Sociology is interested in the way citizens shape a society and the way a society shapes its citizens. Simply, it is the study of how society functions, or how it doesn't. This guide traces the origins of sociology from industrialisation, revolution and the Enlightenment through to globalisation, neoliberalism and the fear of nationalism--introducing you to key thinkers, movements and concepts along the way.
