Sociology, Exploring the Architecture of Everyday Life: Readings underscores the "architecture" of social life—how we, as social beings, are always building and rebuilding our social environment. This anthology includes a range of styles and examples that reflect common experiences and phenomena; important social issues and problems; the relationship between the individual and society; and a sociological perspective on specific historic events. Each set of readings, organized around a specific theme, is preceded by an introduction that provides a sociological context and followed by a set of discussion questions.The new Eleventh Edition includes several new readings that convey the best in critical contemporary sociology with an eye toward current social issues such as women’s incarceration; immigration issues in families; transgender experiences; and links between poverty, race and crime, social class and achievement, government corruption, college and dating life, teen sexuality, LGBTQ social movements, and Black Lives Matter.
