Sociological Imagination Assignment
14. Our decisions do not simply result from what philosophers call âfree
will.â Sociology teaches us that the social world guides our life choices
in much the same way that the physical world guides influence our
choice of clothing or the type of food we feel like eating. C. Wright
Mills pointed to the power of what he called the sociological
imagination to help us understand everyday events. As he saw it,
societyânot peopleâs personal failingsâis the main cause of poverty
and other social problems.
For this assignment explain how a personal problem can be caused by a
larger social issue. It can be a problem that you, a friend or family
member, or someone you have read about has experienced. Describe the
situation, putting both the personal problem and the larger social issue in
boldface, then explain the relationship in terms of cause and effect.
Limit your response to a single double spaced page.

Developing a Sociological
Imagination (graded)
15. Sociologist C. Wright Mills preferred to call the sociological perspective
âthe sociological imaginationâ and he saw it transforming personal
troubles into public issues. Letâs begin our discussion this week by
considering homelessness. Why are a high percentage of the homeless
veterans? What situations might be a cause in someone being homeless?
Use the sociological imagination to explain your observations, and how
the sociological imagination helps us consider the causes and possible
solutions to homelessness..

Stanford Prison
Experiment (graded)
In 1971, Philip Zimbardoâs experiment demonstrated the power of the
situation and the interaction between social interaction and social
structure. There are many videos of the experiment, search two or three
videos on internet to see different perspectives about this
experiment. After viewing the videos, if you had been a guard, do you
think you would have been more likely to go along with the other guards
or would you have resisted or spoken up about treating the prisoners the
way you would have wanted to be treated if the roles had been
reversed??

Symbols (graded)
Symbols can have more than one meaning.
1. 1. The battle flag of the Confederate States of America is viewed
by some as the rebel flag and is a symbol for individualism against
authority. To others, it is a powerful symbol of repression, hate, and
slavery.

be perceived as a gang member (friend or foe) because of the symbolic
meaning of the colors to another group.

The Games Children
Play (graded)
In the article, âGames Children Play: An Exercise Illustrating Agents of
Socializationâ (Teaching Sociology, 26, April, 1998: 130-
139). DavitaSilfenGlasberg, Florence Maatita, Barbara Nangle, and
Tracy Schauer pointed out that most introductory sociology textbooks
identify the main socialization agents as family, peers, schools, media,
work, and religion. ââŚwhat is far less often acknowledged is the
contribution that childrenâs toys and games play in representing and
reinforcing dominant conceptions of âappropriateâ social identities found
in social discourse and in institutional arrangements.â Toys and games
can allow us to experience the subtleties of race, class, gender, and
political socialization that are embedded in play. Sometimes players may
challenge and subvert these images and messages at the delight or
disgust of other players.
What toys did you have as a child that you think of as agents of
socialization? How did you use toys to understand relationships or
prepare for new ones?

whether perceptions of that behavior have changed over time. Explain
