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.
