Social problems are becoming more and more global in their scope. A global (or cross-cultural) perspective is essential to a modern day sociological understanding of today's problems. In contrast with other peoples around the world, Americans tend to be very individualistic in their thinking. A comparative approach will introduce today's students to solutions being tried in other countries around the globe that may (or may not) be relevant to social problems in the United States. This reader contains thirty-five articles that pertain to social problems and social solutions in the United States and in various countries around the world.
