ABSTRACT
There are three major realms of study on the “world” around us. The first realm is about the existence of physical phenomena. The second is the relationship among humans, and the third realm is the link between humans and their physical world. Science develops from the interest in the first realm on the basis of logics, mathematics, and experiments. Studies focusing on social structure, culture, and actions/ interactions of people in everyday life are major concerns of the second realm. The third realm of concern about the link between humans and the physical world has generated studies straddling science and ethics, such as environmental and ecological studies, bio-sociology, life sciences, and the like. The concerns of social science fall mainly in the second realm, focusing on the study of relationships among humans.
