Sociological Reflection

One idea that comes into the minds of individuals upon hearing the word “Sociology” is that it has a very vast coverage. This is the reason why many are troubled of how knowledge about this discipline is constructed. As a fresh Sociology major, I personally am very pleased to be able to access five different credible resources for my course. These readings, I must say, would compose the perfect set that will assure a good start in building a knowledge in Sociology; hence, I will briefly discuss some major points I learned from these works. Furthermore, to show my own analysis of the points tackled, personal insights will be given. The first reading requirement was “The Promise”, the first chapter of the book The Sociological Imagination
by C.W. Mils. Generally, it was about the importance of perceiving the connection between the human beings and the society that can only be done if one has the “sociological imagination”. Honestly, I would consider this book as the accurate introduction to understanding Sociology. The discussions done, despite verbalism, were in an understandable manner, allowing me to comprehend the concepts being delivered by the author.
