Read the first draft and final draft of the summaries and explain how the summaries show evidence of them having a sociological imagination, and explain how their sociological imagination has improved over the semester ( by looking at first and final drafts) All your doing is explaining how you can see the difference in the first and final drafts . Explain the growth you see in the final drafts (sociological wise) And then just explaining how they have sociological imagination in them. ( in the summaries) please don’t do small answers First Draft of first summary: Out of all four units these two have been most meaningful to me number 1 being Who was C wright mills and why is thesociological imagination important /sociological imagination by C wright mills. This is most meaningful to me because it makes you think more and getmore into depth about life. Usually we go by doing everyday things but we don't really think about the bigger picture in our everyday lives. Reading hiswork makes you think and imagine more clearly the issues in our lives and society. These things are more important than we imagine it is but the moreyou think and review about it the more you understand and know that it's important to focus on these issues. The second most meaningful to me was thefirst lesson what is sociology because when I first started this class I didn't really expect much about it just that we were going to talk about social workbut I didn't know that we would get more in depth to things in humanities like what causes these changes , issues and personal feelings which iscompletely my fault for thinking that this was gonna be a simple class but it is more complex and reading what is sociology really helps me dive into thecontext that we're going to be learning and help me learn more about humanities and understand so I can actually pursue a career in social work andsociology.Final Draft of first summary:C Wright mills was an american sociologist his work helped me better understand life and the way us humans think and prepare. C Wright Mills alwaysthought bigger and better. The more he used his mind the more questions he had for society. Even within his life he experienced sociological imagination.With his back to back divorces it was obvious there was a problem. but what? Him. He had a marriage problem which is very common. According to hisbiography he had many affairs. Learning about him was a huge milestone for me because it helped me see every part of a problem and every perspective.His work, ideas and thoughts played a huge role in my understanding of sociological imagination. The second most meaningful thing I learned wassociology itself. Learning has never been hard for me but when I was first introduced to college it was a hard transformation. During my time in college theprofessor has helped me learn about sociological imagination in many ways. Whether it was a powerpoint, notes, articles/readings or just her speakingfrom her knowledge. Her words have helped me develop a clear sight of imagination in the sociological world. She's given us videos to review and tasks tocomplete to help better our knowledge of sociological imagination and I used that knowledge everyday to try and solve issues within myself and family.When I joined this class for the first time I was shocked about what I thought sociology would be about vs. what it really is about. I always thoughtsociology was more like psychology when it isn't ! It's specifically about humanities and human social relationships.

This concept was introduced by the American Sociologist C. Wright Mills in his 1959 book of the same name. He used the term to refer to the unique insights of sociology, acquired when we try to understand individual experience (biography) against the forces of society (history). In other words, the term sociological Imagination refers to the interdependence of individual and society. Both these summaries do not really reveal a knowledge of the sociological imagination because they don’t give us examples which discuss the interdependence of individual and society. In the first summary we see that the student has identified what the sociological imagination is. The use of the term’s 'depth', 'bigger picture', 'causes', 'issues' and 'personal feelings' reveal that the student is familiar with the task of Sociology. Recognition in the last sentence two sentences of the complexity that Sociology brings into the practice of social work is also a sign of the student acknowledging the sociological imagination. In the second summary we find more concrete examples of the student recognizing the sociological imagination. The mention of the back-to-back divorce of Mills and its social complexity tells us that the student can understand divorce as a more complex phenomenon now. Also, the discussion on the role of the teacher and texts in the 2nd half of the summary indicates how the students’ knowledge was mediated by larger social forces (actions of the teacher, literature on the subject). The distinction between Sociology and Psychology that the student makes also reveals an increase in grasp of the sociological imagination.
