"Rethinking Society in the 21st Century, second edition, is a unique reader that students will keep on their bookshelves for many years after they have finished their introductory course in sociology. The book maps out the concepts sociologists use to understand the foundations of society - socialization, social interaction, and culture. It then covers major social institutions: families, economy and labour, education, health, and health care. Crime, moral regulation, and social justice are presented in ways that allow students to develop new understandings of these issues. Essays on population, globalization, and the New World Order complete this well-rounded introduction to Canadian and global society." "This book's pronounced emphasis on Canadian content makes it the ideal reader for the Canadian student. The addition of critical thinking questions, suggestions for further reading, and many other extras found in the text will be of great value in learning the basics of sociological thought."--BOOK JACKET.
