THINK Sociology by Carl Berry is a quick read for college students. The book contains numerous discussions on current events, cultural diversity, the power of words, as well as analysis of why some individuals succeed and why others fail in life. In my opinion, one must read this book to gain an in-depth understanding of the concepts, because after reading the book, you still need to learn the details to apply them in your life. I find the book to be a quick read, easy to understand, and it contains many valuable lessons that will help students think critically and examine their decisions.

The book starts out with an introduction on the history of the study of sociology and then examines how sociology has evolved over the past century. There are numerous examples throughout the text of how this process has affected society, including an example showing how Martin Luther King Jr.'s ideas about treating people equally motivated by the civil rights movement. The next several chapters explore topics such as race and ethnicity, sex, education, economic status, health, family life style, politics, religion, travel, gender, vegetarianism, tattoos, literature, advertising, fashion, cultural diversity, work force, and leisure. Each chapter is presented with a different theme and discusses the importance of each topic in today's society. The book then goes into examining the characteristics of a person who is successful or not.
The main thesis of the book is that everyone is born to be a member of society and the goal of life is to have a fulfilling career. As students read the book, they can begin to evaluate whether they fit into any of the existing categories. Throughout the text, Berry repeatedly emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility, and he gives specific examples of people who have succeeded and failed in life. Throughout the book, Berry encourages students to use critical thinking skills, and he encourages them to see the world from all perspectives. Berry's book will surely be beneficial to future students of sociology, because it gives them valuable information for further study.
