Feminism aims to achieve equality between the sexes and address additional layers of discrimination women face. There are several kinds of feminism including liberal feminism, which works within existing structures; radical feminism, which views women's oppression as fundamental; Marxist/socialist feminism, which sees capitalism as the root cause; cultural feminism, which focuses on building women's culture; and eco-feminism, which draws parallels between society's treatment of women and the environment. The document provides brief overviews of each type of feminism.
Comparative politics

It looks at governmental institutions, public policy, political behavior of leaders and citizens, and political culture. Comparative politics focuses on individual countries, while international relations examines relations between countries. Studying comparative politics broadens understanding of other political systems and helps develop a more sophisticated view of politics globally.

Sociological Imagination
C. Wright Mills described sociological imagination as the ability to understand how individual experiences are influenced by broader social, political, and economic forces. He argued that sociology should seek to analyze relationships between private troubles faced by individuals and public issues experienced by many in society. As an example, he discussed how unemployment may be perceived as a personal failure, but is actually a reflection of larger problems in the economy and society. Mills believed sociological imagination was needed to move beyond common sense understandings of social problems and consider alternative social and historical explanations.
