Book Description:
|
This book is a thoughtful examination of the discipline of sociology from a humanistic perspective. It contends that dispassionate observation and analysis are not enough; rather, sociologists must actively challenge views and conditions that restrain human potential. Scimecca examines society, culture, roles, social stratification, and inequality, institutions, legitimacy, and authority.
