Negative Positive
Title: Imbalanced
Review: This book does a great job of looking at sociology from the Conflict perspective. However, as a student forced to take this course by the university I attend, I have some issues with the so called attempt by the authors to provide a balanced perspective. Being relatively conservative in my philosophical outlook, I cannot help but note that much of the factual tone taken by the authors in this book reeks of deception. There are numerous purported "facts" stated by the authors, as well as statements intentionally designed to appear factual, that are anything but factual and subject to debate depending on the perspective undertaken while studying the issue. The title of this book would be more accurate if simply called In Conflict. While a decent introductory book compared to some of the others I've had to read, the biased nature of this book does not merit it sufficiently enough to be considered an excellent and balanced look at the perspectives in sociology.
Is the review positive or negative?
