Beschreibung

A Short Reader for Enriching Principles of Sociology presents students with a carefully curated selection of readings that demonstrate how introductory concepts in sociology are applied in real-world contexts, including students' own lives. The book is divided into two distinct parts. The first part introduces students to foundational concepts in sociology, including human history, the principles we believe shape the way societies are formed, and broad ideas and concepts that govern our social relationships. The second part focuses on how principles of sociology can help students better understand our society. Dedicated readings explore the intersection of class, race, and gender as a means of closely examining human behavior. Throughout, critical thinking questions encourage further consideration and retention of the material. A Short Reader for Enriching Principles of Sociology features a unique focus on how sociology can be applied in students' everyday lives. It challenges students to question concepts and situations through a sociological lens. The text is ideal for introductory courses in sociology.
