The challenges of navigating relationships, friendships, social media and ever changing lifestyle trends are ever growing. Our young people need all the tools they can find for their survival tool belts. This textbook is inclusive of all the challenges our students face here in our tiny community and out there in the world. Our current Sociology books were written in 2007 and no longer present critical thinking and social-emotional scenarios that are true to the world of today.
Social trends and social media are game changers in today's world. Students learn what is acceptable behavior more in those mediums than in the homes they live in, the towns they grow up in and in the schools they mature in. Students learn responses to situations on television and think that behavior on Keeping Up With the Kardashians and Big Brother, for example, are appropriate in their worlds. Teenagers no longer face the effects of their poor choices by hiding behind anonymous profiles, and do not care if their behavior hurts anyone. They think it is normal, but they have no sense of empathy, of what it might feel to walk in another's shoes. Any opportunity to open their eyes and minds to the lives of others is desperately needed.
