Exploring Social Relationships: A Workbook in Sociology

This unique workbook involves readers in “hands-on” practice with applying sociological concepts as tools for understanding the social world around them — both social institutions and social processes. A series of essays and accompanying exercises actively engages readers in the study of human situations and social behavior by having them collect familiar information and analyze it using the sociological perspective. The essays address contemporary social issues and problems, and span a range of topics.
