Surname 1 Student’s Name Professor’s Name Course Date C. Wright Mills What is the sociological imagination, according to C. Wright Mills? Sociological imagination is the awareness that individuals have of their specific experience and their society at large. The possessor of the concept understands what it means for the greater society outside of their individual and daily experience [ CITATION CWr59 \l 1033 ]. The concept views how individuals account for their daily experience and their consciousness of their social positions. The idea focuses on how individuals comprehend their experience and gauge their fate by locating themselves to understand what they are aware of in the circumstances. Why is it important that we can draw connections between the personal and the social, between biography and history? It is essential to draw connections as the broader social forces shape people’s lives and allow them to see the relationship between personal events and societal events. The connection enables us to comprehend occurrences in the world and society and their relation to us as individuals. The connection helps us understand where we stand as individuals and how history has influenced this. The immediate relationship with others relies on the areas of social life that we are directly and personally aware of in the situation. The connection shows how these societal events overlap with personal and specific experiences [ CITATION CWr59 \l 1033 ]. What examples does he present, and can you present some examples of your drawing from your biography? Personal challenges and greater social challenges present themselves as Mills’ examples to express the concept. For instance, he uses marriage as an example to show the troubles the couple may experience and in turn shows the societal influence of divorces by showing the rate of divorces in society to indicate the structural issue within the institutions of marriage

Surname 2 [ CITATION CWr59 \l 1033 ]. Additionally, the example of war shows the personal problems that occur such as people’s different experiences as gaining from it, dying with honor, survival, or climbing the military ranks. Different values contribute to the values and their specific experiences but the structural issues speak on the causes of war and societal effects on political and economic sectors, and family and religion in the states. In my case, society’s challenge in school is that fourth-year students do not need to purchase the required course texts, but in my case, I do not buy the books since I do not have the funds to afford them. While the requirement might seem like a choice, circumstances such as lack of funds and rising tuition fees can be issues that make it impossible to own these textbooks. The private matter is my lack of funds to buy a textbook, while society views the students who do not buy the books as part of a structural circumstance since it is seen as a choice.
