Book Synopsis
Contemporary Social Problems and Your World: An Anthology provides students with engaging and enlightening readings that help them better understand what sociology is, how social problems emerge in society, the ways inequality impacts people, and the forces that enable social change.

The anthology is organized into thematic units that introduce sociological concepts as they relate to social problems. In Unit One, students are introduced to sociological thought and the ways social problems are constructed through social actors. Unit Two focuses on sociological theory and core concepts, helping readers understand how social problems operate. In Unit Three, students examine how aspects of inequality, including homelessness, poverty, gender, and race, affect society. In Unit Four, students are encouraged to explore how social change happens and how we can move to a more equitable future.

Designed to help students examine their place in the world through exploring the interrelationships between history, political structures, institutional power, culture, and individual agency, Contemporary Social Problems and Your World is an ideal anthology for introductory courses in sociology.
