2 Introduction: Four Lenses The four lenses in the Liberal Arts are History Lens, Humanities lens, Social Sciences Lens, and Natural Sciences lens. Key Characteristics The Social science key characteristics is based around people and society. The social sciences include psychology, sociology, anthropology, history and more. The study of human behavior is an essential part to social sciences. “To be sure, the study of human social and cultural life that is today associated with the social sciences has been examined throughout much of human history, although not nearly in as meticulous a manner as it is investigated today” (García, 2020, p.1). The National sciences key characteristics is based around the world and life. The national sciences include life sciences, physics science, and earth science. Studies like those that fall under STEM are also used in the national sciences. History’s key characteristics is based understanding, interpreting, and describing the past. Things like dates and what really happened are huge components on telling history. History can describe how, why, or when things are and where. “Sociology, demography, geography, political science, economics, anthropology, and many other fields contributed to the breadth of the discipline” (Kronzek, 2020, p.1). Humanities is based on culture, people, and human interactions. Humanities understands people and their culture through their expression and art. The Humanities can help you understand different people and reveal how to interact with them and co-exist. Types of evidence The evidence you are trying find when looking through the lenses is the key words and the way the message is stated. When looking through with a historic lens you want to look for things related to the past with either dates, facts, or other examples that show evidence about

3 history. References to things in the past can also be signs of history. When looking through a social science lens you want to look for thigs related to society, government, and things within the social sciences. You want to look for things related to diverse cultures and things related to who large groups of people would react or feel with various issues or controversies. When looking through with a natural science lens you want to look for things related to physical world and with life. Things that are involved with the planet and the life within along with the natural resources are evidence that you should look for when looking through this lens. When looking through the humanities lens you want to look for things related to human interactions. Finding things that deal with communications, traditions, and other aspects of people and culture is important when looking through the humanities lens. Similarities and Differences The four lenses share some similarities, mostly regarding be focused on people. The natural science lens is the most different from the other lens as it focusses on a lot of aspects that involve physics and earth sciences. It does have characteristics with biology, however unlike the other three lens, it has a huge focus on aspects the do not involves people and culture. With saying that, the other three lens do involve people and culture as huge characteristic as part of them. History has more focus on the past, whereas the other three lens focus more on the present. The two closest lenses are humanities and social sciences. Both lenses have big characteristics involving culture, people, and human interactions. “Both humanities, as well as social sciences, concern themselves with human lives and human nature. The difference lies in their approach as social sciences are sciences and adopt a more scientific approach, whereas humanities are descriptive and make use of analytical methods to explain concepts” (Admin,2013, p.1). You must be careful with the differences with those two lenses by the choice of words and what is

4 being portrayed specifically, however those two lenses share similarities in regard to human behavior. Researching my Topic Know The topic I am choosing to do is on Voting rights. I know some of the basic voting rights for people and how the voting rights have changed throughout history. I don’t have a lot of experience in voting as I have only voted once in this last presidential election. I voted through the mail, but I would have rather of voted in person if I could have. Through history voting has had a lot of changes within the past particularly on who is allowed to vote and what conditions voting has been administered. Through social science and humanities several millions of people have fought and died for the right of Americans to vote, and several other millions have protested and worked hard to allow more than just white males to vote. Through natural science there isn’t much connection. Want to Know I would like to know more about exactly what qualifies someone to vote and what things can stop people from being allowed to vote. What are current voting rights and standards that allow people to vote and what disqualifies individuals from voting today? How has voting rights developed and changed throughout history for who can vote? How has voting rights developed and changed throughout history on how voting is done? What are current voting rights and standards that allow people to vote and what disqualifies individuals from voting today?
