Summary "Sociology and Modern Social Problems" by Charles A. Ellwood is an academic text that serves as an introductory guide to the principles of sociology and its application to contemporary social issues, likely written in the early 20th century. The book aims to provide an accessible understanding of social organization and evolution through the examination of core social institutions, most notably the family, while also addressing various pressing social problems like immigration, poverty, and crime. The opening portion of the text establishes the foundational concepts of sociology, beginning with the definition of society as a complex web of reciprocal relationships among individuals. Ellwood emphasizes the importance of understanding society before delving into specific social problems, illustrating this by focusing on the family as a primary institution. He argues that the family is crucial for reproducing society and transmitting social values. The initial chapters are framed as a means of laying the groundwork for discussing the evolution and organization of social structures, as well as the interaction between sociology and other disciplines such as economics, politics, and ethics. Overall, the beginning sets the stage for a sociological exploration of modern social challenges, interlinking theory and practical application. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
