Social Sciences include the study of economics, geography, history, political science, psychology, social studies, and sociology.

Like Comte, these figures did not consider themselves only "sociologists". Their works addressed religion, education, economics, law, psychology, ethics, philosophy, and theology, and their theories have been applied in a variety of academic disciplines. Their influence on sociology was foundational.
The Lord will not abandon his people. God, our Creator, we have those moments in life where we sometimes feel like you have abandoned us. Yet, we know you are with us always, until the end of time. Help us to value the gifts that are all-around us, to share the fruits of your presence with those we meet and to share the wonders of your creation with our brothers and sisters. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen
