SOCIAL SCIENCES

Social sciences examine human behavior, social structures, and interactions in various settings. Fields such as sociology, psychology, anthropology, and economics study social relationships, cultural norms, and institutions. By using different research methods, social scientists seek to understand community dynamics, the effects of policies, and factors driving social change. This field is important for tackling current issues, guiding public discussions, and developing strategies for social progress and innovation.

Recent researches indicate that naional and personal wealth and happiness are not always posiively correlated. It is true that people who are rich and who live in economically developed naions (e.g., Finland, France, and Singapore) reported being happy, and people who are living in relaively poor countries reported being unhappy (e.g., Cambodia, Kenya, and Poland). However, many people in economically developed naions reported being relaively unhappy (e.g., Japan, Norway, and United States) and people who live in poor countries reported being happy (e.g., Bhutan, China, and Indonesia). These results indicate inancial resources may be necessary for happiness but are not suicient to make people happy, healthy and have a high quality of life.
