SynopsisThe reader Seeing Social Problems: Readings on Contemporary Issues in the United States examines a wide array of social problems that currently exist in the United States and that impact every member of society. Designed to present the kind of information found in a standard textbook, but in an accessible, relatable, high-interest way, the text links the readings to real-world issues of the day. The carefully curated reading selections are organized into eight sections, each of which includes several articles. Topics include socioeconomic inequality and poverty, racial and ethnic inequality, gender inequality and homophobia, and crime. Students also explore social problems as they are manifested in medicine and health, families, and education, as well as environmental social problems. Each section begins with an introduction that features basic information and instructional content related to the topic. The chapter readings then provide a variety of perspectives. Developed to be specific and manageable in scope, while also increasing students' understanding of foundational concepts, Seeing Social Problems is well-suited to survey courses in sociology that focus on society's challenges., Examines a wide array of social problems that currently exist in the United States and that impact every member of society.
