Introducing Sociology makes the learning of the foundations of sociology fun and easy in a easy-to-listen book. Through this book, you will gain an understanding of the dynamic forces that shape personalities and socialize people into the larger culture within which we live. With a modern take, you’ll not only learn about how traditional institutions such as the family and schools shape society but also come away informed about how mass media, including social media networks like Facebook and YouTube, are socializing our children and providing new means of interpersonal mass communication never seen before.

Learn the foundational principles that lie behind sociology including:

  • The history of sociology and key figures in its early development.
  • The key role of the immediate family as the primary agent of socialization.
  • How children are socialized into the larger society.
  • The role played by the secondary family as an agent of civilization.
  • Mass communication and old and new mass media.
  • The growing role of social media networks as agents of socialization.
  • How technology is changing mass media.
  • Youth culture and the importance of peer groups.
  • Schools, education, and society, and the three main sociological theories of education.

I appreciated how he broke down beliefs systems with unabashed criticisms. As well as paying homage to the benefits they provide to our societies. I found myself losing interest around chapter 15 only because I knew there were so many more to go and the material was quite dense. But I was rewarded for forging on.

There are some gems in the book that I think everyone should spend time with, even if only to better understand why you differ in view. Good book. Highly recommend it.

Another brilliant book from Paul!

Tragedy of the commons has just gone global, and danger looms if we don’t act sensibly. Understanding our cognitive dissonance, and biases, and accepting we are part of a global community is something discussed in a convincing manner.

Awesome elaboration on Sociology

As a written book, Ciccarelli's passion comes through much more profoundly and effectively than the audio book's narration communicates. If the author had read her own work for this audio-book, the overall delivery would have been a solid, five-star work of compelling excellence.

Authored with great passion

The creator includes a excellent dialog of the common misinterpretation that human science is the think about of social issues. but or maybe to clarify the strategies and approaches that characterize human science as a teach and an range of mental request. I'll suggesting it to all of others curiously in purposes.

Perfect to influence others to explore.

Fun, insightful, and introspective. From the past to the future, Paul makes some fun predictions. Some seem a little wild, but it's full of reflection and concern for humanity. Such a good book that really dives into modern conflicts and makes the listener imagine the new dilemma that will face in our lifetime.

Brilliantly elaborate with perfect example!

Absolutely mind blowing book. Challenges every truth we ever believed in. After listening it I feel like I now need to reassess my life goals and ideologies. I enjoyed listening this book very much and would recommend it to anyone who wants to get a different opinion from the traditional one - whether liberal or conservative.

Deep insights into reality & present affairs.
