Descripción Paperback. Condición: Good. 302 pages. Cover worn and fadedTwo main criteria have guided the selection and presentation of the material for this text-book . Firstly, there is the claim that sociology is a science. Throug hout, the emphasis has been on presenting sociological perspectiv es rather than conveying a mass of factual information. Science i s essentially analytical. And sociology, if it is to justify its claim to be a science, must be more than simply 'political arithm etic', counting heads and providing demographic data for governme nts. Secondly, science, like other intellectual activities, can b e exciting. The emphasis throughout is on the sociological study of industrial society, with particular reference to modern Englan d. After an introductory discussion of sociological perspectives, there are chapters on each of the major sub-systems of society; the family, the educational system, the economy, the political sy stem and belief systems. The book ends with three chapters on maj or social social differentiation and stratification, organization , and finally, social change, including a discussion of deviancy and disorganization.
