Social Science and Political Science

Social sciences are the fields of scientific knowledge and academic scholarship that study social groups and, more generally, human society. As such, of one of the branches of social science is political science which is the systematic study of state and government. The word "political" comes from the Greek word "polis", meaning a city, or what today would be the equivalent of sovereign state. The word science is from the Latin word "scire", "to know".

 Political science is a very comprehensive field. Its curriculum is almost certain to include courses in political theory, public law, and public administration as well as in various more specialized subjects such as local government, political parties, elections, public opinions, and others.
