Sociology A Down-to-earth Approach

If you like to watch people and try to figure out why they do what they do, you will like sociology. Sociology pries open doors of society, so you can see what goes on behind them. In this book, you will especially see how social class sets us on a better path in life, how in one direction they lead to better health, more education, higher income, even better marriages - and in the other to more illness and disease, dropping out of school, low income, and higher chances of having your marriage fail. Those paths even affect your chances of making it to your first birthday, as well as of getting in trouble with the police - and of reading this book in the first place.
