The social sciences include: economics, anthropology, geography, sociology, political science, and psychology. I cannot imagine any educated person thinking these studies are useless.

Sociology is a big umbrella.
You think Criminology - which is subsect of Sociology - is useless? Understanding macro-crime trends, the psychology of deviance, long terms effects of a criminal justice system, etc. has no value in society?
What about social-psychology? Should we not study how macrotrends within our civilization - things like war, sports, art, etc. affect individual thinking?
Human ecology? Is there no value in understanding how our society affects our availability and use of resources and social progresses affect on other networks?
