Our Social World: Introduction to Sociology

By Jeanne H. Ballantine, Keith A. Roberts, Kathleen O. Korgen, et al.

Book Overview

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 analyze, evaluate, and apply information about the social world; to see the connection between the world and personal events from a new perspective; and to confront sociological issues on a day-to-day basis. Each chapter is 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 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.

good book

Even though there were a couple of pencil marks and text was highlighted, it was a great book. Book came in on time, within a week, and overall book is wonderful.
