About this title

Synopsis

This new dictionary includes additional concepts, terms, and names than in the previous version in my continuing effort to make this dictionary fully comprehensive and useful for sociology students. The use of this dictionary is designed to help students master the vocabulary used in the scientific discipline of sociology. I believe that an enhanced understanding of the vocabulary used by sociologists in their quest to discover social facts leads to a better understanding of the discipline by students.It is not easy to compile a dictionary of sociological terms, concepts, and processes because the discipline is a living discipline unlike some other scientific areas of study. For instance, geologists might discover more components of a rock than previously thought, but the rock is still a rock and has not changed. Sociology on the other hand, by being a living discipline is always evolving—terms, theories, and processes come and go as the discipline adapts to the changing social world. Because of this, this dictionary is ever-changing.
