The book deals with the growing number of serious social problems like homelessness violence drug abuse and poverty which have increased dramatically in recent years. An increasing portion of the population is living in persistent poverty and millions of men women and children go without adequate medical care. A growing sense of powerlessness and disenfranchisement is being experienced in varying degrees by people all over the world. Thus the social problems and their concomitant human distress have been escalating. The social and economic problems confronting people today are debilitating. They sap energy and destroy morale. Yet problems can be solved if people learn to act collectively. The present publication attempts to present a sociological study with vision. The meticulously collected and collated articles essays comments and excerpts constitute one of the most comprehensive insights into the contemporary problems of society and inevitable social change. 245 pp.
