In that sense, social sciences have the character of data science. Economics, political science, sociology, and psychology are examples of this. Some classes focus on the entire world from a global perspective. There are also hands-on classes based on on-site experiences, allowing you to delve into the deeper layers of modern society not only through your mind (thinking skills) but also through your body and five senses.
