Overview

This concise overview has been carefully designed to encourage students to think critically about today's most pressing social issues. The text combines clear, cogent writing with a uniquely thorough treatment of the three major theoretical perspectives, which challenges students to explore each topic. "Personal Perspectives" boxes engage students with riveting first-person testimonies by individuals directly affected by specific social problems. "Debates" on controversial issues and informative graphics further focus the topics and help students visualize the complex nature of society's problems. Finally, "Signs of Hope" boxes highlight the positive trends and developments occurring within society and provide valuable information about what can be done to ameliorate these important problems in today's society.
