3. The Human Community: Summarized, by Jeanne H. Ballantine, Keith A. Roberts, and Kathleen Odell Korgen, encourages you to enhance your sociological perspectives, to perceive society and personal experiences from a fresh angle, and to confront social challenges daily. The acclaimed author team structures the content around the “Community” model, a conceptual framework showcasing the interactions among individuals (the micro level); organizations, institutions, and subcultures (the meso level); and societies and global frameworks (the macro level). Applying the Community Model across sections (illustrated in a visual diagram at the beginning of each chapter) assists you in mastering the practice of utilizing three tiers of analysis, and in acknowledging sociology as a cohesive entity, rather than a collection of isolated subjects.

   The Summarized version is adapted from The Human Community: Introduction to Sociology. The 6th Edition of the Summarized version is condensed by around 30% from the full edition through the exclusion of specific sections, editing of the main narrative, and merging of four chapters into two (Family/Education, and Government/Economy).
