Description
This text introduces sociology using the overall theme "The Great Social Transformation" to systematically highlight two aspects of social change. The first is the change from social life organized around personal, communal relations (as in more traditional societies) to social life organized around impersonal, associational relations (as in industrial and post-industrial societies). The second aspect concerns ongoing social change and the implications it has for life in the 21st century.
