Humanities dive deep into the human experience using analytical and critical thinking - think literature, philosophy, and art. Meanwhile, social sciences take a more systematic approach to studying how people behave in societies.
Disciplines in social science include anthropology, economics, psychology, and sociology - basically all the ways we can scientifically study human behavior. This is different from natural sciences, which focus on understanding the physical world through experiments and observations.
Two major fields you'll encounter are political science (how governments work and why people vote the way they do) and anthropology (why different cultures exist and how that's totally normal). These subjects help explain everything from election results to why your friend's family traditions might be completely different from yours.
Quick Tip Think of social sciences as detective work - you're gathering clues about human behavior to solve the puzzle of how society works!
Anthropology branches into three fascinating areas. Linguistic anthropology studies how different languages shape cultures, while biological anthropology traces human evolution. Cultural anthropology is probably the most relatable - it examines beliefs, behaviors, and symbols that make each culture unique.
Geography isn't just about memorizing capitals! Physical geography covers climate, landforms, and natural processes that shape our planet. Human geography is more interesting for social sciences - it studies how people spread across Earth and interact with their environment.
Archaeology uncovers artifacts to understand past civilizations, while demography analyzes population trends. Ever wondered why some cities grow rapidly while others shrink? That's demography in action.
History goes beyond memorizing dates - it's about investigating the past through written records to understand how we got to where we are today.
Reality Check These fields overlap constantly. A historical event might involve geographical factors, demographic changes, and cultural shifts all at once!
Linguistics studies how language works as communication within societies - pretty crucial since language shapes how we think! Economics tackles scarcity and resource allocation, which affects everyone daily.
Microeconomics focuses on individual consumer choices (like why you choose one brand over another), while macroeconomics examines big-picture economic activity affecting entire countries.
Three major theories help explain society. Structural functionalism sees society as interconnected parts working together like a machine. Marxism examines how capitalism affects workers and economic development. Symbolic interactionism focuses on individual interactions and what they mean.
Don't forget macrostructure - the big social institutions like religion, education, and culture that shape group behavior. Comparative politics studies different government systems worldwide.
Connect the Dots These theories aren't just academic - they explain real situations like why certain economic policies work or fail in different countries!
Psychoanalysis connects mind, personality, and behavior while helping people deal with repressed emotions. Freud identified three types of memory that explain how our minds work.
Working memory is your conscious mind - easily accessible thoughts and information you're aware of right now. Ordinary memory (preconscious) stores information you can retrieve when needed, like remembering your friend's birthday when someone mentions it.
Repressed memory (unconscious) contains inaccessible thoughts and emotions, often from childhood experiences that still influence behavior without you realizing it.
Freud's personality theory includes three parts. The Id only wants pleasure and instant gratification (think of a toddler demanding candy). The Ego makes logical decisions and acts as the reasonable voice. The Superego strictly follows social rules and makes you feel guilty when you break them.
Real Talk You can see these three parts fighting in everyday decisions - like when you want to skip class (Id), know you should attend (Superego), and find a compromise (Ego)!
The Ego serves as your logical center and primary decision-maker. When you weigh pros and cons or think through consequences, that's your ego working to balance different demands and make reasonable choices.
The Superego represents your moral compass and social conscience. It pushes for strict adherence to society's laws and social norms, often making you feel guilty when you consider breaking rules or going against expectations.
Understanding these psychological concepts helps explain why people behave differently in various situations and how personality develops through social interactions and internal conflicts.
Key Insight Recognizing these different aspects of personality can help you understand your own decision-making process and why you sometimes feel conflicted about choices!

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend
