The topics also help produce notes for Paper I of the UPSC exam, and aspirants can academically understand the subject better. For example, social stratification is a broad topic. It is further divided into its types, importance, relation with social mobility, and examples. This book aims to provide a systematic introduction to sociology for GCE Advanced level students, undergraduates and the general reader. It attempts to strike a balance between theory and research findings. The major theoretical perspectives are introduced in the first chapter and examined critically and in detail in the final chapter. Much of the material in the main body of the book is structured in terms of these perspectives. The emphasis on theory is balanced by detailed consideration of the findings of a range of empirical studies. A separate chapter is devoted to methodology – the study of the methods used to obtain and interpret data and of the general assumptions which underlie the study of man and society.
