Features: This series consists of ten volumes, each discussing ten aspects of contemporary American society, including economy, politics, military, foreign affairs, law, religion, society, culture, education, and technology. With the aim of popularizing knowledge about contemporary America, the series primarily provides objective introductions while also analyzing and commenting on various aspects of American social life. The term "contemporary" refers to the 1990s. This book does not list every aspect of contemporary American society but focuses on its major aspects, which may seem like a subjective and arbitrary selection. The author believes that the social issues most and debated by the American public and government over the past few decades may reflect and reveal the mainstream of contemporary American society, and this is used as the standard for selecting the content of the book. The book first describes the domestic political, economic, cultural, and scientific and technological background of contemporary American society. Additionally, to ensure an objective and realistic description of contemporary American society, the author uses data and examples to illustrate its fundamental developments, changes, challenges, and potential solutions to these challenges.
