What is Basic Social Science?
Based on Wikipedia, social science is the integrated study of the social sciences and humanities to promote civic competence whereas according to Oxford Dictionary social science means the study of human society and social relationship. I have also found some other definitions on the internet, and one of them says that Basic Social Science is a group of academic disciplines that study the aspects related to the human and social environment. So I made my own conclusion about its definition; Basic Social Science is the study of social problems and the way to solve it. We are human being and we never be separated from any social issues. That’s why we have to know the social realities including the issues or the problem and its solution by learn this science.

2. To comprehend and be aware of the social realities and issues which exist in our society.
