Sociology Australia, Third Edition (ePub/PDF) provides us with the necessary tools to comprehend our own lives and the lives of those around us. It challenges our common-sense perception of the world and allows us to explore the factors that shape our experiences.
In this widely-used and easily readable introductory textbook, authors Judith Bessant and Rob Watts guide us in developing a sociological perspective on current events in Australia. We are currently witnessing rapid and profound social changes that impact us all: globalization affects our economy and culture, advancements in technology accelerate the pace of life, and concerns about the erosion of traditional values and environmental and personal security are prevalent. By adopting a sociological lens, we gain insights into why different groups perceive these changes as exciting, unsettling, or even devastating.
The structure of Sociology Australia revolves around six key questions:
1. What is sociology?
2. Can we shape our lives according to our desires?
3. How do we acquire knowledge about the world we inhabit?
4. Who holds the power to make decisions that shape our society?
5. What transformations are occurring in Australia today?
6. How do we define our identity and how do we become who we are?
Sociology Australia, Third Edition serves as an excellent introduction to the field of sociology and the intricacies of contemporary Australian society. This 3rd edition of Sociology Australia has undergone significant revisions and updates, featuring new chapters on religion, education, and sustainability.
