Our social world Author : Delphian society Chicago, Ill. I am well-educated possessing numerous post-graduate and other degrees, certificates, and diplomas.
I first achieved my Bachelor of Arts in with then majoring in Sociology and Education. I studied other subjects too including psychology and philosophy. In all honesty I did not do well at Sociology often struggling with concepts until I did several at post-graduate level.

I wanted other students to realize what I had discovered, and observed, and felt my book also contributed to the sociological debate to what society really is, and all about its creators. It is also ideally for someone who wants an educational look at my perspective on sociology.
