Читать книгу Our Social World - Kathleen Odell Korgen - Страница 11

Chapters typically open with an illustration relevant to the chapter content that will grab the attention of students. For instance, in Chapter 2, “Examining the Social World,” the case of Hector, a Brazilian teenager living in poverty in a favela, is used to illustrate research methods and theory throughout the chapter. In Chapter 4, “Socialization,” Craig Kielburger, who at the age of 12 founded a major nonprofit organization fighting child labor practices around the world, begins the discussion. Chapter 7 opens with the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Chapter 15 begins with the experiences of Sally Ride, the first American woman in outer space. These vignettes are meant to interest students in the upcoming subject matter by helping them relate to a personalized story. In several cases, the vignettes serve as illustrations throughout the chapters.
