Social Problems of the Modern World: A Reader

This reader uses a global approach and uses examples drawn from other countries of the world. However, this book's focus is on the United States and the social problems that exist in this country. At least half of the articles in each chapter focus on the U.S. This book is designed to help readers gain a deeper understanding of how social problems faced by people in the United States and around the world are increasingly shaped by our common fate in this interconnected world.
