Sociology offers fascinating insights into social life that tell us
so much about people and society. But what can we do with those
insights? How can we put them to good use? That is exactly what
this book is all about. It explores the practical value of
sociology, how sociological understanding can be of help in a
variety of settings. Neil Thompson's wealth of experience in using
sociology in practice comes shining through in this clearly written
and accessible text that succeeds in conveying complex ideas
without oversimplifying them. Key concepts are explained and clear
links are drawn with how the ideas can be used to inform
professional practice and cast light on a wide range of situations
across all sectors of working life, and in our personal lives too.
So, whether you are involved in the helping professions or any
other occupation where success depends on having a good
understanding of people; a student of sociology wanting to put your
learning into practice; or simply interested in how sociology can
help address social issues, this book offers a solid foundation of
understanding. It is an ideal text for anyone seeking to use
sociological ideas to make a positive difference.
