Problems of Community Life: An Outline of Applied Sociology (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, first published in 1914, underscores that New York, as a city in transition and transformation, faces many challenges and opportunities regarding social reform and public policy. Its focus is to carefully examine the city's living conditions, industry, and social structure, and present suggestions for comprehensive reform. The author highlights issues like workers' low standard of living, exploitation, lack of adequate support systems for the needy such as the sick and unemployed, and the dire need for improved housing to name a few. The book also points out that inefficient organization of industry results in unnecessarily high prices for essential goods, which in turn puts a strain on working families. The author, therefore, argues that there exists an urgent need for better public services and programs aimed at improving living conditions. Thoughtful consideration is given to the role of education, healthcare, and safe recreational outlets to enhance the overall quality of life for everyone in the city. This insightful and thorough study provides a clear roadmap for those seeking tangible solutions to complex urban problems. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330180846_0
