I hope not to have treated them in a partisan manner and to have covered the great prospects of sociology in a fair but not indiscriminate way. My intention has been to offer an introduction to sociology that
presents the most innovative aspects of the field: sociology of the body, media communication, and popular culture. The sociology of education now has its own independent chapter. Copyright Information ----------

The book does not aim to present concepts openly sophisticated; however, ideas and conclusions from the edges of the discipline are incorporated throughout the text. I hope not to have treated them in a partisan
manner and to have covered the great prospects of sociology in a fair but not indiscriminate way. My intention has been to offer an introduction to sociology that presents the most innovative aspects of the field:

the original intent. Gender and social stratification are closely linked. Studies on social mobility show that downward mobility is common. In Britain, gender plays a significant role in social mobility. The concept
of a meritocratic society raises questions about the significance of social class. Poverty and social exclusion are interconnected issues. Measuring poverty is crucial to understanding who the poor are. Explaining
poverty requires considering various factors. Poverty's impact on social mobility is significant. Social exclusion can be seen in crime rates, among other examples. The welfare state aims to alleviate these issues,
but theories surrounding it vary. In the UK, the welfare state has evolved over time. As the world changes, poverty and welfare continue to intersect.
