Through a collection of carefully curated readings, this text helps readers better understand cultural variations in social interaction, the development of self, the formation of families and communities, the processes that produce conformity or deviance, and the conditions that lead to conflict and social change.
Learning About Sociology and the Sociological Imagination invites students to develop a sociological perspective by identifying and considering the links between individual experiences, the current social context, and the past. Through a collection of carefully curated readings, the text helps readers better understand cultural variations in social interaction, the development of self, the formation of families and communities, the processes that produce conformity or deviance, and the conditions that lead to conflict and social change.
The anthology familiarizes students with theories and methods of sociology and then challenges them to apply what they've learned to explore the influence of race, class, gender, ethnicity, and age on the human experience. The book features a distinct focus on the social problems of our time, including racial inequality, the problematic nature of the gender binary, social violence, drug and substance abuse, issues related to punishment in society, and more. The text also explores the ways in which these challenges are perceived and dealt with in society.
Learning About Sociology and the Sociological Imagination inspires students to critically examine contemporary issues and to better understand their individual place within society. The anthology is an excellent resource for foundational courses in sociology.
