商品簡介
Most social-problems textbooks survey a wide range of problems, says Goldberg, but she provides opportunity for a deeper immersion into a selection of problems that students will face as they move through the 21st century and that can be clarified by an sociological perspective. After an introductory section on understanding social problems as social crises, she covers fossil fuels and climate change; child soldiers, human trafficking, and genocide; obesity, HIV/AIDS, and health care reform; terrorism and its aftermath; and privacy and identity.
