| description | A society and people in general have always been the major focus of any study in the field of
social sciences. Given the conflicts, competition, pressures, tensions and differences that are
prevalent and persisting around us in today‘s society, social scientists can have a great
potential to touch the lives of all human beings in many different societies. By doing so, they
too can bridge the gaps that are seen to be widening between and within societies today. The
field of social sciences critically examines and analyses elements of human existence, their
infinite combinations of interactions, their value systems, traditions, culture, options and
choices and practices. This is reflected in a broad range of disciplines which include
anthropology and sociology, development studies, economics, political science, psychology
and social work.
The proceedings of this conference includes papers presented at the USM-International
Conference on Social Sciences (USM-ICOSS) 2015 which was hosted with the aptly noble
theme ―Touching Lives and Bridging Society‖ and held from 27 - 28 August 2015 at the
Rainbow Paradise Beach Resort, Penang, Malaysia. This conference is solely organized by
the School of Social Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Malaysia. |
