How Social Sciences Help People

Abstract: 4 pages in length. The extent to which social sciences help people address the daily challenges of life, as well as prepare for future burdens that might not yet be known, is both grand and far-reaching. Understanding one's past in order to live in the present and plan for the future is an integral component to such literary works as Paul Kennedy's Preparing for the Twenty-First Century, Joseph S. Nye, Jr's The Paradox of American Power: Why the World's Only Superpower Can't Go It Alone and Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies. No additional sources cited.
