From the Back Cover
Key Benefit: Have you ever wondered how some people become homeless, while others become presidents? Why people commit suicide? Or why women are treated as second-class citizens around the world? Sociology is for anyone who enjoys watching people, trying to ascertain why they act the way they do and how they got where they are. Opening the doors of society, sociology allows people to see what goes on behind them. This book will lead its readers to a new way of viewing the social world and their role in it.. Key Topics: This easy-to-read book begins by introducing the sociological perspective, then focuses on the topics of groups and social control, social inequality, economic and political factors affecting society, and social change. Throughout the book, the author emphasizes multiculturalism, gender, race, and technology. Among the subtopics explored within the book's new look at technology are the creation of electronic communities, how technology is used to control workers, gender and reproductive technology, technology and corporate downsizing, the Unabomber, distance learning, technology's effect on social class divisions, and technology and the maintenance of global domination. Market: Sociologists, teachers of sociology, and others interested in the topic.
