Young People's Understanding of Society (Routledge Revivals)

Focusing on social cognition during adolescence, this book explores how young people comprehend the complexities of society, including politics, economics, work, gender, and religion. It delves into critical issues such as government, unemployment, law, family dynamics, social class, and racial and ethnic differences. By examining these themes, the authors provide valuable insights into the processes through which adolescents learn to interpret others' thoughts and behaviors. This comprehensive review is particularly relevant for students of sociology and psychology.
