Sociological Imagination – is a quality of mind, a capacity to understand the interplay of man and society, of biography and history, of self and the world. It is a mindset that enables the individuals to examine their own experience by locating themselves in the period in which they live and by studying the events in the society. In this way they can better understand the relationship between their life and what is happening in the society, thus gaining a wider potential freedom from social pressures.
