Fully revised and updated, the fourth edition of Social Sciences:
The Big Issues explores key debates about how we live our personal,
domestic and emotional lives at a time of enormous, previously
unimaginable change and disruption, including a pandemic that
locked down households and economies. Since the third edition,
everyone's life has changed. The pandemic - at least temporarily -
stopped social life as we knew it and virtually forced governments
to close down their economies. This is where this edition of The
Big Issues starts. Staying at home posed a radical departure from
routine life, but reactions to Covid-19 have exposed the endurance
of particular social relations - especially inequalities - which
characterize societies worldwide. A few of the new big issues
covered in this edition include: Changing selves and personal lives
in light of racism and sexual and identity politics in a pandemic
Changing patterns of consumption in relation to market production
and what it means for climate change Changing intersections of
citizenship, migration and globalization in the context of the
virus crossing borders, and both the opportunities and sources of
inequality involved Changing ideas about power, politics and
populism in the aftermath of Brexit Building on the strong
foundation of this well-loved text, this fully revised fourth
edition explores how big issues and social forces intersect to
create both change and evidence of continuity, especially of social
inequalities. It provides a clear, accessible introduction to the
ideas and approaches of the social sciences across a range of
disciplines, including sociology, psychology and politics.
