Here we go... bustin out
wikipedia on this one:
Political science is a social science
concerned with the theory and practice of politics and the description
and analysis of political systems and political behavior.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poli_sci)
Social sciences may draw
upon empirical methods and attempt to emulate the standards of
conventional scientific practice. By contrast, other social scientists
employ critical analysis or hermeneutic methods to study objects of
enquiry they regard as inconsistent with the conventional approach.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_science)
Science (from the
Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge") is, in its broadest sense, any
systematic knowledge-base or prescriptive practice that is capable of
resulting in a prediction or predictable type of outcome. In this sense,
science may refer to a highly skilled technique or practice.[1]
