| Summary |
"Social Problems explores the consequences of symbolic interactionism in society, a theory which contends that people attach meanings to symbols such as language or gestures and base their behaviors on their interpretations of these meanings. Norman A. Dolch, Linda Deutschmann and Helen Wise compile a number of critical and innovative essays that explore different aspects of society including mental illness, race relations, terrorism and family life."--PUBLISHER'S WEBSITE |
