About Me
My name is Jon Witt. I think everyone needs sociology! This site is dedicated to providing links to sociological stories, research, ideas, data, and more. I also created it to accompany my books, SOC and The Big Picture: A Sociology Primer.

My husband Retired trucker from the south is 85 years old. I am a retired associate professor age 70 born in California. We have been asked to come to a sociology class which uses your book “The Big picture” and talk about our lives growning up and now,which will relate to your Chaper 14. Could you give me some ideas for presenting this chapter based on our life history ( We are both black)I am going to try and get a copy of your text book but if you could please give me some ideas so that we can really benefit the students I would truly appreciate it. Thank you P.
