About the Book

Viewing our society from a conflict perspective.   This introductory text, written from a conflict perspective, emphasizes four themes: diversity, the struggle by the powerless to achieve social justice, the changing economy, and globalization. In Conflict and Order: Understanding Society studies the forces that lead to stability and change in society and asks: Who benefits from the existing social arrangements, and who does not? How are human beings shaped by society? What are the forces that maintain social stability, produce social inequality, and resist social change?   Teaching & Learning Experience This program will provide a better teaching and learning experience–for you and your students. Here’s how: Improve Critical Thinking — Students are encouraged to critically evaluate social sources of behavior and conflict. Engage Students — The author provides examples of those who have been empowered to achieve positive social change. Explore Theory — A conflict perspective is used to examine social structures. Understand Diversity — This text examines economic global transformations in the U.S., the struggle to achieve social justice, and the inclusion of race, class, and gender. Support Instructors —  Instructor’s Manual & Test Bank, and PowerPoint presentations are available.
