Real World Sociology: Text and Applications

Today I want to be sure that you can access our textbook, The Real World, and then I want you to apply the sociological paradigms to the real world.

First, be sure you can download the textbook using these steps:

Our class has a digital textbook by Ferris and Stein called Real World Sociology from W.W. Norton.

To access it, go to the following link and follow the instructions below:


To login, click on the "sign in" button in the top right corner.

Select "Yes, I want to sign in"

Enter your full SHS email address
Your password should be your SHS password.
(If that does not work, try your old pass word that starts with Shs with six number after it not related to your SHS ID numbers.  If this does not work, then reset your password using the Forgot Password button.)
Once signed in, you will see the cover of the eBook.

Now select "EBook" button on the bottom row.

Now you can navigate through the eBook.


Please notice the other resources on the right menu bar on my blog, especially the "Quicklinks" menu.




After you have accessed the Real World, let's apply the three paradigms to the real world.




First, consider sports in the United States.  How can sports be viewed from each of the three paradigms?
