Title overview

Sociology provides students with the opportunity to connect their own lived experiences to a broader societal context. One of the hopes of the authors is that students will find that the topics addressed in this book relate to their own lives. The textbook addresses many of the pressing concerns facing Canadians and global citizens in the twenty-first century. For more than 150 years, sociologists have been working to better understand how society operates. Sociologists may not have all the answers, but we have learned quite a lot. A beginning course in sociology is your introduction to the fascinating and very useful study of the world around you. After all, we all have a stake in understanding our world and, as best we can, improving it.
