New Society 8th Edition Brym Test Bank

New Society brings together a well-respected team of expert contributors from across Canada to answer the question “Why Sociology?” The job of figuring out what to do with our lives and how to act in the world is more difficult than ever. Sociology helps by analyzing the pressing social issues of the day, showing how those issues affect all of us, and setting out options for dealing with them. Moreover, sociology views social issues from a unique disciplinary perspective. All in all, it is a controversial and exciting discipline. Social problems are typically complex. The options for action often involve different benefits and disadvantages for different groups. Sociologists often see things differently than other social and natural scientists. Not surprisingly, therefore, sociology, like any vibrant academic discipline, involves a lot of heated debate. New Society brings sociology to life by highlighting social issues that are of real, everyday concern to Canadian undergraduates. It encourages students to critically approach topics in social issues, so they can intellectually form their own conclusions. Inspire your sociology classroom with New Society, Eighth Edition.
