This is a study guide for Chapter 7 of Sociology for Optimists, by Mary Holmes, published in 2015, called “Nature.” 

Please note that these study guides are meant to point out some important concepts of interest to introductory students. These are not designed to be thorough or provide an in-depth discussion. Material will be skipped or barely discussed while other concepts will be given more emphasis than the chapter may have given them.

Also note, that the purpose of this book is to look at ways in which sociology can provide a basis for optimism. So, discussions of pessimism and optimism will be central to this guide.
