Many young people today feel anxious about their economic future, unhappy with the government and political system, and worried about the state of the planet. Many feel overwhelmed, as if we were up against forces we can barely understand&mdash;much less control. That is where sociology comes in.&nbsp;A beginning course in sociology offers an introduction to the fascinating and very useful study of the social world. We all have a stake in understanding our world and doing all we can to improve it.</p><p style="margin:0px;"><br></p><p style="margin:0px;">Sociology is a field of study that can change the way students see the world and open the door to many new opportunities. The aim of&nbsp;<b><i>Society: The Basics, Seventh&nbsp;Canadian Edition</i></b>&nbsp;is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of how the social world works in an informative, engaging, and even entertaining way.</p>
