Sociology: Compass for a New Social World shows students how thinking sociologically can help them draw connections between themselves and the social world. Sociological concepts are clearly connected to students’ interests and experiences by taking universal and popular elements of contemporary culture and rendering them sociologically relevant.

This text differs from other major introductory sociology textbooks in four ways: (1) Drawing connections between one’s self and the social world by illustrating key sociological ideas with examples that resonate deeply with student interests and experiences; (2) Focusing on how to think instead of what to think by showing the sociologists thought process, presenting contending interpretations of the issue, and then providing data to judge the merits of those interpretations; (3) Making connections between objectivity and subjectivity; and (4) Exploring diversity and a global perspective, including decolonization and inviting students to engage in reconciliation.​
