Experts collectively recommended and suggested that the purpose of social science is to help the youth make knowledgeable and reasoned decisions for the public good. Graduates must have the clear vision, mission and objectives to study the social science courses not only to get degree and job. They must focus on new research, new thoughts and innovations rather than old and conventional ways of study. We cannot ignore the numberless ways in which social sciences helps us understand, create, and engage with the institutions that shape our lives. Social sciences have direct impacts on our private and government sectors. The social sciences are important because they create better institutions and systems that affect the people's lives every day and shape our society. Youth must have true ambitions to take these courses, get ethics, morality, and professional training. Professors can play an important role to motivate the students to do something positive while studying these courses. They further added that social scientists are involved with solving many of the world's biggest issues because knowledge of the social sciences can help us improve and create our societies. Universities, NGO’s , think tanks, and research institutes are ideal places to work for social sciences and private sector business companies can support these institutions to create big opportunities for the social science students.
