    Description
    Sociological concepts and theories are used to describe and explain a range of social problems that exist in the United States, such as issues of prejudice, discrimination, suicide, drugs, crime, wealth and poverty, political radicalism and weapons of mass destruction. We will also analyze the effectiveness of attempted and potential solutions to these social problems.
