I have decided to use social science lenses and natural science lenses for my project because they both go hand in hand with climate change. Social science lenses study human behaviors whether alone or in a group of people in different social environments. Natural science lenses are fundamental sciences and study everything physically in this world by using the 6 steps of the scientific method. These two lenses have similarities and differences from each other, especially when looking at them when researching climate change. Social science lenses and natural science lenses share a few similarities. One of the similarities the two lenses share is how they gather their information using primary sources. These sources would be documents, interviews, data collection, and scientific evidence. In relation to climate change, the evidence gathered in social science and natural science lenses is used to determine what is causing climate change and how to slow down the process or avoid it altogether. Social sciences and natural sciences differ from each other by how they are both scientifically studied. Social science lens studies human behavior, their relationships, and their activity. The disciplines that social science lenses use are psychology, sociology, and anthropology (Research Guides: IDS 100 - Perspectives in Liberal Arts: Lenses Identified, n.d.b). Whereas, natural science lens analyze data through hypotheses, testing, and observations to draw conclusions. The disciplines studied in natural sciences are biology, physics, and chemistry (Research Guides: IDS 100 - Perspectives in Liberal Arts: Lenses Identified, n.d.-b). When looking at climate change from a social science lens, scientists study climate change regarding human activity and the impacts that these activities have on climate change. Looking at climate change from a natural science lens, it is observed from a scientific standpoint regarding natural occurrences on how events on earth can be causing climate change. I am learning a lot of diverse ways on how to study a specific topic. Rather than learning about how human behavior causes climate change, I am also finding out about how natural occurrences cause climate change as well. Using lenses in researching helps me with understanding information from different perspectives, which allows me to form questions that I would not have thought of prior to learning about the lenses. This idea is beneficial because there is a lot of controversy between the two perspectives on whether humans are the main cause of climate change or if natural occurrences are the main cause of climate change. This will help decipher if we can make a difference in bettering the earth or if it is a situation that is completely out of our control.
