It uses various methods of critical analysis and empirical investigation for developing an understanding of social order, social change and evolution. This field ranges from the level of individual agency to macro levels of social structure. The focus areas of sociology are social class, secularization, social stratification, gender and sexuality, among others. The theories of sociology fall within the categories of classical and 20th century social theory. The former includes functionalism, conflict theory and utilitarianism, while the latter encompasses structuralism and post-structuralism, besides others. Research methods in sociology are archival research, content analysis, experimental research, survey research, observation and longitudinal study, etc. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to sociology. While understanding the long-term perspectives of the topics, the book makes an effort in highlighting their impact as a modern tool for the growth of the discipline. It attempts to assist those with a goal of delving into this field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Spence\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1632408899\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781632408891\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Clanrye International\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/07\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 223\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.56d","brand":"Thomas Spence","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48449887011071,"sku":"9781632408891","price":154.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_60e3088e-559e-4f03-a056-2e638996bbf8.jpg?v=1777265335","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/handbook-of-sociology-thomas-spence-9781632408891","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
