Understanding Social Problems, tenth Edition, progresses from a micro to macro level of analysis, focusing first on problems related to health care, drugs and alcohol, families, and crime, and then broadening to the larger issues of poverty and inequality, population growth, aging, environmental problems, and conflict around the world.

The social problem in each chapter is framed in a global as well as a U. In addition, the three major theoretical perspectives are applied to the problem under discussion, and its consequences -- as well as alternative solutions -- are explored.

Pedagogical features such as 'The Human Side' and 'Self and Society' enable students to grasp how social problems affect the lives of individuals and apply their understanding of social problems to their own lives.

I'm frightened that they are training people for careers in this field. Wish I had a 'no star' option. What's also notable here is the amount of politics that sneak into this book.

Comments are made- on purpose or in passing- on factory farming, the importance of internet regulation, and many other issues that are just finished this book for my social problems class. Comments are made- on purpose or in passing- on factory farming, the importance of internet regulation, and many other issues that are only defined as 'social problems' if the term is very, very loose.

Although not a republican myself, I began to feel sorry for any in my class. I will include the following quote, found near the beginning of the book. Maybe it doesn't disturb you, but I found it very frightening: " Rampant individualism does not bring with it sweet freedom; rather, it explodes in our faces and limits life's potential. Granted, we need to watch our for our fellow man, try not to pollute, and generally consider ourselves part of a community.

But I hate the deeper message in this rather long paragraph: that individual thought is the wrong choice, and freedom is a bad thing. I, for one, want to see MORE out of the box thinking out there.. I won't comment on the class- that's another discussion for somewhere else- but this book killed what little faith I had left in experts, and failed to dazzle me with insight on any level. Hopefully sociologists have more to offer than this book suggests. Sep 26, Patty Powers rated it it was amazing.

I'm glad they've updated it to include sections on homosexuality, gender identity, and rights. There's also a large new section on war, conflict, and terrorism. It's a great book for anyone interested in society and current events I'm glad they've updated it to include sections on homosexuality, gender identity, and rights. It's a great book for anyone interested in society and current events This is a textbook I had to use for my Problems of Modern Society class.

But a textbook is still a book.
