Truths
It seems like this is a common topic. I am social science person and my social science/humanities friends and I tend to state how our minds just do not work in a science way, while my science friends have equally as hard of a time with social science/humanities. In my opinion a science mindset tends to find one truth, and findings are solid facts; whereas in social science/humanities there are multiple truths, and what might be true in one situation might not be in another. Science is a step by step in a linear evolutionary process and social science/humanities just seems to flow from one thing to another and it just swims around making shapes and connecting as it pleases.
I really want to say that through this class I have been seeing this differently, but I cannot say that is true, I just feel like I have been proven right. A classmate and I always come to the same conclusion, the science people in the classroom always appear to have one solid argument while the social science/humanities people seem to be comfortable with multiple truths, and the possibility of variety. So while I want to say that the line can be blurred, I really don't think it has, maybe they really are two separate fields that really cannot be united, I want to be open to flexibility between the two but I just don't think its feasible.
