Listen "Sociological Imagination"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we explore the concept of the sociological imagination, a powerful idea developed by sociologist C. Wright Mills. This concept challenges us to look beyond personal problems and understand them within the context of broader social forces. Mills draws a distinction between "troubles," personal challenges within an individual's control, and "issues," larger societal challenges that impact many. By applying the sociological imagination, we can uncover how individual experiences are often shaped by historical and social forces, offering a deeper understanding of the connections between personal choices and societal structures.
