Why do we involve ourselves in the study of social sciences? Is it not an field of study which (while interesting) essentially leaves us with little cultural capital in this increasingly pragmatic world? Why do we need concern ourselves with understanding the concepts and nuances of everyday life, the reason for the existence of certain cultural traits and norms? One is perfectly able to function and pass through life without the need to answer such issues. Why understand yourself? Why understand the question? Why question the system?

I really do wish i had the answers to these questions. I don't really know what I'm doing.
