Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A watershed event in the field of sociology, this text introduced “a major breakthrough in the sociology of knowledge and sociological theory generally” (George Simpson, American Sociological Review). In this seminal book, Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann examine how knowledge forms and how it is preserved and altered within a society. Unlike earlier theorists and philosophers, Berger and Luckmann go beyond intellectual history and focus on commonsense, everyday knowledge—the proverbs, morals, values, and beliefs shared among ordinary people. When first published in 1966, this systematic, theoretical treatise introduced the term social construction,effectively creating a new thought and transforming Western philosophy.

Book excerpt: A stunning approach to how individuals can not only change their lives for the better in the workplace, but also their lives away from the office, including (but not limited to) finding ways to improve one's working relationship with others, one's overall health, outlook on life, and so on. For example, why is it that 95% of all diet attempts fail? Why do New Year's Resolutions last no more than a few days? Why can't people with good intentions seem to make consistent and positive strides? Based upon the latest research in a number of psychological and medical fields, the authors of Change Anything will show that traditional will-power is not necessarily the answer to these strivings, that people are affected in their behaviors by far more subtle influences. Change Anything shows how individuals can come to understand these powerful and influential forces, and how to put these forces to work in a positive manner that brings real and meaningful results. The authors present an array of everyday examples that will change and truly empower you to reexamine the way you go about your business and life.

Book excerpt: Like earlier editions of The Deviance Process, the purpose of this thoroughly revised and updated text is to offer students a perspective for studying deviance that will help them make sense of their everyday lives. The perspective used by Pfuhl and Henry is identified early as social constructionist, one that includes elements of interactionist and phenomenological sociology. Unlike the numerous texts that view deviance as the "essence" of things, independent of the mind of the observer, the authors perceive deviance, and its opposite, "normality," as impermanent, human creations resulting from people interacting with one another. Such a view regards deviance as the outcome of the antagonisms, contradictions, and conflicts in society. It pays serious attention to people's explanations for their actions, to the creation of moral meanings, and to the labeling, stigmatizing, and banning of one or another kind of behavior. Pfuhl and Henry's perspective requires that deviance be studied, at least in part, in political terms, i.e., as a fundamental part of the business of making and enforcing public rules, as an outgrowth of social policy. Above all, it requires that deviance be understood not as a static element, but as a sequential process, a series of events and actions occurring over time.

Download or read book Deviance in American Life written by James M. Henslin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 1989 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our participation in groups imparts to us far more than mere practical solutions to problems of living. By jointly working out solutions to their circumstances, people develop shared understandings that serve as the basic framework by which they interpret reality. They also develop perspectives on life that color what they see and help determine the meaning they give to what happens to them. In this book on deviance in American Society, the significance of group membership is seen as paramount to understanding the phenomena. Although some authors in this collection present perspectives from "within" the deviant group while the perspectives of others originate from "without," for all of them, group membership underlies the perspective. Chapters emphasize the importance of group support in departures from dominant norms, the profound effects that deviant life-styles have on those who lead them, the dissatisfaction of mainstreamers with deviants and their quandry about what to do with them, and the basic issue of the proper relationship between conformists and deviants. In addition, there is the fascinating theme of what properly constitutes deviance, a reflection of changes in the sociological orientation. This lively collection provides an understanding of some forms of deviance, insight into problems of social control, social policy, and other reactions to deviance, as well as sympathetic understanding of some of the ideological and measurement dilemmas facing researchers in their constructive efforts to analyze deviance. James M. Henslin is professor of sociology at Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville. Among the books he has authored or edited are Down to Earth Sociology, Marriage and Family in a Changing Society, Social Problems (with Donald Light), The Sociology of Sex (with Edward Sagarin) and Introducing Sociology
