This unique collection of readings introduces students to the foundational elements of sociology. Balancing classical sociological theory and more contemporary approaches, the text builds on this theoretical grounding to consider diverse issues in sociology. Topics include major social processes and social institutions such as families, education, work, health care, and media. Later sections address social class, gender and sexualities, and ethnicity and race. This thoroughly revised fourth edition includes an updated selection of readings and a new section exploring social movements, social change, and emerging fields. With an emphasis on Canadian content, Rethinking Society in the 21st Century is the ideal reader for Canadian students of sociology.
