From the Back Cover
A realistic, applied paperback text that is theoretically balanced, offers global perspectives, shows how sociology is applied to real problems, and contains an expanded built-in study guide.
This introduction to sociology uses the three major theoretical perspectives— functionalist, conflict, and interactionist—as tools for examining the social world. The author shows how society works and how human behavior is shaped by cultural, structural, and institutional forces, using illuminating examples. As in previous editions, the Sixth Edition also integrates two other themes that reflect some contemporary trends in sociology: the reemergence of interest in how sociological knowledge can be applied to social problems or to helping people improve their lives, and the recognition that societies and cultures are becoming increasingly diverse and interdependent.
