Integration of Mathematics into Social Science

Industrialization:

Industrialization was the beginning of Social Sciences being explored scientifically.

It also was the beginning of public education.

Though the scientific method was being applied to social science there was little computation involved and people didn’t have a need for it.

Bayes' theorem, an idea which would revolutionize statistics... one day.

We developed mathematical theory in this time which was not feasible to be used in research due to computation limits.

Romanticism:

Individuals became a greater focus in society and there was an increase in sympathy to the insane or disadvantaged of society.

WW1:

There are a greater and greater number of educated Europeans and Americans who are applying mathematics and science to industry and arms, social scientists focus more on poverty levels in their own nations (nationalism).

A Rough Rough Draft

·      Political Correctness

o   History

§  How it started

§  How it has evolved                            

o   Why it is a problem now

o   Call for change

·      Enlightenment

o   Push for equality

·      Industrial Revolution/Romantic Era

o   Ideologies

§  Liberalism

·      Universal human rights

·      Gilded Age

o   WWI

§  Advances in equality for women/blacks

§  Suffrage

·      Mid 20^th century

o   Used as a term to describe those of the Communist and Socialist party

o   Socialists who believed in egalitarian moral ideas vs. Communists who would defend their party’s position regardless or morality

·      1990s

o   Politics promoting multiculturalism

o   Feminism, sexism, racism

·      2000s

o   Typically used for left-wing terms and actions

·      2010s

o   Now as we see an increasing shift in morality in our country (ex. Gay rights, gay marriage) PC has taken a turn for the worst

·      Go into call to change

o   PC started as a means to ensure equality as we see this general trend in history pushing for equal rights

o   But now PC has become about dancing around a subject so we don’t step on people’s toes

o   Now it encroaches on freedoms of speech and expression, personal rights

o   We need to speak what is truth but with tact, not be restricted from sharing our beliefs just because it might offend the beliefs of another
