Description
The Second Canadian edition ofSocial Problems in a Diverse Societyfocuses in particular on the significance of ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, class, and gender in the examination of the causes of social problems. People, especially those from marginalized groups, are shown not merely as "victims", but as individuals who resist discrimination and inequality and seek to bring about change in families, schools, workplaces, and society at large. Four primary sociological perspectives (conflict, feminist, interactionist, and functionalist) are employed in every chapter. The authors invite students to analyze in a practical manner how social policy reflects the various interests and values of stakeholders involved, both in Canada and globally. The new 13 chapter organization and reduced length improves the fit for one-semester courses, and the revised interior design increases accessibility. Current census material and improved boxed features will help students understand and apply their knowledge to the social world in which we live. Students will find this text an interesting and informative introduction to a mind-opening field of study.
