Inhaltsangabe

This text uses sociological perspectives to examine the various dimensions of globalization, and the social problems of inequality, war and violence, and environmental sustainability that are occurring on a global scale.  Clear writing and vivid examples help students to better understand their role as global citizens.

 

The book is divided into three parts:

Part I focuses on  the challenges of global inequalities: in life chances, wages and work, gender and education. 

Part II focuses on conflict and violence at all levels: from crime to politics, terrorism to war.  

Part III focuses on the issue of sustainability and the problems of urbanization, crowding and environmental destruction.
