A Determination of the Major Social Problems of American Life

"A Determination of the Major Social Problems of American Life" is a rigorous sociological study and historical analysis of the most pressing challenges facing the United States during the early 20th century. John A. Hockett employs a systematic approach to identify and categorize significant social, political, and economic issues by analyzing contemporary literature and public discourse. This work was foundational in defining the scope of social studies education and determining which societal concerns warranted the most attention from citizens and policymakers.

The text explores a diverse range of topics, including industrial relations, government efficiency, urban development, and civic responsibility. By providing a structured framework for understanding the complexities of American life in the late 1920s, Hockett offers a unique perspective on the priorities of the era and the evolving methodology of the social sciences. This volume serves as an essential resource for historians, sociologists, and those interested in the history of American education, providing deep insight into the institutional and cultural anxieties of a nation in transition.
