As what I understood, C. Wright Mills’ Sociological Imagination pertains to an advance kind of
thinking
 where a person possessing it understands that his/her current state have a connection to a
wider scope, which is the society, the society’s history or world history, and even his/her
own history.
 A person who has it can change his/her perspective depending on the situation he/she
needs to understand.
 Persons having it have deeper understanding of their selves.
 I think this is a simple example: you want the most recent model of iPhone. If
you have sociological imagination, you understand that you wanting it have a
connection with what is going on with the world, which is industrial revolution.
Also you understand why you want iPhone instead of other brands. Maybe you’re
used to their Programs.
 A person who has it is learning from history, his/her disposition in the past might change
for he/she now understands that it is wrong.
 People who possess it understand that society is like an open system where all have
connections with each other. Knowing those connections is a way a person with
sociological imagination solve things.
I think Persons having sociological imagination can succeed more in life. The reasons are:
 They understand that they are a part of a whole.
 They can see how the society changes, ex. In the past agricultural knowledge is the most
needed, but now there are a lot of knowledge needed to have work in the society
 They know what the society needs in its current state, so
 they know what possible opportunities the society they belong can give, and
 by knowing these opportunities they know what troubles they need to face to be able to
grab the opportunity and succeed in life
