its insights and techniques pervade both. The study of comparative law may also be regarded as a part of the social sciences, although it is ordinarily pursued in schools of law rather than in departments or schools containing most of the other social sciences.
Since the 1950s the term behavioral sciences has often been applied to the disciplines designated as the social sciences. Those who favour this term do so in part because these disciplines are thus brought closer to some of the sciences, such as physical anthropology and physiological psychology, which also deal with human behaviour. Whether the term behavioral sciences will in time supplant “social sciences” or whether it will, as neologisms so often have before, fade away is impossible to say. For the purposes of this article, the two terms may be considered synonymous.
Although, strictly speaking, the social sciences do not precede the 19th century—that is, as distinct and recognized disciplines of thought—one must go back farther in time for the origins of some of their fundamental ideas and objectives. In the largest sense, the origins go all the way back to the ancient Greeks and their rationalist inquiries into the nature of humans, state, and morality. The heritage of both Greece and Rome is a powerful one in the history of social thought as it is in other areas of Western society. Very probably, apart from the initial Greek determination to study all things in the spirit of dispassionate and rational inquiry, there would be no social sciences today. True, there have been long periods of time, as during the Western Middle Ages, when the Greek rationalist temper was lacking. But the recovery of this temper, through texts of the great classical philosophers, is the very essence of the Renaissance and the Age of Reason in modern European history. With the Age of Reason, in the 17th and 18th centuries, one may begin.
