Help students view society from a conflict perspective
In Conflict and Order: Understanding Society prompts students to ponder 1 of the central questions of sociology: Who benefits from the existing customs and social order, and who does not? Authors D. Stanley Eitzen, Kelly Eitzen Smith and Maxine Baca Zinn offer a realistic appraisal of society from a conflict perspective. They lead students to think critically about social arrangements with an eye toward restructuring society along more humane lines.
The 15th Edition offers coverage of contemporary trends such as the changing economy to help students understand the state of social problems today.
