Psychology: Psychology is a social science that aims to study the mind and behavior of human beings. It aims to understand what drives human beings to act in a certain way. It differs from sociology and anthropology in that it takes into account the individual rather than society as a whole. Sociology: Sociology is the study of the relationships that human beings have with each other and with social institutions. It aims to understand the links that exist between individuals and the social structures that surround them and also the functions that these social institutions perform in society. Anthropology: Anthropology is the study of human beings through the ages. It also aims to understand the different cultures and practices that have existed since the origins of humanity. It differs from sociology in that it takes into account humans and cultures that no longer exist. The structure of power in American society:C. Wright Mills in his article “The Structure of Power in American Society” writes that when considering the types of power that exist in modern society there are three main types which are authority, manipulation and coercion.

It discusses how the indifference to politics of many citizens of Western society and the fact that ideologies are now no longer necessary for those in power to impose their will are two fundamental truths of Western politics. In some societies it is the actions of many men that change the environment to which they belong and this in turn constitutes history.
