While your final paper has detail disciplinary battles predicated upon your topic, it's important to also
consider what it is to really think of the disciplines unto themselves, both in separately and together. The last
question of this quiz tasks you with considering the vantage points and our future in general.
Obviously, our theories do best when we are as expansive as possible in our thinking, bringing in a variety of
methods, techniques, and approaches for insight. Though, we all generally still start "somewhere." I am a
sociologist so, even though I think through my thoughts with insights from anthropology, economics, and craft
studies, I still begin disciplinarily. I would wager that most of us do. But we should still think beyond just.
For this question: what is the biggest social issue that you think we need to address and which two social
science disciplines are best suited to address it? Why are these two disciplines best suited?
