The Real World 8th Edition Kerry Ferris and Jill Stein 9780393887358 ebook

 

Instructors adopt―and stick with―The Real World because students love it. And students love it because it was written for them. In every chapter, Ferris and Stein use examples from everyday life, the media, and pop culture to get students thinking sociologically and to show the relevance of sociology to their relationships, jobs, and the future of society. Innovative and assignable Data Workshops in every chapter and online give students a chance to apply theoretical concepts to their own lives and actually do sociology. Expansive coverage of the Covid-19 pandemic throughout the Eighth Edition package highlights how the pandemic has affected all aspects of social life, from how we work and learn to the way we organize our family lives.
