Description

This text presents a balanced treatment of three sociological perspectives: functionalism, conflict and social interactionism. Multi-cultural examples occur throughout, giving students a broad view of sociological analysis and relevance. Contemporary social policy sections are included to encourage students to think like sociologists; these sections focus on current and often controversial issues of public policy such as domestic violence and National Health insurance. Also included are chapter opening vignettes, boxed discussions, and policy sections. - from Amzon
