A Sociological Worldview: Essentials of Sociology introduces students to the complex layers of human society through the lens of sociology. The book explores the multifaceted aspects of social life from a sociological perspective, beginning with an understanding of societal structures and patterns of behavior, and extending to the examination of how individual experiences are shaped by cultural context and social forces. The text is structured around key sociological concepts, including cultural norms, socialization, social stratification, and institutions such as family, education, health care, and economy. It examines the development of sociological thought and its application in analyzing various levels of society-from individual interactions to global systems. Topics such as gender, race, ethnicity, as well as contemporary concerns like climate change and population dynamics, are also addressed through the interplay of theoretical perspectives and empirical research. A Sociological Worldview is ideal for courses in sociology that emphasize a global outlook on social dynamics. Students enrolled in introductory courses will gain foundational knowledge, while those in more specific fields, such as social theory or cultural studies, can deepen their understanding of society's complexities.
Evelyn Reynolds is a scholar-activist and an associate professor of sociology at Parkland College, where she teaches courses on diversity, gender, social problems, marriages, families, and aging. She holds a master's degree in sociology from Illinois State University.
