Social Problems: Societal Crisis, Capitalism, and Democracy is an
anthology that offers students a variety of readings on prominent
social problems. The selections feature perspectives from those who
have contributed to modern social problems, as well as those who
have no power over shaping them. Through this unique approach, the
text demonstrates that social problems are two-fold, benefiting
some while creating obstacles for others. The selected articles
identify social problems, social inequalities, institutionalized
inequalities, social and physical exploitation, the neglected, and
violence and terrorism, not only in the U.S. but worldwide.
Students are exposed to important discussions on social movement
theories, how financial inequality negatively affects the world,
and how individuals can get involved to correct the world's social
problems. Throughout the text, readers are provided with historical
context for each social problem addressed so they can deduce if
these problems are as serious now as they were in the past. In the
second edition, all readings have been updated to reflect current
socio-political events, and new readings on social media and fake
news, media literacy, and the Black Lives Matter movement have been
added. Additionally, all units feature a revised original
introduction from the editor Social Problems is ideal for
undergraduate courses in sociology and anthropology, as well as
classes in cognate fields such as policy and political science.
