   Which essential societal influences construct and modify our existences as individuals and as elements of society? How does our societal environment mold us? In what manner do we mold our environment?
   Discover Sociology portrays sociology as a subject for inquisitive minds. The authors stimulate inquisitiveness about the societal realm and empower students by furnishing the theoretical, conceptual, and empirical resources they need to grasp, dissect, and even impact the world in which they exist.

   Structured around four primary motifs―The Societal Imagination, Authority and Disparity, Technological Reshaping of Society, and Globalization―the book elucidates the societal origins of multiple phenomena and establishments, ranging from destitution and transgression to capitalism and the atomic family. “Beyond the Statistics” characteristics demonstrate the pragmatic facet of sociology and demonstrate students how to be discerning assessors of social science statistics reported in the media. Each section deals with the query, “What is feasible with a sociology degree?” by bridging the knowledge and proficiencies acquired through sociology studies with specific employments and professional paths.
