I just want one paragraph.!!
C.W.Mills described sociological imagination as an ability to understand the intersection of one’s own biography and other biographies with history and the present social structure you find yourself and others in. In short, it is the ability to understand the private in public terms. Essentially, Mills is describing an ability to discern patterns in social events and view personal experiences in light of those patterns. To highlight that, he uses two terms the personal troubles of milieu and the public issues of social structure. Troubles happen to us as individuals, and are a private matter of individual choices and biography. Issues are public matters that transcend the individual, and have to do with societal structures and processes.
Here is the Question!!!
