| | Class number: | 301.22 | | Abstract: | "Sociology"- the third edition of Fulcher and Scott remains an authoritative and theoretically-ground text for the 'thinking student', providing an intelligent exploration of topical debates that challenge first year students to think for themselves. The book investigates different forms of social inequality, cultural diversity and the processes contributing to social change in a thorough and provocative way, while introducing students to the main methods of sociological research and a range of original writing in the discipline. The text includes major new sections on organised crime and international crime; childhood, ageing and the life course; disability as a social division; and the impact of the Internet and information technologies on social life, to support changes to the first year curriculum. It goes further to introduce a wider range of international comparisons from around the world and provide an increased number of a case examples based on historical and global themes. The concept of the 'sociological imagination' is addressed in depth to demonstrate for students the difference between 'common sense' thinking and 'sociological' thinking, and help them approach sociological problems critically and develop skills in argument. Additionally, the text has been sectioned in such as way as to clearly amplify the links between chapter topics and the common themes that cut across social divisions, to help students approach social issues from a number of diverse view points. | | Contents note: | THinking sociologicaly: Theory and methods; What is sociology?; Theories and theorizing; Methods and research; Socialization, identity, and interaction; Sex, gender, and sexuality; Racial and ethnic identities; Crime and deviance; Body, health, and medicine; Education; Communication and the media; Religion, belief, and meaning; Family and life course; Cities and community; Organization, management, and control; The state, social policy and welfare; Globalization; Work, employment, and leisure; Inequality, poverty, and wealth; Stratification, class, and status; Power, division, and protest; | | Record link: | https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=13832 |
