Publisher's Synopsis
Frame social problems, and identify solutions, through the lens of politics
Revel(TM) Social Problems focuses on how people construct problems, and how they develop potential solutions, based on their political attitudes. Analyzing issues from liberal, radical-left, conservative, and libertarian points of view, author John Macionis encourages students to develop their own positions, and helps them attain the knowledge they need to engage in solving social problems through activism and political discussion. The Seventh Edition offers coverage of a range of hot-button contemporary social problems - from #BlackLivesMatter to increasing income inequality - to help students see the relevance of this field of study to their own lives.
