My Social Sciences Glossary

5 Social Sciences terms

Hello everyone, my name is Rosemarie. I am 18 years old, and I am studying Social Sciences for two years. This program is about the social and psychological sides of humans. It's also a pre-university program that leads people to achieve a profession requiring significant human interactions. I create this glossary in order to dissect and explain clearly and quickly what my program consists of because it is very popular but also very abstract. Thus, this glossary can help all of my classmates but also future students in the Social Sciences.
