addresses issues relating to our rapidly changing society, social
structure, and communication needs. In doing so, it addresses major
issues in sociology that inform virtually all of a student’s
course work.
* Introduces students to concepts of the self and society in an
age of rapid technology and high speed communication
* Examines the relationship between everyday life and social
structure in key domains of communication, personality,
work/family, leisure and entertainment, and economics
* Written in a lively, engaging style for readers without a
sociological background
