THE SOCIOLOGICAL IMAGINATION - (extra credit)
DUE: Wednesday, August 25
LENGTH: about four pages (800-900 words)
POINTS: Up to 20
This is a CONCEPT APPLICATION exercise:
Read Chapter 1 of our text (Diana Kendall). You might also find this
article on the Sociological Imagination useful.
Your task is to select something from your personal life that affects you,
and then extend it to see the broader sociological implications that
could make it a problem for others. Describe the nature of the problem
for you, how it affects others, what the implications are (that is,
"so what?), and what can be done about it that will help everybody, and
not just you.
