The term "Sociological Imagination"
was coined by the American sociologist C. Wright Mills in his 1959 book The
Sociological Imagination.
Even though "Sociology" was
defined by French philosopher Auguste Comte in 1838 as a new way of looking at
society.
It was C.
Wright Mills added flavor to the subject matter.
Sociological imagination is the
understanding that social outcomes are based on what we do. To expand on that
definition, it is understanding that some things in society may lead to a
certain outcome.
Sociological imagination is the capacity to
shift from one perspective to another. To have a sociological imagination, a
person must be able to pull away from the situation and think from an
alternative point of view.
In the present situation, the COVID Period…
we also have to think in terms of a general public. Than just be self centered.
And I strongly believe that this is the
need of the hour.
