Was not a fan of opinions being spouted as the truth. At some point, you really stand in awe of the audacity

I've been looking for a (text)book which will provide the mechanisms for looking at social problems without the interjecting ideological bias into it. Sadly, this book wasn't it. This book is also riddled with factual errors. DO NOT waste your time with it.

This book is written from a progressive point of view and looks at social problems in a way not often present in the popular media. It includes many thought provoking topics and questions that lead to healthy discussion, espcially among those who are not inclined to agree with this point of view.

[Anthony Dito · Rating 1 out of 5]

A lot of just the author's opinions and poorly backed points. Makes the points in the book hard to believe because a lot of the time, the authors just drop an opinion without backing and expect the reader to just believe it.

Reasonably decent intro text. Nothing special.
