Description
Three award-winning authors and teachers of sociology set out to inspire students to develop their sociological imaginations in Our Social World. Focused on deep learning rather than memorization, this book encourages readers to think outside the box and see the relationship between the world and personal events from a new perspective, to confront sociological issues on a day-to-day basis and learn how to influence them. Organized around the "Social World Model," a conceptual framework that demonstrates the relationships among individuals (the micro level); organizations, institutions, and subcultures (the meso level); and societies and global structures (the macro level), students will develop the practice of using three levels of analysis, and to view sociology as an integrated, diversified whole, rather than a set of discrete subjects.
