Political Science: the application of the scientific method to the political behavior of humans

As a discipline it frequently draws upon other fields of the Humanities but especially the other allied social sciences (e.g. anthropology, sociology, history, geography, psychology, and economics).



Internal Buzzings:
I am studying the human condition. I am particularly interested in ecology and its related matters. It keeps me up at night…and not always in the bad way. My education will refine the mind to calculated scrutiny. A few years more of contented training and I will be a political scientist.


I have long since laid down my art utensils, and have now exuviated my camera; having enslaved myself to my studies of social problems, my life is now composed of syllabi and sticky-notes.

Though I am lackluster, I am gorging myself (feeding with rapid greed) on political theory and am being trained into the narrow (but comfortable) confines of analysis. Yet still, a smothered, internal voice wishes to return to fervor...it will have to wait.
