Human Sciences AOK

Perception: 

Expectations can heavily influence observations as if the person has certain expectations or standards whether high or low it, they will demand results of equal level of quality or meeting in expectation. It also depends on the situation one is in the place and the person who is making this observation. An example of expectations and observations can be when a friend tells me about a certain country and how is in relative poverty, with all the population having a very low standard of living, however when when i go to that place expecting everyone to live on shanty towns or something, i find out that they just dont have enough to buy a 42 inch T.V. So this relationship depends on the person, place and and situation relative to perception. 

Language:

The language used by people in polls can definitely influence conclusions. It of course depends on the person, situation and place like many of these areas, however one person might use such language with figurative and persuasive techniques and influence the audience's perspective on something or someone. The person speaking can avoid the use of facts by just outright using ethos and pathos to get into people's minds and deviating them from the truth or another valid point, so they can believe in their created argument. One example of language being used would be the media persuading and spreading rumors to the people to change their opinions on Trump when it was rumored that the polls might have been hacked by Russians, therefore creating a change in perspective form the people and possibly leading to a change in the outcome or conclusion. 

Emotion: 

Human sciences can tell us about emotions in the way that the study of human science deals with a lot of human interactions. Therefore areas of study such as psychology can help us better understand how a human functions in terms of their actions, their decisions and why the make such choices when they are influenced by a certain factor. This section in the ways of knowing links a lot to the stud of psychology and how people show such emotions with different types of language like body language, hand gestures or just communicating verbally, then linking such actions back to certain experiences or previous events which influenced such emotions.

Mathematics:

One cannot fully study human behavior purely from statistical analysis or in a mathematical method, even though there ways in which have already been incorporated in order to rank country in terms of their happiness level and quality of life such as the HDI and GDP which takes into account the standard of living. Even though it is just an average just taking monetary values and other things like gender equality, it never truly gives an actual quality of life for all people and making it into a number or statistic is very inaccurate. The definition of this can vary with people's perspective and opinion while there might also be a difference where such indicators like GDP and HDI might have a significant difference in terms of regional disparities within the country, like rural vs urban which could differentiated a lot, therefore even if the measurement and indicators were an accurate representation of happiness, the overall average of a country's standard or living would be completely inaccurate. 

Natural sciences:

Natural sciences differ from that of human sciences, as the first one focuses more on the environment, how different ecosystems work together, the different kids of biomes around the world, how it all came to be, and how humans influence and take part in the world by interacting with such wild life and different areas in which we use to gather resources and further knowledge. A modern example of natural sciences can be the current search for earth-like planets around the universe, capable or hosting human life, the advancements in technology to how to feed the overgrowing world population and how to deal and minimize global warming and climate change. Human sciences interacts more with the psychological side of humans, how we interact with other people, why we do the things we do and how the mind works. This is all neurological and includes studies which people can use in order to know, predict and manipulate/persuading people in current events, whether it is running for president or just simply getting people to buy their products through targeted advertisements.

Religion:

Beliefs can definitely influence human sciences, depending on what religion you belief in or if none at all, it can show it the one one thinks, and reacts to certain things. As an example, the theory of evolution can be applied. If a person is very religious and doesn't belief in evolution, he/she might be close minded and would not be open to new ideas and technological advanced shown to try and prove otherwise. Even though this might not be an accurate representation of everyone in the same religion it can be served as an example. One might develop their ideas differently, taking different routes to reach a conclusion, based on their knowledge and beliefs on certain things.

The arts:

Knowledge gained about humans from art and literature can vary from that in the other as in these mediums, people can use to represent fictional or non-fictional observations about humans. In literature or art, the author or artist may glorify a certain group or event that happened in history. It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words, however it is not said how different people can have different interpretations of those one thousand words, therefore these sorts of medium not being accurate or unambiguous when it comes to interpreting human reactions and behavior based on certain factors which influence them.

History:

Yes, human scientists need to know about the history of their subjects as it could include different perspectives and approaches to the same thing. Which can provide modern scientists with more possibilities, support and information necessary to tackle new problems or have a basis in which to begin a new hypothesis or a continuation in research. Previous generations can provide a new way of thinking or a fresh take on the same area of concern, it can help the scientists to know how things came to be how they are now, the different stages or events that happened to lead to what would be modern. To know why humans did such actions before can also tell the scientist more information and a way to sort of match said emotions or reactions to previous ones or say if it is an evolutionary thing that happens.
