Raising ten important questions, (Why is there inequality in the world? and What does it mean to be human?), Charon examines how classical sociologists (Marx, Weber, Durkheim, Mead, Berger, and others) approach these important, timeless questions and how the field of sociology has approached them over the past 150 years. By describing the basic principles behind sociology, Charon encourages readers to think critically about their assumptions concerning their lives and society. The authors goal is for readers to realize how our thinking and actions are largely the result of the social context within which we live.
