So basically, the main concern of applied science is about scientific knowledge and how to practice it into the real world. This can be a scientific and practical contribution to people. Applied science's neccesity is triggered by research question which become the problem to be solved. It usually produces practical steps, practical decisions, as tools to answer the existing problem. It helps stakeholders to develop the systems to be better. Applied science related to economical aspects. A common question in applied science is what's the short-term and long-tern impact if the existing problem is not be solved? What is the practical solutions for the problem so the negative impacts won't be happened in future? The question like these would be answered in applied science. The similarities between Applied Science and Social Science:
1.Based on scientific research
2.Have contribution to civilizations 3.Necessary to human life 4.Root of science 5.Been done with a scientific methodology The differences between Applied Science and Social Science: Purpose Applied science: solving problem Social science: theory proven Trigger Applied science: problem to be solved or needs to be developed Social science: curiosity Object Applied science: system Social science: people Methodology Applied science: both quantitative and qualitative Social science: qualitative Output Applied science: technology, invention Social science: qualified hypothesis or behavioral theory
