It introduces two primary changes. First, some attention is devoted to the \"new social movements\" that emphasize social change through identity transformation rather than through structural change. Second, the text now also looks more closely at the importance of emotions in constructing public consciousness of social problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen the first edition was published, \u003cem\u003eTeaching Sociology\u003c\/em\u003e noted, \"Loseke does a superb job explaining the relationship between sociology and social problems in a text that is very well research and engaging, yet with tremendous attention to detail and accuracy...
