One subject that could be included in both humanities and Social Sciences is sociology. Sociology studies human behavior, relationships, and societies through various perspectives such as culture, social structures, and institutions. It bridges the gap between understanding individual experiences and larger societal trends, making it relevant to both humanities and social sciences.
Humanities and Social Sciences
Subjects like history, anthropology, sociology, and political science can be included in both the humanities and social studies. These disciplines often explore human behavior, culture, society, and institutions, bridging the gap between the study of human experience and social structures.

Humanities and Social Sciences
Humanities disciplines such as philosophy, literature, and history are not considered social sciences. While both humanities and social sciences study human behavior and societies, the focus in humanities is often on exploring ideas, values, and narratives in a more qualitative and interpretive manner compared to the social sciences, which tend to emphasize empirical research and data analysis.
