As its name implies, social studies are all those studies, research and analysis that are carried out on society, either as a whole or individually to the members that compose it. Social studies have always been very useful and important for man because they allow him to know those phenomena related to his social structures, his behavior, his history, his interests, etc. In specific terms, the idea of social studies can vary from country to country at the academic level as there is no single definition of this field of research. However, it is common to group within this same type of studies sciences such as sociology, anthropology, history, psychology, education, law, philosophy, religion, economics and even geography since all of them they are related to a greater or lesser degree with human and social endeavors.
One of the main characteristics of social studies, which clearly differentiates it from the exact and natural sciences, is that although they have a method of study, the answers to the questions are never exclusive or part of a univocal formula, but rather They tend to lend themselves much more to debate as there is no single answer or analysis to each phenomenon. The complexity of the human being as an individual and as part of a set of individuals known as society is what makes a social phenomenon can never be understood in mathematical, linear and exclusive terms.
Social studies thus has an obstacle since the possible answers to a single question can be infinite. Social studies must then be more comprehensive (in the sense of understanding more possibilities) than exact analysis systems and not be limited to a single answer but consider that the different phenomena, events or situations that make up a society are the result of a complex system of cultural, political, economic, social, environmental interactions, etc.
