  The Sociology of Crime -...

  Crime is not merely a legal category but a social construct shaped by historical, cultural, and political forces. What is considered criminal behavior varies across societies and time periods, reflecting changing moral values, power structures, and social interests. Understanding crime as a social construct allows us to analyze how laws are created, enforced, and challenged within different social contexts. 
  One of the key aspects of the social construction of crime is that laws are not neutral or universal. Instead, they are established by those in positions of power who determine what behaviors should be criminalized. For example, certain acts such as drug use, gambling, or even political protests have been criminalized in some societies while being tolerated or even encouraged in others. The legal system often reflects the interests of dominant groups, leading to selective enforcement of laws. Historically, vagrancy laws targeted the poor, while modern drug laws have disproportionately affected marginalized communities. 
  Crime is also shaped by cultural perceptions and media representations. The way crime is reported in the news and depicted in television shows or films influences public perceptions of who is considered criminal. For instance, street crime is often sensationalized, while corporate or white-collar crimes receive comparatively little attention, despite their significant social and economic impact. This selective framing reinforces stereotypes and can lead to policies that prioritize punishment for certain groups while overlooking more systemic forms of harm.

  Arnold Schwarzenegger is an Austrian and American actor, businessman, former politician, and bodybuilder. He began weightlifting at 15 and became Mr. Universe at 20. He is considered one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time. His bodybuilding career led to fame in Hollywood action films such as Conan the Barbarian and The Terminator. He was the 38th governor of California from 2003 to 2011. He was nicknamed the "Governator" during his political career. He has been a champion for environmental issues, creating the first cap on greenhouse gas emissions. His life is detailed in his autobiography, Total Recall. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  Arnold Schwarzenegger began lifting weights at the age of 15 and by 20, he had already won the Mr. Universe title. He would later go on to win the Mr. Olympia title seven times and is considered one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time.

  The Shocking Truth about Social...

  Social media has become an inseparable part of modern life. What started as a way to connect with friends and share moments has evolved into a global phenomenon that influences how we think, feel, and behave. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter are no longer just tools for communication—they are powerful forces shaping our identities, relationships, and daily habits. While social media offers many benefits, including instant access to information, networking opportunities, and entertainment, its darker side often goes unnoticed. The reality is that millions of people around the world are unknowingly trapped in an endless cycle of scrolling, liking, and seeking validation.  
    
  The term "social media addiction" might sound extreme, but it is a growing concern among psychologists, neuroscientists, and everyday users who find themselves unable to put their phones down. Unlike traditional addictions to substances like alcohol or drugs, social media addiction operates in a subtler yet equally powerful way. It hijacks the brain’s reward system, triggering dopamine releases that keep users engaged for hours on end. Every notification, like, or comment acts as a small hit of pleasure, reinforcing compulsive behavior. Over time, this leads to dependency, making it difficult for individuals to disconnect even when they recognize the negative impact on their mental health, relationships, and productivity.  
    
  This book explores the shocking truth about social media addiction, diving deep into the science behind it, its effects on our well-being, and what we can do to regain control. From the psychological tricks used by tech companies to keep us engaged to the rising concerns about mental health, self-esteem, and attention spans, each chapter sheds light on an issue that affects people of all ages.
