3. REMINDER: This book is a standalone book and will not include any access codes. This completely revised edition of Mooney, Knox, and Schacht’s text utilizes a theoretically balanced, student-centered approach to offer a comprehensive exploration of social challenges. COMPREHENSION OF SOCIAL CHALLENGES, Tenth Edition, advances from a micro to macro level of examination, emphasizing initially on challenges associated with healthcare, drugs and alcohol, families, and crime, and then expanding to the broader issues of poverty and inequality, population growth, aging, environmental challenges, and conflict around the world. The social challenge in each chapter is presented in a global as well as a U.S. context. Furthermore, the three major theoretical perspectives are applied to the challenge under discussion, and its consequences — as well as alternative solutions — are explored. Pedagogical features such as “The Human Side” and “Self and Society” enable students to grasp how social challenges affect the lives of individuals and apply their comprehension of social challenges to their own lives.
