Consciousness and the Study of Society: Towards a New Perspective
on Sociology introduces students to the fundamentals of sociology
while also emphasizing the idea that perceptions based on one's
level of consciousness shape the world in which we live. The text
is organized into five distinct sections. The chapters in Unit 1
discuss the theoretical, analytical, and methodological groundwork
for the study of sociology, including a brief consideration of the
human constitution. Unit 2 examines the basic ideas that underscore
sociology including culture, society, socialization, and how we
make sense of everyday life. In Unit 3, students learn about issues
of social identity that can perpetuate social differentiations and,
at times, conflict between groups. These chapters cover social
stratification and class, race, ethnicity, gender, deviance and
social control, and sexuality. Unit 4 investigates the six primary
social structures that provide the foundation of any society:
family, politics, economics, religion, education, and health and
medicine. The final unit looks to the future, proposing that
upheavals in our current society will lead to an evolution of our
society and a new cycle of human experience. Compelling,
comprehensive, and designed to help students better understand
themselves and the world around them, Consciousness and the Study
of Society is an excellent textbook for foundational courses in
sociology.
