OVERALL The students seem to appreciate both the order perspective and the conflict perspective. Additionally, the material has a number of contemporary examples and side articles. Chalane Lechuga University of New Mexico At the end of each term I ask students on their assessment forms to evaluate the text. The text always received hight scores; students cite its readability, the presentation of its content, the perspective of the text, the use of cartoons to illustrate the theoretical perspecitve, and its "bullet" presentation of facts. Kate Hovey Albuquerque Technical Vocational Institute In Conflict and Order is unique as an introduction to sociology. No other book goes this far as a critical analysis of our society and the directions in which it is headed. Joyce Johnson Santa Rosa Junior College I found the conflict perspective to be very up-front and refreshing. It can be a stimulous for good class conversations for those students who disagree. I also find the content of the text to be extremely well researched. Kate Hovey Albuquerque Technical Vocational Institute The main reason for selecting it would be its concept and clarity. Joyce Johnson Santa Rosa Junior College The authors' concept of contrasting perspectives as order and conflict in each chapter both simplifies and deepens students' understanding of sociology and of society. No small achievement! Joyce Johnson Santa Rosa Junior College The authors' ability to clearly articulate the conflict perspective as well as its cogency, and their ability to surface the fallacies of the order model is what would primarily lead me to choose this text, over others. Joyce Johnson Santa Rosa Junior College CRITICAL THINKING Critical thinking is a major goal of introduction to sociology courses, and this text challenges students to think critically. Nathan Pino Georgia Southern University This is still the best book to use for my classes because of the critical thinking material that is easily accessible and relevant to students. I like the balance in terms of the amount of material Nathan Pino Georgia Southern University WRITING STYLE The writing style is accessible to students. It is not excessively wordy but still conveys important information in depth. Nathan Pino Georgia Southern University HUMAN AGENCY BOXES These sections are important to remind students that they do have an impact on their social world despite how it feels at times. Denise Bullock Indiana University East An excellent antidote to "well, things are terrible, but we can't do anything about it," complaints from students. Our society is infused with apathy - they show that people can make a difference. Kate Hovey Albuquerque Technical Vocational Institute I think the premise of this feature is brilliant: to alert students to the active part people play in their society. Joyce Johnson Santa Rosa Junior College Having these boxes to use is a great asset to teaching, promoting discussion, or to assign independent research. Joyce Johnson Santa Rosa Junior College GLOBALIZATION BOXES These are excellent and expand our knowledge beyond our own US borders. Chalane Lechuga University of New Mexico These are also important pasts of the text. I have read them and they help to move along the points of each chapter in which they appear. What I like about these is the choice of topics. Joyce Johnson Santa Rosa Junior College These sections are important to extend the students' focus beyond local, regional or national issues. Denise Bullock Indiana University East DIVERSITY BOXES The selections here are wonderful, very informative and perfect as starting points for class discussions. Joyce Johnson Santa Rosa Junior College RESEARCH METHODS BOXES I find these particularly useful because they are specific to various topics. This is a real strong point in the organization of this book, for me. Kate Hovey Albuquerque Technical Vocational Institute Students particularly like, and can benefit from, learning more about the research process. So I appreciate these boxes. Joyce Johnson Santa Rosa Junior College CLOSER LOOK BOXES I sometimes assign these to students for in-class discussions that the students lead and debate about.
This introductory text, written from a conflict perspective, emphasizes four themes: diversity, the struggle to achieve social justice, economic and global transformations in the U.S., and a global perspective. In Conflict and Order studies the forces that lead to both stability and change in society. As they examine the standard topics in an introductory course, the authors show how social problems are structural in origin. While the pace of social change is increasing, society's institutions are resistant to change. Eitzen and Baca Zinn challenge students to develop a sociological perspective by questioning their own basic beliefs, and to debate the facts rather than merely accepting the authors' way of looking at the world.
