The term Social refers to a characteristic of living organisms (humans in particular, though biologists also apply the term to populations of other animals). It always refers to the interaction of organisms with other organisms and to their collective co-existence, irrespective of whether they are aware of it or not, and irrespective of whether the interaction is voluntary or involuntary.

What's the difference between History and Social Studies?
Q. I'm on Collegeboard and it's asking me how many years of Social Studies I've taken. I've always thought that social studies was the same as History, but it also asks me how many years of History I've taken. I plan on taking two years of History (I'm a Sophomore) and I don't know what they mean. The college I want to go to (UNC at Chapel Hill) doesn't require history, but they require three years of social studies. Would my two years in History (World History and US History) count as social studies? Are Social Studies and History both the same? If not how would I fufill their requirements? -Please help

A. Your histories would count as social studies. When I applied to UNC, I put down my histories (which were US history, World history, Government & Politics, etc.) and got in.

A. Social? Humans are slowly starting to realize that we no longer need the fear of a god figure to keep the rain falling and lightning from striking... Hopefully in my life time religion will be abolished and we can begin to rule our own destinies instead of allowing fear of the unknown make us follow religious leaders who have no more 'answers' then any other 'common' human. Answers come as we build upon the research and knowledge gained by previous generations. It is a constantly expanding knowledge base. Ethical? We are beginning to understand that we are not the rulers of the universe that religion told us we are. We have no Manifest Destiny to cover the globe at the expense of whatever was there before us. We, as a species have… [cont.]
