Social science is a multidisciplinary field that studies human behavior, social structures, and changes in society. It encompasses disciplines such as sociology, anthropology, political science, and economics, each contributing to a deeper understanding of how individuals and societies interact. In the modern era, as the world faces rapid changes in political, economic, and cultural landscapes, social science has become increasingly vital for addressing complex global challenges. The field explores the dynamics of power, inequality, and social conflict, offering insights into ways to mitigate issues such as poverty, injustice, and discrimination. Social science research, using both qualitative and quantitative methodologies, helps in analyzing current phenomena and providing evidence-based policy recommendations. These insights are crucial for shaping effective solutions that promote social well-being at local, national, and global levels. As global issues like migration, climate change, and international conflict continue to affect societies, social science provides the tools necessary to understand and navigate these challenges. This paper discusses the scope of social science, its key disciplines, and the importance of its application in real-world problems, highlighting the need for continuous research and adaptation in response to changing societal needs.

Poverty and economic inequality pose substantial issues for numerous emerging nations, with an estimated 712 million individuals globally residing in extreme poverty as of 2022. This article analyzes the impact of public policy on these concerns, with case studies from Indonesia, Brazil, and India. This research employs literature review methodologies to analyze several implemented policies, including conditional cash assistance, enhanced access to education, health services, infrastructure development, and economic empowerment initiatives. Conditional cash transfer programs, exemplified by Indonesia's Family Hope Program and Brazil's Bolsa Familia, have demonstrated efficacy in enhancing access to fundamental services for impoverished populations. Conversely, implementation obstacles, including limited institutional capacity and inadequate oversight, frequently obstruct policy achievement in underdeveloped nations. This study concludes that effective public policy necessitates a multifaceted strategy involving resource redistribution, the creation of economic possibilities, and enhanced access to education and healthcare. This research aims to offer insights for other developing nations by examining the policies enacted in these three countries, so facilitating the creation of more inclusive and sustainable public policy interventions. These findings underscore the significance of the government's involvement in empowering impoverished communities through systematic and sustainable measures to foster equitable development and mitigate inequality.

Globalization has induced substantial changes across multiple facets of life in Indonesia, encompassing social, economic, and cultural dimensions. This study seeks to examine the effects of globalization on social inequality and poverty in Indonesia. The results demonstrate that globalization generates significant opportunities via access to global markets, foreign capital, and cutting-edge technologies. Nonetheless, these advantages are not uniformly allocated, leading to increasing societal inequalities. Communities possessing access to education, technology, and economic resources are more adept at leveraging globalization, but marginalized groups, such as the rural impoverished, often fall behind. Transformations in economic frameworks, urban development, and the impact of global culture intensify regional and socioeconomic disparities. While globalization can alleviate poverty via economic expansion, its advantages frequently favor particular demographics, therefore exacerbating the disparity between the affluent and the impoverished. This study underscores the significance of inclusive and equitable measures to alleviate the adverse effects of globalization. The government must improve access to education, technology, and economic opportunities for marginalized people while bolstering regional development to promote equality. Effective management of globalization can facilitate sustainable development and mitigate social inequality in Indonesia. Without sufficient action, globalization threatens to intensify inequalities and poverty within society.  

This research explores the role of the church as an agent of social change by applying the principles contained in Jesus' political manifesto. In the context of increasing social injustice, the church is expected not only to function as a place of worship, but also as an entity that is active in empowering society. Through a theological and praxis approach, this study analyses how the teachings of Jesus can be implemented in concrete actions to address issues of injustice, such as poverty, discrimination and inequality. Using a qualitative method, this research collected data through interviews and case studies in various church communities that have successfully carried out social transformation. The results show that the application of these principles not only improves the quality of life of congregation members, but also strengthens solidarity and social care in the community. The findings are expected to provide new insights for churches in formulating more effective and relevant ministry strategies to address social challenges in the modern era.

The resolution of cases solved by maramba against the people or faced with various legal, social, cultural, and economic obstacles. Limited access to law enforcement and low legal knowledge make victims reluctant to seek justice. The research used is empirical legal research or empirical juridical research. Data collection for this research is interviews, observations and document studies. The data to be collected is then processed using the observation method. The results of the study show that the choice of customary resolution that prioritizes reconciliation also makes cases rarely processed through formal law. Economic dependence on maramba further weakens the position of ata. Violations committed by maramba (king) against the ata (lower) people in Rindi District, East Sumba, can be resolved through two channels: criminal law and customary law. Criminally, tournaments are regulated in Article 351 of the Criminal Code and can be reported to the authorities. However, people more often choose customary resolution through mediation by traditional elders (rato) who emphasize compensation or peace rituals. Social inequality, maramba dominance, economic dependence, and cultural pressure make it difficult for the ata people to fight back. They are reluctant to report because they are afraid, do not understand the law, and believe more in customary resolutions which are considered to maintain social harmony.

The purpose of this analysis is to explore the relationship between the Protestant ethic and the development of modern capitalism, and to analyze the influence of Protestant ethical values ​​on economic and social dynamics. In addition, this analysis aims to identify shortcomings in existing studies, including theoretical focus and broader social impacts, in order to produce a more comprehensive understanding of the interaction between the Protestant ethic, capitalism, and the social context. The method used is a literature review, which involves analyzing literature related to social theory, especially Max Weber's thoughts, as well as criticism of his approach. The results of the study indicate that although the Protestant ethic has an important role, other factors such as technological progress, social change, and political structures also contribute to shaping modern capitalism. In addition, the issue of social inequality and injustice that may arise from the application of these ethical values ​​requires more attention in future studies. Thus, this study emphasizes the need for a more holistic approach to understanding the complex interaction between the Protestant ethic, capitalism, and the broader social context.

This study investigates the use of digital storytelling (DST) as an educational strategy to enhance students’ critical thinking, empathy, and social awareness, particularly in addressing social injustice issues. Despite the growing emphasis on social justice education, traditional teaching methods often fail to engage students meaningfully or to connect personal experiences with broader societal contexts. This research aims to explore how DST can foster reflective learning, empathy, and social responsibility among students. A qualitative methodology was employed, involving data collection through student-created narratives, content analysis using ATLAS.ti, and thematic coding to identify recurring patterns and insights. The findings reveal that DST significantly improves students’ critical thinking skills and emotional engagement, allowing them to articulate personal experiences while understanding social structures and injustices. Students demonstrated increased empathy and the ability to link creative narratives with real-world social issues. Comparative analysis indicates that DST offers advantages over conventional pedagogical methods by promoting interactive, reflective, and socially conscious learning. The study concludes that integrating digital storytelling into educational practices can effectively cultivate socially aware, empathetic, and creative learners, thereby contributing to a more just and inclusive educational environment.

This study seeks to examine and assess the influence of Zakat, Infaq, and Sedekah (ZIS), corruption, and education on income inequality in Indonesia. The research uses a saturated sampling method, collecting data from the National Zakat Amil Agency (BAZNAS), Transparency International, the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), and the World Bank. The analysis uses quantitative time-series data from 2011 to 2022, processed with Stata 15, and employs multiple linear regression as the analytical method. The results indicate that ZIS has a significant negative effect on income inequality, while corruption also significantly reduces income inequality. On the other hand, education shows a positive but statistically insignificant effect. The coefficient of determination test reveals that 93.06% of the variation in income inequality can be explained by ZIS, corruption, and education, with the remaining 6.94% attributed to other factors not included in the study. Additionally, the findings suggest that ZIS and corruption together have a notable influence on income inequality.

Nowadays, women do a lot of housework, reflecting a major shift in gender roles. In the past, women were more focused on family duties in patriarchal societies. However, today women also contribute to the professional world, often becoming the backbone of the family. The purpose of writing this article is to find out about the role of women who work hard in the family to meet family needs. This study uses a qualitative approach with a literature study to explore feminist theories and related literature that discuss the role of women in the family. The results of the study show that the role of women in the family has now developed into more than just a housewife; they also function as double workers who contribute to the family economy, both in the formal and informal sectors. Although involved in financial decision-making and earning a living, women often face challenges in balancing careers and household responsibilities, which can cause stress and fatigue. Therefore, it is important to have fairness in the division of tasks so that women can focus on their careers without being burdened by domestic responsibilities, while also being a role model for future generations in teaching the values ​​of gender equality and the importance of collaboration in the family.
