1: Why i decided to minor in sociology
This book is a great introductory reader in social problems. It is however biased and incomplete. The book leans more towards the conflict perspective than functionalism, which is fine for me because i can't stand functionalism but may not be fine for individuals who want extensive information on functionalism more than the same basic approach which every intro textbook seems to give. I also had problems with the incompleteness of this textbook. I found it relevant to today's problems but would have enjoyed more historiography in the book.
Gripes aside, this textbook is a great way to get introduced to the wonderful world of sociology. If you disagree with this text however, look at it this way, at least you learned a lot about conflict theory!

4: Book is good at explaining concepts
Got this book for my Sociology 101 class and it is fairly easy read and does at great job at explaining concepts. My teacher takes everything right from the book so if I study the book I will get an A. Great book though!!!!

5: Great introduction Text
Great work. I liked the more profound connection between the scientific study of sociology, theory, etc with social events and realities.
