    Social theory provides a framework for understanding how societies function, how individuals interact, and how social structures shape human behavior. It encompasses a wide range of perspectives that seek to explain social order, change, and the relationships between individuals and institutions. By analyzing patterns in human behavior, power dynamics, and cultural influences, social theory helps us interpret the complexities of the modern world. Sociologists use these theories to examine issues such as inequality, globalization, identity, and technological change, offering insights that inform public policy, activism, and everyday life. 
    The origins of social theory can be traced back to early philosophical inquiries about society, morality, and governance. Thinkers such as Plato, Aristotle, and Confucius considered questions about justice, social order, and the ideal state. However, modern social theory emerged during the 19th and early 20th centuries in response to major social transformations such as industrialization, urbanization, and political revolutions. Pioneering sociologists, including Karl Marx, Emile Durkheim, and Max Weber, developed foundational theories to explain the impact of these changes on social life. Their work laid the groundwork for various theoretical traditions that continue to shape sociological inquiry today. 
    Social theories can be broadly categorized into macro and micro perspectives. Macro-level theories, such as structural functionalism and conflict theory, focus on large-scale social structures and institutions. These perspectives analyze how societies maintain stability, how power is distributed, and how systemic inequalities emerge. Micro-level theories, such as symbolic interactionism, examine individual interactions and the meanings people attach to their experiences. These approaches emphasize the role of language, symbols, and everyday social interactions in shaping identity and behavior.

    Describes what being a foster mom is really like, the effects of foster care on the whole family, and how the foster care system fails severely abused children. 
     
     
     
    Foster children are society's throwaway kids, the children no one wants—until someone finally does. Saving Michael provides an inside look at Keri Vellis's struggle to secure the best possible services for two severely abused and traumatized siblings. Listeners get a glimpse of Keri and her family's day-to-day life as she went from mother of three to adoptive mother of three more children and then the temporary caregiver of another seventeen. 
     
     
     
    Saving Michael delves into issues bigger than one family's experiences and determination. Now an author and child advocate, Vellis provides a profoundly personal look into what it takes to get the best for each of the children she's had in her care. Her journey started from the first day of her first foster care situation and the urgent need for diagnoses and treatment. Along the way, she details the many ups and downs, challenges and triumphs, her whole family experienced as part of the foster care system. All children deserve permanent, safe homes. The effort to obtain those for every child is a tremendous one not for the faint-hearted. But the rewards reverberate for everyone when it works.

    "My Adventures with Your Money" is a book written by George Graham Rice, an American journalist and writer who was active in the early 20th century. The book is a memoir that recounts Rice's experiences as a "stock tout" or promoter of fraudulent investment schemes during the early years of the stock market. 
    Rice was notorious for his involvement in a number of "get-rich-quick" schemes that promised high returns to investors but were actually fraudulent. He used his skills as a writer and public speaker to promote these schemes and lure investors into investing their money. 
    In "My Adventures with Your Money," Rice describes his various schemes and the methods he used to manipulate investors. He also provides insight into the mindset of the people who invested in these schemes, many of whom were driven by greed and a desire for quick wealth. 
    Overall, "My Adventures with Your Money" provides a fascinating look at the history of the stock market and the culture of fraud and speculation that characterized the early years of American capitalism. It is also a cautionary tale about the dangers of investing in schemes that promise unrealistic returns
