What will be an ideal response?
The four disciplines are anthropology, economics, political science, and psychology. Anthropology focuses on tribal peoples and culture, a total way of life. Economics studies the production and distribution of goods and services of a society. Political science focuses on politics and its influence on governments, the way they are formed, and how they relate to other institutions in society. The focus of psychology is on the processes that occur within the individual, inside the "skin bound organism."
