Analysis Of Social Imagination By C. Wright Mills

Social imagination according to C.Wright Mills, is that " the perspective of sociological imagination helps us to see the links between society and individual circumstances and experiences. External influences such as social structures, which are often unseen, significantly influence and shape an individual's thinking, motivation and social standpoint. The sociological imagination focuses on the social context in which people live and which influence their lives." (Mill.1959.10) . In other words sociological imagination conditions our thoughts in a sense that, it takes a person out of their comfort zone and moral point of view mentality. It then makes them look at whatever personal issue(s) they are going through and put it in societies context
