Lingkup Pembahasan:
Buku ini membahas Masalah Sosial yang muncul seperti yang kita saksikan sebagai gejolak besar dan perubahan revolusioner di dunia Arab, nuklir bencana di Jepang, dan kebuntuan politik di Amerika Serikat.
Beberapa bab pertama buku ini berfokus pada perilaku yang relatif individu, seperti penggunaan narkoba dan kejahatan. Buku ini juga mengemukakan Lembaga-lembaga sosial dan faktor-faktor lain yang mempengaruhi perilaku. Bab-bab di tengah berfokus pada ketidaksetaraan dan diskriminasi,
mendiskusikan topik-topik seperti kemiskinan, prasangka, seksisme, dan ageism. setiap upaya
telah dibuat untuk menunjukkan efek diskriminasi besar-besaran pada individu, serta untuk menangani konsep ketidaksetaraan dilembagakan. Kemudian juga membahas masalah yang umum bagi banyak masyarakat, seperti yang berkaitan dengan kehidupan keluarga dan bekerja. Bab-bab akhir populasi dan imigrasi, pencemaran lingkungan, serta perang dan terorisme berfokus pada hal-hal penting secara global. Sepanjang buku ini, bagaimanapun, upaya telah dilakukan untuk menunjukkan bagaimana
masalah yang berbeda tumpang tindih dan saling terkait. Dalam edisi ini kami telah dieliminasi
bab terpisah yang ditujukan khusus untuk masalah-masalah sosial perkotaan, tetapi kita telah membahas masalah ini dalam bab-bab lain.
