 SOCIO-CULTURE ECONOMICS POLITICS

What Is It

SOCIO-CULTURE, ECONOMICS and POLITICS

Sociocultural is something that involves the social and cultural aspects. A
sociocultural perspective in learning means that one takes a process perspective on
human learning. The concept of the interaction trajectory is important because it
provides for the possibility of exploring how students orient themselves in situations
over time.
An example of sociocultural is a focus of study in anthropology. Sociocultural
is knowing about the people around and their family backgrounds.
Economics is the scientific study of the ownership, use and exchange of scarce
resources – often shortened to the science of scarcity. Economics is regarded as a
social science because it uses scientific methods to build theories that can help

8
explain the behavior of individuals, groups and organizations. Economics attempts to
explain economic behavior, which arises when scarce resources are exchanged.
Political Science is the social scientific study of political institutions and
political behavior. The study of political institutions includes topics such as effect of
the design of electoral systems on the quality of representation in government, the
formal and informal elements of the legislative process and their implications for the
making of law and the impact of domestic political institutions on the incidence of
international conflict.
