Overview
Social Problems focuses on how people construct problems, and how they develop potential solutions, based on their political attitudes. Encouraging readers to develop their own positions, author John Macionis helps you attain the knowledge to engage in solving social problems through activism and political discussion.
The 9th Edition has been updated to reflect the events, trends and policy changes that are transforming society. Contemporary topics include the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the transgender revolution’s impact on how we think about sex and gender. An updated chapter wholly dedicated to social media emphasizes how this important form of communication and culture impacts society.
