Product Description
Four themes infuse the conflict perspective orientation of this book: 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 it examines the standard topics in an introductory sociology 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 readers 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. For anyone interested in sociology.

 Why i decided to minor in sociology February 15, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is a great introductory reader in social problems. It is however biased and incomplete. The book leans more towards the conflict perspective than functionalism, which is fine for me because i can't stand functionalism but may not be fine for individuals who want extensive information on functionalism more than the same basic approach which every intro textbook seems to give. I also had problems with the incompleteness of this textbook. I found it relevant to today's problems but would have enjoyed more historiography in the book.
Gripes aside, this textbook is a great way to get introduced to the wonderful world of sociology. If you disagree with this text however, look at it this way, at least you learned a lot about conflict theory!

Book is good at explaining concepts September 23, 2005
Got this book for my Sociology 101 class and it is fairly easy read and does at great job at explaining concepts. My teacher takes everything right from the book so if I study the book I will get an A. Great book though!!!!
Great introduction Text January 15, 2002
Great work. I liked the more profound connection between the scientific study of sociology, theory, etc with social events and realities.
