Sociology: An Introduction

by StephenMoore (Author)

Synopsis

This is an introduction to sociology, suitable for students encountering the subject for the first time. Sociology is the study of human beings as individuals and the society we live in. It tackles issues which form the centre of our lives, such as the family, education and employment. Learning more about sociology can help us understand the social forces which constrain us, and empowers us to take control of our own lives. This title covers the theories and methods of sociology and the social divisions, including class, gender, race, age and ability. It also deals with the changing nature of the family, the media and its influence, power and politics, and crime and devience. It addresses the subjects of work, unemployment and leisure, the education system and the welfare state, including poverty and health.
