1.
Using the resources from this course, identify the
key characteristics
of each of the four lenses: social science, natural science, history, and humanities.
o
Be sure to include relevant points that help explain the characteristics.
Social science: The focus in social science is individual or group behaviors and how both can vary and differ depending on their settings or the environment they are placed in.
Natural Science: The Natural science lens is the study of living organisms.
The focus of natural sciences is the physical and natural world around us.
History: The History Lens is the study and focus of past events, forms of documentation and scholarly sources to understand history and how it correlates to the events and things taking place around us today.
Humanities: The Humanities lens focus is ethics, language, lifestyle, the arts of different cultures and backgrounds all around the world. 2.
Identify the
types of evidence
used when looking through each lens. Social sciences methods and techniques rely on other primary sources to gather data such as journals, past interviews, diaries, etc. The natural sciences information is absolute. This is because theories are continuously tested to ensure that the data is accurate. The method used is the
Scientific Method. History uses the evidence from past events such as newspapers, scholarly journals, artifacts. The Humanities method is studying the similarities and differences of all cultures by using a magnifying glass on things like literature, paintings, interviews. 3.
Determine
similarities and differences
among the lenses, based on the characteristics you have identified. The similarities I noticed among the lenses is that most of them use similar methods of study and evidence just in different ways. The differences is their focus of study and the methods they use such as The natural sciences are more theory and
scientific based opposed to the social sciences are more environmental and psychologically based. Topic Proposal
4.
Last, in preparation for your project,
select a topic
to work on from among the following three topics. Document what you know about the topic you select and what you want to know more about. The topic I am choosing is Climate Change. Over the years many things and concerns have been brought to my attention surrounding climate change. I know there is a big and consistent argument going on surrounding it and a need for more to become more knowledgeable on the topic and figure out how we can help prevent it. The changes in weather such as having warmer weather in months that usually produce colder weather is a part of climate change as well as natural disasters occurring more frequently and randomly and in most recent cases being more severe than in the past well.
