Welcome to IOU Digital Library

This book offers a clear and accessible introduction to how social scientists understand “human reality.” Drawing on a wide range of international examples, it examines core sociological concepts—such as norms, rules, language, ritual, identity, and the role of the body—in shaping social order and individual experience. Through an analysis grounded in both theory and empirical insight, the author shows how social reality is constructed, maintained, and experienced by individuals, making the book a useful primer for students and scholars of sociology, anthropology, and cultural studies.
