About the Book

Sociology as subject gives its student a very rational, realistic, diversified and unbiased view about Society. However, without practical knowledge and research on social issues it is almost impossible to comprehend all the basic concepts, principles and concerns erupting in society which are a major part of this subject. To further reinforce these objectives, the CBSE has introduced Project Work in Sociology, at the senior secondary level where students need to associate with this Project work to develop the skills of Research Methodology, Sampling breaking barriers of biases and pre-conceived notions to reach out to people keeping in mind the Sociological Principles. Sociology widens the students' horizons towards society and social issues. It also helps students to understand the changes in the structure and culture of society from earlier times to modern Era. Students also become aware of how a particular social issue impacts youth, India and the world. The theme outlined in the book is linked to the diverse social issues across the world and will help students to become global citizens by perceiving all social issues globally.
