　　The social sciences areflourishing.As of 2005,there were almost half a million professional socialscientists from all fields in the world, working both inside and outsideacademia. According to the World Social Science Report 2010,the number ofsocial-science students worldwide has swollen by about 11% every year since2000.

　　Yet this enormousresource in not contributing enough to today’s global challenges includingclimate change, security,sustainable development and health。(41)______Humanityhas the necessary agro-technological tools to eradicate hunger , fromgenetically engineered crops to arificial fertilizers . Here , too, theproblems are social: the organization and distribution of food, wealth andprosperity。

　　(42)____This is ashame—the community should be grasping the opportunity to raise its influencein the real world. To paraphrase the great social scientist JosephSchumpeter:there is no radical innovation without creative destruction 。

　　Today ,the socialsciences are largely focused on disciplinary problems and internal scholarlydebates,rather than on topics with external impact。

　　Analyses reveal thatthe number of papers including the keywords “environmental changed” or “climatechange” have increased rapidly since 2004,(43)____

　　When social scientistsdo tackle practical issues ,their scope is often local:Belgium is interestedmainly in the effects of poverty on Belgium for example .And whether thecommunity’s work contributes much to an overall accumulation of knowledge isdoubtful。

　　The problem is notnecessarily the amount of available funding (44)____this is an adequate amountso long as it is aimed in the right direction. Social scientists who complainabout a lack of funding should not expect more in today’s economic climate。

　　The trick is to directthese funds better.The European Union Framework funding programs have long hada category specifically targeted at social scientists.This year,it was proposedthat system be changed:Horizon 2020,a new program to be enacted in 2014,wouldnot have such a category ,This has resulted in protests from socialscientists.But the intention is not to neglect social science ; rather ,thecomplete opposite。(45)____That should create more collaborative endeavors andhelp to develop projects aimed directly at solving global problems。

　　[A] It could be that weare evolving two communities of social

　　scientists:one that isdiscipline-oriented and publishing in highly

　　specializedjournals,and one that is problem-oriented and publishing

　　elsewhere,such aspolicy briefs。

　　[B] However,the numbersare still small:in 2010,about 1,600 of the

　　100,000 social-sciencespapers published globally included one of these

　　Keywords。

　　[C] the idea is toforce social to integrate their work with other categories, including healthand demographic change food security, marine research and the bio-economy,clear, efficient energy; and inclusive, innovative and secure societies。

　　[D] the solution is tochange the mindset of the academic community, and what it considers to be itsmain goal. Global challenges and social innovation ought to receive much moreattention from scientists, especially the young ones。

　　[E] These issues allhave root causes in human behavior . all require behavioral change and socialinnovations , as well as technological development . Stemming climate change ,for example , is as much about changing consumption patterns and promoting taxacceptance as it is about developing clean energy。

　　[F] Despite thesefactors , many social scientists seem reluctant to tackle such problems . Andin Europe , some are up in arms over a proposal to drop a specific fundingcategory for social-science research and to integrate it within cross-cuttingtopics of sustainable development 。

　　[G] During the late1990s , national spending on social sciences and the humanities as a percentageof all research and development funds-including government, higher education,non-profit and corporate -varied from around 4% to 25%； in most Europeannations , it is about 15%。

　　It is speculated thatgardens arise from a basic need in the individuals who made them: the need for creativeexpression. There is no doubt that gardens evidence an impossible urge tocreate, express, fashion, and beautify and that self-expression is a basichuman urge; (46) Yet when one looks at the photographs of the garden created bythe homeless, it strikes one that , for all their diversity of styles, thesegardens speak os various other fundamental urges, beyond that of decoration andcreative expression。

　　One of these urges hadto do with creating a state of peace in the midst of turbulence, a “still pointof the turning world,” to borrow a phrase from T. S. Eliot. (47)A sacred placeof peace, however crude it may be, is a distinctly human need, as opposed toshelter, which is a distinctly animal need. This distinction is so much so thatwhere the latter is lacking, as it is for these unlikely gardens, the foemerbecomes all the more urgent. Composure is a state of mind made possible by thestructuring of one’s relation to one’s environment. (48) The gardens of thehomeless which are in effect homeless gardens introduce from into an urbanenvironment where it either didn’t exist or was not discernible as such. In sodoing they give composure to a segment of the inarticulate environment in whichthey take their stand。

　　Another urge or needthat these gardens appear to respond to, or to arise from is so intrinsic thatwe are barely ever conscious of its abiding claims on us. When we are deprivedof green, of plants, of trees, (49)most of us give into a demoralization ofspirit which we usually blame on some psychological conditions, until one daywe find ourselves in garden and feel the expression vanish as if by magic. Inmost of the homeless gardens of New York City the actual cultivation of plantsis unfeasible, yet even so the compositions often seem to represent attempts tocall arrangement of materials, an institution of colors, small pool of water,and a frequent presence of petals or leaves as well as of stuffed animals. Ondisplay here are various fantasy elements whose reference, at some basic level,seems to be the natural world. (50)It is this implicit or explicit reference tonature that fully justifies the use of word garden though in a “liberated”sense, to describe these synthetic constructions. In them we can see biophilia-a yearning for contact with nonhuman life-assuming uncanny representationalforms。

　　46. yet when one looks at thephotographs of the gardens created by the homeless, it strikes one that, forall their diversity of styles, these gardens speak of various other fundamentalurges beyond that of decoration and creative expression。

　　47. A sacred place of peace,however, crude it may be, is a distinctly human need, as opposed to shelt whichis a distinctly animal need。

　　49 . Mast of us give in to ademoralization of spirit which we usually blame on some psychologicalconditions until one day we find ourselves in a garden and feel the oppressionvanish as if by magic

　　50. It is this implicit orexplicit reference to nature that fully justifies the use of the word garden,though in a “liberated” sense, to describe these synthetic constructions。
