Brief History of Social Problems
A Critical Thinking Approach
by McVeigh Frank J. and Frank J. McVeigh
"In this book, Frank McVeigh and Loreen Wolfer take an historical approach to examine the causes and conflicts behind ten major social problems that have existed for nearly 230 years. Using a critical thinking perspective of the history, sociology, politics, and economics of the period, the authors analyze social problems as a series of conflicts between those with power and those who were at one time virtually powerless. Embedded in this analysis is a discussion of how the shift from a Gemeinschaft to Gesellschaft society has influenced how we address these problems as a society. Using these themes, McVeigh and Wolfer provide insight into the ways individuals, groups, and social institutions change over time, gaining or losing power."--BOOK JACKET.
