Introduction

Introduction: In Defense of Games

James S. Coleman

Because games are a "kind of caricature of social life" they allow the young student to discover for himself principles governing real life situations, and allow the professional sociologist to study social organization and processes. Dr. Coleman is Professor of Social Relations at The Johns Hopkins University and the author of numerous books and articles including The Adolescent Society, Adolescents and the Schools, Introduction to Mathematical Sociology, and the recently published report on American schools, Equality of Educational Opportunity.
