Three award-winning authors and teachers of sociology, Jeanne H. Ballantine, Keith A. Roberts, and Kathleen Odell Korgen, set out to inspire students to develop their sociological imaginations in Our Social World . Focused on deep learning rather than memorization, this book encourages readers analyze, evaluate and apply information about the social world; to see the connection between the world and personal events from a new perspective; and to confront sociological issues on a day-to-day basis. Each chapter is organized around the "Social World Model", a conceptual framework that demonstrates the relationships among individuals (the micro level); organizations, institutions, and subcultures (the meso level); and societies and global structures (the macro level). Students develop the practice of using three levels of analysis, and to view sociology as an integrated, diversified whole, rather than a set of discrete subjects.
