Expert Solution
Step 1

Sociological imagination:-

 This concept given by C .Wright Mills

              The concept of socialism requires, above all, that we ‘consider ourselves far’ from the normal processes of our daily lives in order to re-examine ourselves. The best way to show what this  involves taking a simple step that millions of people do every day, for example , drinking a cup of coffee. Sociological research of coffee reveals that there are many social processes associated with action.

First of all, coffee is not just a refreshing drink  but it has a symbolic value as part of our daily social work. 

Same can be applied  to  use sociological imagination on the people  of Fayetteville, West Virginia' how are they, and their daily activities.
