Discover Sociology 4th edition (PDF/AZW3/ePub) presents sociology as a discipline of curious minds. The authors inspire curiosity about the social world and empower students by providing the theoretical, conceptual, and empirical tools they need to understand, analyze, and even change the world in which they live.
Organized around 4 main themes—The Sociological Imagination, Technological Transformations of Society, Power and Inequality, and Globalization—the ebook illuminates the social roots of diverse phenomena and institutions, ranging from capitalism and the nuclear family to poverty and deviance. “Behind the Numbers” features illustrate the practical side of sociology and shows college students how to be critical consumers of social science data reported in the media. And every chapter addresses the question, “What can I do with a sociology degree?” by linking the knowledge and skills acquired through studying sociology with specific jobs and career paths.
