Examine social problems through the lenses of race, class, gender, and inequality
Social Problems in a Diverse Society focuses on the significance of social inequality, race, class, and gender as key factors in understanding problems in the U.S. and worldwide. Author Diana Kendall makes the study of social problems interesting and relevant to today’s students through authentic first-person accounts, up-to-date topics, and contemporary examples. The 7th Edition has been updated to include Social Media and Social Problems boxes that shed light on the ways that social media impacts social problems today, as well as new learning objectives that guide students through the text.
