Introducing Sociology makes the learning of the foundations of sociology fun and easy in a easy-to-listen book. Through this book, you will gain an understanding of the dynamic forces that shape personalities and socialize people into the larger culture within which we live. With a modern take, you’ll not only learn about how traditional institutions such as the family and schools shape society but also come away informed about how mass media, including social media networks like Facebook and YouTube, are socializing our children and providing new means of interpersonal mass communication never seen before.

- The key role of the immediate family as the primary agent of socialization.
- How children are socialized into the larger society.
- The role played by the secondary family as an agent of civilization.
- Mass communication and old and new mass media.
- The growing role of social media networks as agents of socialization.
- How technology is changing mass media.

The view of sociology
The author has a beautiful discussion of the common misconception that sociology is the study of social problems. but rather to explain the methods and approaches that define sociology as a discipline and an area of intellectual inquiry. In this, the book can be helpful and applied in any field of life.

Exactly what I was looking for Sociology..
I found this to be a short, yet fascinating insight into sociology. It explored the main themes well in the limited space that this format allows and as well as slightly more informed and with a hunger to learn more. a very large introduction, but perfect to test the waters of sociology to see if I want to listen pursue it further.

Requirement in Experience
I wanted a general knowledge of the discipline of sociology, and I have got it in this audiobook! I felt like I finished this audiobook with an understanding of what exactly this social science is concerned with, how they go about doing their research, and some of the significant findings over its history. It was easy listening, all things considered.

"sociological practice"
This book is a well-thought-out and introduction to sociological practice. Although he does provide examples of both particular and general topics that sociology investigates, the author is explicit that his intention is not to listen to various issues or problems sociologists study. I think this audiobook can be very helpful.

Have a discussion with your friends!
This book summarizes homo sapiens and homo deus while providing us with projections into the future, which is bleak to say the least. Maybe it is time to read some of Dickens’. Maybe we all turn out to be luddites at a certain stage in our lifetimes. I like this writer, pushing me to acknowledge I have no idea what will happen to us all.

It works as describes!
Fantastic organized and straightforward. Tension is where one is in a vexed condition of apprehension. It is a condition of unfortunate sentiments of dread or vulnerability over the future like the sentiment of impending passing. Overall great to listened.

Better describes to Introduce Sociology
Just to compare with my personal theory and finally found this audiobook quite awesome. You can learn a lot. Not very deep in psycho-sociology for pros, but for beginners more than ok. Recommended!

Very Resourceful Book.
This voice book helps me to Introduce to Sociology. It can open the door of a totally new world – or maybe a better description is like you have special glasses and you had to see why situations happen.
