We are living in a world of swift social changes. Just reflect on how our society has changed because of the explosive growth of Internet use, the loss of U.S. jobs to labor cheap countries the enormous cost of bringing democracy to Iraq, the decline of inter-national respect for the United States, and the constant threat of 9/11-like terrorist attacks. The need to use sociology to understand these and numerous other changes around us is greater than ever. We will explore them in Society, Myths and Realities: An Introduction to Sociology. It is packed with up-to-date and useful information and new ideas from the latest sociological research.
