About the Book
Sociology has long addressed some of the most pressing issues facing contemporary society, such as inequality, homelessness, violence, gender, and more. Sociologists assert that through empirical research, hypotheses can be tested, faulty viewpoints discarded, and credible theories can be distinguished from mere ideologies. This collection, written over a span of forty-four years, is presented with the belief that sociology is a science.
In Social Problems, Social Issues, Social Science, James D. Wright examines social problems that have notably impacted America, including homelessness, addiction, divorce, minimum wage, and gun control. The book begins with essays first published in the journal Society, offering a foundational understanding of these issues and the methods sociologists have used to study them. Wright then provides an updated re-examination of each issue, analyzing the changes over time and how sociologists have adapted their responses.
This book serves as both a retrospective of the field and a reflection on Wright's personal contributions. It describes the evolution of methods and theories used by social scientists to confront and understand America's most significant social problems.
