ABSTRACT

The relationships between social and natural sciences are made of hierarchies and prejudices. But with the result of moving to applied goals and outputs, science is required more and more to integrate diverse observations coming from social sciences. The corroboration from the social sciences perspective has become necessary not only for comprehending the emerging societal viewpoints, but also gaining the very validity of the substance of knowledge on many of the embryonic fields of scientific research and technological innovations that science seeks to successfully observe and experiment. Overall, in matters of knowledge creation, social sciences have tended to show a considerable latitude in addressing different facets of emergent trends, causalities and manifold consequences, thereby giving rise to the balance of power largely shift in their favor.

KEYWORDS
