Sociology provides essential tools for analyzing how societies function, evolve, and manage inequality. Theoretical frameworks help explain human behavior, social institutions, and cultural change. Sociological Theories and Perspectives offers a detailed exploration of classical and contemporary sociological thought. The book discusses foundational theories from Marx, Weber, and Durkheim alongside modern perspectives such as feminism, postmodernism, and symbolic interactionism. It also examines how these theories apply to current social issues including globalization, identity, and digital culture. By linking theory with real-world analysis, it provides readers with a critical understanding of how sociological perspectives shape the study of social life.
