The selections feature perspectives from those who have contributed to modern social problems, as well as those who have no power over shaping them. Through this unique approach, the text demonstrates that social problems are two-fold, benefiting some while creating obstacles for others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The selected articles identify social problems, social inequalities, institutionalized inequalities, social and physical exploitation, the neglected, and violence and terrorism, not only in the U.S. but worldwide. Students are exposed to important discussions on social movement theories, how financial inequality negatively affects the world, and how individuals can get involved to correct the world's social problems.
