| dc.description | Society in Focus is designed to help students think clearly and critically about sociological issues, concepts, and methods. Questioning is at the heart of this approach, and as students read this book they are encouraged to become part of the sociological enterprise—rather than remain passive observers. Every element of the text is designed to challenge students to evaluate social issues and, guided by the sociological imagination, to clearly formulate their own positions. By asking questions that demand sociological and creative thought, we want to remind students that their conclusions and decisions, as well as their nondecisions and inaction, may have important social consequences. The following features have been chosen to help students achieve these goals. | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | These are exciting and challenging times for sociologists and sociology students alike. There is a growing consensus on campuses and in society that many traditional approaches to understanding our social world are no longer very useful. Changing times require new emphases in textbooks. In this Seventh Edition of Society in Focus, we emphasize how society and social forces affect everything from international policies to our everyday lives. This makes the subject matter of this book seemingly familiar and ordinary. | en_US |
