Sociology gives us the tools we need to understand our life and the
lives of the people around us. It reveals that our commonsense view
of the world isn't always right, and enables us to find out what
actually shapes our experiences. In this widely used and very
readable introductory text, Judith Bessant and Rob Watts show us
how to develop a sociological perspective on what is happening in
Australia today. Rapid and far-reaching social changes are taking
place which affect us all: globalisation is impacting on our
economy and culture; technological developments increase the pace
of life; and many people worry about the decline of traditional
values and about environmental and personal security. Using a
sociological perspective we can explain why different groups of
people experience these changes as exciting, unsettling or
devastating. Sociology Australia is structured around six key
questions: * What is sociology? * Who are we and how do we come to
be who we are? * How do we know the world in which we live? * Can
we make our lives as we want them? * Who makes the decisions that
shape our society? * What changes are taking place in Australia
today? Sociology Australia is an ideal introduction to the
discipline of sociology and to the dynamics of Australian society
today. This third edition of Sociology Australia has been
substantially revised and updated, and includes new chapters on
religion, education and sustainability.
