Sociological Imagination
Sociological imagination, according to Wright Mills, is a clear awareness of the relationship between an experience and the broader society at large (Mill, 2000). It enables individuals to have a new look at things and away from the familiar normal routines. He emphasized the significance of identifying the connections between social structure and the experiences of individuals as well as that of the agency. Mills gives an example of what people refer to as personal troubles are public issues.
This is because they are social issues that affect many people like economic inequality and structural poverty. The works of Mills currently form the bedroom of the practice of sociology. He advised sociologists not to rely on one theory as it can be biased in results and recommendations. Most of these actions have been adopted to be rituals that individuals find themselves doing.
The behavior and mental development of a child are influenced by the social and economic characteristics of the environment. The students may be single parents; the parents m have irregular work schedules and inadequate facilities for these students. This affects them in that they may develop depression due to their status. They may lack attention in the class and therefore miss out on what is taught, thus having poor performance.
These brain development may be hindered from their childhood; therefore, making the students become a slow learner. This explains the reason why the trait is shared among a large number of children from the same part of the country. The status demotivates them, and therefore, they may not have a reason to continue studying. Some may think that the parents cannot afford their college fees and hence give up.
