Описание: Learning About Sociology and the Sociological Imagination invites students to develop a sociological perspective by identifying and considering the links between individual experiences, the current social context, and the past. Through a collection of carefully curated readings, the text helps readers better understand cultural variations in social interaction, the development of self, the formation of families and communities, the processes that produce conformity or deviance, and the conditions that lead to conflict and social change.
The anthology familiarizes students with theories and methods of sociology and then challenges them to apply what they've learned to explore the influence of race, class, gender, ethnicity, and age on the human experience. The book features a distinct focus on the social problems of our time, including racial inequality, the problematic nature of the gender binary, social violence, drug and substance abuse, issues related to punishment in society, and more. The text also explores the ways in which these challenges are perceived and dealt with in society.
Learning About Sociology and the Sociological Imagination inspires students to critically examine contemporary issues and to better understand their individual place within society. The anthology is an excellent resource for foundational courses in sociology.

Описание:
In a dark departure from our standard picture of whistleblowers, C. Fred Alford offers a chilling account of the world of people who have come forward to protest organizational malfeasance in government agencies and in the private sector. The conventional story—high-minded individual fights soulless organization, is persecuted, yet triumphs in the end—is seductive and pervasive. In speaking with whistleblowers and their families, lawyers, and therapists, Alford discovers that the reality of whistleblowing is grim. Few whistleblowers succeed in effecting change; even fewer are regarded as heroes or martyrs.Alford mixes narrative analysis with political insight to offer a frank picture of whistleblowing and a controversial view of organizations. According to Alford, the organization as an institution is dedicated to the destruction of the moral individualist. Frequently, he claims, the organization succeeds, which means that the whistleblowers are broken, unable to reconcile their actions and beliefs with the responses they receive from others. In addition to being mistreated by organizations, whistleblowers often do not receive support from their families and communities. In order to make sense of their stories, Alford claims, some whistleblowers must set aside the things they have always believed: that loyalty is larger than the herd instinct, that someone in charge will do the right thing, that the family is a haven from a heartless world. Alford argues that few whistleblowers recover from their experience, and that, even then, they live in a world very different from the one they knew before their confrontation with the organization.
This book is the story of Whistleblower Blake Percival. In 2011 Blake blew the whistle on the background investigation process of the United States government. Blake's revelations brought to light serious problems that might have allowed Edward Snowden and Aaron Alexis to slip through the cracks rather than be investigated properly and cleared or denied access as found appropriate. Blake's decision to do the right thing was easy for him to make but came at a high price.
In this book, you'll hear firsthand who this man is that exposed all this. You'll learn in detail what he did and how he did it as he shares intimate details about why someone would go through such a struggle. You'll hear the inside story of what it took, why he would do it, and what it was like to win in the end. His story just goes to show that you can do the right thing and win.
