À propos de cet audio
Understand how society works - and how to make it better
It's impossible to exist in the contemporary world without being aware that powerful social forces, ideas, and movements - #MeToo, climate change, and Black Lives Matter, to name just a few - are having far-reaching impacts on how we think and live. But why are they happening? And what are their likely effects? The new edition of Sociology for Dummies gives you the tools to step back from your personal experience and study these questions objectively, testing the observable phenomena of the human world against established theories and making usable sense of the results.
In a friendly, jargon-free style, sociologist and broadcaster Jay Gabler introduces you to sociology's history and basic methods, and - once you have your sociological lens adjusted - makes it clear how to survey the big questions of culture, gender, ethnicity, religion, politics, and crime with new eyes. You'll find everything you need to succeed in an introductory sociology class as well as to apply sociological ideas to give you extra insight into your personal and professional lives.

Has potential but needs a good editor!
The author of this book seems sincere and knowledgable, but the first chapter is so full of unnecessary information, repetition, and gerneral fluff that I gave up. He took so long telling me what he's going to tell me, why he's telling me, why it's important to me, why I should read it, and where I can find it in the book, that i simply ran out of patience. The first rule of good prose is to get rid of all unnecessary words and I'd guess that three-quarters of his words were unnecessary. It's quite a disappointment, because underlying all the empty chit chat, I suspect there is some interesting and useful information. I just don't have time to wade through all the extraneous matter to find it. I can see why it was free. Worth every penny.
