Much attention has been given to theoretical discussions of the appropriate role of sociologists in identifying and defining social problems. Yet teaching as a dominant form of sociological practice and its relevance to this issue have been largely ignored. Through a content analysis of recent textbooks, this paper attempts to shed empirical light on this theoretical issue and to reaffirm the importance of teaching in the practice of the profession. Through a focus on war as a social problem, our analysis suggests that we take an active role in this identification process on the basis of our evaluations of objective conditions
