Social Problems

Social Problems: Sociology in Action, Third Edition is ideal for teachers who want to provide students with an active learning experience that relies less on lecturing and more on discussion, collaboration, and self-directed investigation. Editors Maxine P. Atkinson and Kathleen Odell Korgen offer concrete ways to make use of sociological training in the "real" world by considering sociological solutions to a range of social problems and issues facing society today. Social Problems is one of the volumes in our "Sociology in Action" (SIA) series of undergraduate sociology texts. The two signature features of this series are (1) a set of carefully developed and assignable learning activities in each chapter; and (2) chapters contributed by authors who are both experts in their subjects and committed to the kind of active learning promoted by the SIA texts. This text is offered in Sage Vantage, an intuitive learning platform that integrates quality Sage textbook content with assignable multimedia activities and auto-graded assessments to drive student engagement and ensure accountability. Unparalleled in its ease of use and built for dynamic teaching and learning, Vantage offers customizable LMS integration and best-in-class support. Instructors, see how Vantage works!
