Summary, etc. Sociology for a New Century offers the best of current sociological think ing to today's students. The goal of the series is to prepare students, and in the long run, the informed public, for a world that has changed dra matically in the last three decades and one that continues to astonish..<br/><br/>This goal reflects important changes that have taken place in sociol ogy. The discipline has become broader in orientation, with an ever growing interest in research that is comparative, historical, or trans national in orientation. Sociologists are less focused on "American" society as the pinnacle of human achievement and more sensitive to global processes and trends. They also have become less insulated from surrounding social forces. In the 1970s and 1980s, sociologists were so obsessed with constructing a science of society that they saw impenetra bility as a sign of success. Today, there is a greater effort to connect soci ology to the ongoing concerns and experiences of the informed public.<br/><br/>Each book in this series offers a comparative, historical, transnational, or global perspective in some way, to help broaden students' vision. Stu dents need to be sensitized to diversity in today's world and to the sources of diversity. Knowledge of diversity challenges the limitations of conventional ways of thinking about social life. At the same time, stu dents need to be sensitized to the fact that issues that may seem specifi cally American (e.g., the women's movement, an aging population bring ing a strained social security and health care system, racial conflict, national chauvinism, etc.) are shared by many other countries. Aware ness of commonalities undercuts the tendency to view social issues and questions in narrowly American terms and encourages students to seek out the experiences of others for the lesson they offer. Finally, students also need to be sensitized to phenomena that transcend national boundaries, economics, and politics.
