THE SOCIOLOGICAL IMAGINATION
Sociology is often defined as the science of society. In this lecture it is argued that even more important than science is sociology’s use of the imagination. Indeed, it is suggested that science is not possible without the imagination. This insight, although subject to dispute, has led sociologists, starting with C.Wright Mills, to speak of the “sociological imagination.” The lecture begins by questioning what we mean by the imagination in general and the sociological imagination in particular. It highlights Mills’ concerns with the relationship between “personal troubles” and “public issues.” It then proposes four dimensions or sensibilities of the sociological imagination.
THE IMAGINATION
“Never does the soul think without phantasm” (imagination)
(Aristotle)
“the union
of deep feeling with profound thought … to see again, those things in which … custom and the common view … had bedimmed all the lustre, had dried up the sparkle and dew drops”
(Samuel Taylor Coleridge)
“[that] whereby ordinary things should be presented to the mind in an unusual way”
(William Wordsworth)
THE SOCIOLOGICAL IMAGINATION
“being able to ‘think ourselves away’ from the familiar routines of our daily lives in order to look at them anew”
Anthony Giddens
(Sociology Second Edition,
Polity Press, Oxford. 1993:18)
“a quality of mind” … [that can] “grasp the interplay of the individual and society, of biography and history, of self and world.”
C. Wright Mills
The Sociological Imagination (1959)
You can read the original at http://www.lclark.edu/~goldman/socimagination.html
“A useful starting point for seeing why it is worthwhile to develop a sociological imagination has for some time been C. Wright Mills (1959) observation on the differences between our everyday knowledge of our social environment and a sociological understanding… There is a strong tendency in liberal democracies towards seeing human behaviour in terms of individual characteristics, abilities, choices and preferences… What sociologists, on the other hand, are more interested in is establishing the relationship between what happens to individuals…and the larger processes of social, economic and political change which might be said to lie underneath or behind those happenings… The sociological imagination wrote Mills, ‘enables us to grasp history and biography and the relation between the two in society.”
(Van Krieken et. al. 2006: 4)
A kind of interpretive imagination which does not treat its subject matter like objects in the natural world. The sociological imagination is anthropological, historical and critical.
(Holmes et. al., 2003: 7)
FOUR SENSIBILITIES OF THE SOCIOLOGICAL IMAGINATION
1. The Analytical Sensibility (science)What are the components of this situation and how do they relate to one another? The search for trends, correlation, causes, structures, functions and meanings that can be empirically demonstrated.
Sociology is the systematic study of human social behavior and groups. It focuses on how social relationships influence behavior and how societies develop and change. Anthropology studies humanity's biological, social, and cultural development and seeks to understand differences and similarities between people. Both disciplines have roots in the 18th-19th centuries and were influenced by thinkers like Comte, Marx, Durkheim, and Weber who applied scientific methods to the study of society. Modern sociology and anthropology utilize theoretical perspectives like functionalism, conflict theory, and interactionism to analyze social patterns and behaviors.
On culture introduction-comparison and contextMaryjoydailo
This document provides an introduction and overview of cultural anthropology. It discusses some key concepts like culture, society, and the goals and methods of anthropology. Specifically, it notes that anthropology aims to understand both differences and similarities between human societies by studying local contexts in detail through long-term fieldwork using participant observation. While traditionally focused on small-scale societies, anthropology now studies any social system. The concepts of culture and society are complex and have been debated, but culture generally refers to acquired behaviors and meanings, while society refers to patterns of social interaction and organization.
This document provides an overview of the key concepts in sociology. It discusses how sociology is the scientific study of human social behavior and interactions.

This document provides an overview of sociology and anthropology. It defines sociology as the systematic study of human social behavior and groups, focusing on how social relationships influence behavior and society develops. Anthropology is defined as the study of past and present human cultures. The document then discusses the origins and history of sociology and anthropology, including key early thinkers in each field. It also outlines three major theoretical perspectives in sociology: functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism.
Applied sociology uses sociological knowledge and research to inform decision-makers and the public about social issues in order to improve quality of life. It encompasses various types of research applied to areas like medicine, organizations, education and more. The concept of applied sociology fits with new funding initiatives that require research be tied to practical applications. Applied sociology has evolved over four periods since the mid-19th century from early visions of it providing social advice, to growth with federally-sponsored research, to a more independent professional field today.

This document summarizes an article that argues for the continued importance of national history writing even in an age of globalization. It makes two main points: 1) Nationalism and national identities are vital to liberal democratic societies as they ensure the social bonds needed for citizens to sacrifice personal interests for the common good. 2) Recent historical work has shown that nations are as real as other historical groups and rejecting national history would require rejecting the history of all groups. The article contends that national history remains a legitimate lens for understanding the past within the discipline of history.

The document discusses the origins and goals of social theory. It explains that social theory emerged in Europe during the Enlightenment period to understand societal changes like the loss of religion and industrialization. The founders of sociology like Weber, Durkheim, and Marx produced early social theories. In America, theories focused on democracy and race relations, with W.E.B. Du Bois being influential. Additional sources of theory include fields like anthropology, economics, and various area studies. The goal of studying social theory is to understand society and improve lives by translating theorists' explanations into our own words.
This document provides an overview of social science disciplines including anthropology, sociology, and political science. It discusses key concepts in each field such as how anthropology studies human behavior and culture through methods like participant observation. Sociology examines society and social interactions, looking at topics like social organization. Political science focuses on states, governments, and politics through areas like political theory, international relations, and comparative government. The document also outlines important figures in the development of each discipline such as Marx, Durkheim, and Weber in sociology and Boas and Malinowski in anthropology. Overall, it presents a high-level introduction to the scopes, methods, and goals of these social science fields.
This document discusses the influence of historical figures and events on modern society. It explores how Aristotle laid foundations for science and technology through his writings. It also examines how the Reformation established principles of free speech and expression that influence modern declarations of human rights. Finally, it notes that past empires like Persia and discoveries in the Scientific Revolution continue to impact fields like government, trade and science today.
Plato argued that societies require a "noble lie" to maintain social control and stability. In his work The Republic, he describes an ideal city divided into categories of rulers, auxiliaries, and farmers, with each person's place determined by the metal found in their soul - gold, silver, or iron. The rulers would tell the noble lie that this categorization was due to God's will rather than circumstances. The lie was meant to keep the lower classes content with their place in the social structure.
This document provides an introduction to the field of sociology. It defines sociology as the systematic study of human society and social interaction, based on scientific research rather than common sense. It discusses key thinkers in the development of sociology such as Durkheim, Marx, Weber, DuBois, Parsons, and Mills and their perspectives on analyzing society. It also outlines how sociology can help debunk social myths and understand society in a more evidence-based way.

A CRITICAL FRAMEWORK FOR TEXTUAL ANALYSISBryce Nelson
This document provides an overview of frameworks for analyzing myths and their political, social, and economic dimensions. It discusses several thinkers that influenced the analysis of myths, including Barthes, Marx, Levi-Strauss, and Critical Theorists. The document proposes analyzing myths using a mixed-methods approach informed by these frameworks. It will apply Barthes' concept of myth as a semiotic structure to analyze Plato's Myth of Er and several television comedy programs to reveal their depictions of social class and the natural order.

Original Prompt:
Compare Carroll's strategies for creating sound in
Jabberwocky
with those used by Swenson in
A Nosty
Fright.
Pay attention to connotative and denotative meanings of the words and how the poet plays with sound.
Edilzon Ramirez
Response to Prompt:
In both poems there is a common element. And that is a wordplay to make nonsense poetry. The effect of this, is that we must think more in depth to figure out the real meaning behind the works of literature. In Jabberwocky, the writer begins by setting up the mood giving us the background of the events that are about to occur. The use of exclamation marks throughout the poem afterwards, are what in my opinion, give it the sound. For example, “O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!” suggests sort of a proud/relived cry. Which is furthered backed up by the whimsical words that have a positive connation to them due to the slaying of the jabberwocky, who terrorized the people.
While in “A Nosty Fright” another poem with nonsense words or portmanteau the mood is sad, and it only becomes gloomier. Like Miss Brill, the poet describes things together, in the first stanza “roldengod and the soneyhuckle” and jumps to a lonely chipmunk, suggesting that it has lost its companion. There is hope for it when it meets the grasshopper. Ultimately, it comes to an end “Here we part,” said the hassgropper. “Pere we hart,” mipchunk, too”. All hope is lost for the chipmunk and is waiting for the winter to come. This symbolizes death because during the months of October, November, and December many mammals including the chipmunks hibernate and its almost like it wanted to go to sleep permanently remarking things like “Will it ever be morning, Nofember virst”.
Some say, that the chipmunk is a representation of the author and her sexuality. She like the chipmunk, was alone and the typhoon that was mentioned earlier, was her losing her mind. The words and the sounds they make, further makes this evident because it is gibberish written by someone who is broken.

This week's discussion prompt:
Explain how Faith in "Young Goodman Brown," Georgiana in "The Birthmark," and Elizabeth in "The Black Minister's Veil" are use to reveal some truth about the central male characters in each story. Describe the similarities that you see among these women characters.
Peer's Post:
-Emily Seide
In each of the three short stories, the female characters play a large role in the character development of the three male protagonists (Goodman, Aylmer, and Hooper). Throughout each story, the women leave a lasting impact on their significant other’s mentality of the world and perception of others. In “Young Goodman Brown”, Brown is faced with troubling sights that make him alter his point of view on his town and the townspeople. Brown was introduced to the true form of some nasty people, including his wife, Faith. When he returns home the next morning from a place of sinister evil, his encounter with Faith and his townspeople has made him a hardcore skeptic of anyone and everyone around him. Goodman Brown never trusted a soul after that night because he was forced to believe that evil resides in everyone. In “The Birthmark”, Aylmer goes insane trying to remove his wife, Georgiana’s, birthmark. Even after hearing how beautiful and well liked she is, Georgiana agrees to get her birthmark removed. Rather than seeing this as a perfect part of her, Aylmer sees the birthmark as a flaw that gives her an imperfect complexion. Later in the story, as the birthmark fades and she wakes up, she states that he should’ve admired what he had in the first place, then dies. This made Aylmer realize that he took time for granted, and now he lives a life without Georgiana due to his impatience with her already beautiful complexion. And finally, in “The Minister’s Black Veil”, Reverend Hooper consistently wears a black veil that covers the majority of his face. Several people were afraid and intimidated by it, except for his fiancée, Elizabeth. After further questioning, she begins to fear the veil due to what it symbolizes- the sin in all human beings. Hooper’s plea for Elizabeth to stay reveals the extent of which he is willing to sacrifice, and the decision for him to continue to wear the veil reveals great sorrow; “Do not leave me in this miserable obscurity forever!” (Hawthorne, 36). In each of the short stories, each female character, always a love interest, is first skeptical of the main character’s choice of actions, then later comply. In each short story, a life lesson is learned for each male character.

Topic:
Technology changes education
Postman argues that television technology substantively changes aspects of culture such as news, politics, religion, and education in ways that suit the technology, not the human culture that uses the technology. It is a point others have made as well, though it is still contested by many other philosophers and social critics. One excellent example of technological change is on-line course delivery. While there are some who say that the new medium does not provide an education, others (such as your instructor) believe they can accomplish a better education in some subject areas. What have you noticed? What differences are there in on-line education that are due to the way it is technologically mediated? What differences do they make in the education you are receiving? Do you think this is a better or worse education? Why might your instructor think it can be better (and not just because he manages the class while in his pajamas)?

This document provides an introduction to the field of sociology. It defines sociology as the systematic study of human society and social interaction, based on scientific research rather than common sense. It discusses key thinkers in the development of sociology such as Durkheim, Marx, Weber, DuBois, Parsons, and Mills and their perspectives on analyzing society. It also outlines how sociology can help debunk social myths and understand society in a more evidence-based way.

“Public sociologies: Contradictions,
Dilemmas, and Possibilities”

Purpose of Sociology?
Provide abstract analytical “models” of society
to aid in understanding
Getting back to social reform…

Applied sociology
Between extremes… using sociology to solve problems
NAACP

Difference between reform (radical…desire to rebuild society…we need a new system) and applying expert knowledge to particular contexts
“Public sociologies: Contradictions, Dilemmas, and Possibilities”
Michael Burawoy
Sociological knowledge for whom?
For what purpose?
NOT easy questions!
“Since the middle of the 19th century,
social scientists have been asking about the influence of their work on society (27)
Contribute to social order and stability?
Promote social change?
Address problems; devise solutions?
Objectivity? Neutral and value-free? Passion?
Opening scene of the essay…
“Public sociologies: Contradictions, Dilemmas, and Possibilities”
References a meeting of the ASA in 2003. Why?
Vote on a member resolution
Should sociologists have or act on opinions regarding important “issues of the day”?
Overwhelming opposition to the war in Iraq
“Foreign interventions that do not have the support of the world community…” (27)
Intervention could spark terrorist attacks…
Passed by 2/3 majority (22% abstained)
In an opinion poll; 75% opposed the war
Ethos
Historical shift…1968, Vietnam war
Hypotheses of shift
1) ASA – has moved further left
In 1968…many sociologists held beliefs similar to the majority of the country population (54% opposed the war)
In 2003, the inverse…75% sociologists opposed the war; 75% of the public supported it
2) the world itself is different
1968… world ripe for change…the 60s/70s
Public context and sociological conscience moved in opposite directions….
The vote
Controversial
Ethics/ code of conduct
Scientifically and professionally derived knowledge
Is taking a moral or political position incompatible with scientific objectivity?
What is Burawoy’s position? Explain.
Pure science/ public engagement?

A CRITICAL FRAMEWORK FOR TEXTUAL ANALYSISBryce Nelson
This document provides an overview of frameworks for analyzing myths and their political, social, and economic dimensions. It discusses several thinkers that influenced the analysis of myths, including Barthes, Marx, Levi-Strauss, and Critical Theorists. The document proposes analyzing myths using a mixed-methods approach informed by these frameworks. It will apply Barthes' concept of myth as a semiotic structure to analyze Plato's Myth of Er and several television comedy programs to reveal their depictions of social class and the natural order.

Write a response to the peers post based on the readings. Origi.docxarnoldmeredith47041
Write a response to the peer's post based on the readings.
Original Prompt:
Compare Carroll's strategies for creating sound in
Jabberwocky
with those used by Swenson in
A Nosty
Fright.
Pay attention to connotative and denotative meanings of the words and how the poet plays with sound.
Edilzon Ramirez
Response to Prompt:
In both poems there is a common element. And that is a wordplay to make nonsense poetry. The effect of this, is that we must think more in depth to figure out the real meaning behind the works of literature. In Jabberwocky, the writer begins by setting up the mood giving us the background of the events that are about to occur. The use of exclamation marks throughout the poem afterwards, are what in my opinion, give it the sound. For example, “O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!” suggests sort of a proud/relived cry. Which is furthered backed up by the whimsical words that have a positive connation to them due to the slaying of the jabberwocky, who terrorized the people.
While in “A Nosty Fright” another poem with nonsense words or portmanteau the mood is sad, and it only becomes gloomier. Like Miss Brill, the poet describes things together, in the first stanza “roldengod and the soneyhuckle” and jumps to a lonely chipmunk, suggesting that it has lost its companion. There is hope for it when it meets the grasshopper. Ultimately, it comes to an end “Here we part,” said the hassgropper. “Pere we hart,” mipchunk, too”. All hope is lost for the chipmunk and is waiting for the winter to come. This symbolizes death because during the months of October, November, and December many mammals including the chipmunks hibernate and its almost like it wanted to go to sleep permanently remarking things like “Will it ever be morning, Nofember virst”.
Some say, that the chipmunk is a representation of the author and her sexuality. She like the chipmunk, was alone and the typhoon that was mentioned earlier, was her losing her mind. The words and the sounds they make, further makes this evident because it is gibberish written by someone who is broken.

This week's discussion prompt:
Explain how Faith in "Young Goodman Brown," Georgiana in "The Birthmark," and Elizabeth in "The Black Minister's Veil" are use to reveal some truth about the central male characters in each story. Describe the similarities that you see among these women characters.
Peer's Post:
-Emily Seide
In each of the three short stories, the female characters play a large role in the character development of the three male protagonists (Goodman, Aylmer, and Hooper). Throughout each story, the women leave a lasting impact on their significant other’s mentality of the world and perception of others. In “Young Goodman Brown”, Brown is faced with troubling sights that make him alter his point of view on his town and the townspeople. Brown was introduced to the true form of some nasty people, including his wife, Faith. When he returns home the next morning from a place of sinister evil, his encounter with Faith and his townspeople has made him a hardcore skeptic of anyone and everyone around him. Goodman Brown never trusted a soul after that night because he was forced to believe that evil resides in everyone. In “The Birthmark”, Aylmer goes insane trying to remove his wife, Georgiana’s, birthmark. Even after hearing how beautiful and well liked she is, Georgiana agrees to get her birthmark removed. Rather than seeing this as a perfect part of her, Aylmer sees the birthmark as a flaw that gives her an imperfect complexion. Later in the story, as the birthmark fades and she wakes up, she states that he should’ve admired what he had in the first place, then dies. This made Aylmer realize that he took time for granted, and now he lives a life without Georgiana due to his impatience with her already beautiful complexion. And finally, in “The Minister’s Black Veil”, Reverend Hooper consistently wears a black veil that covers the majority of his face. Several people were afraid and intimidated by it, except for his fiancée, Elizabeth. After further questioning, she begins to fear the veil due to what it symbolizes- the sin in all human beings. Hooper’s plea for Elizabeth to stay reveals the extent of which he is willing to sacrifice, and the decision for him to continue to wear the veil reveals great sorrow; “Do not leave me in this miserable obscurity forever!” (Hawthorne, 36). In each of the short stories, each female character, always a love interest, is first skeptical of the main character’s choice of actions, then later comply. In each short story, a life lesson is learned for each male character.

Topic:
Technology changes education
Postman argues that television technology substantively changes aspects of culture such as news, politics, religion, and education in ways that suit the technology, not the human culture that uses the technology. It is a point others have made as well, though it is still contested by many other philosophers and social critics. One excellent example of technological change is on-line course delivery. While there are some who say that the new medium does not provide an education, others (such as your instructor) believe they can accomplish a better education in some subject areas. What have you noticed? What differences are there in on-line education that are due to the way it is technologically mediated? What differences do they make in the education you are receiving? Do you think this is a better or worse education? Why might your instructor think it can be better (and not just because he manages the class while in his pajamas)?

write a resonse paper mla styleHAIRHair deeply affects people,.docxarnoldmeredith47041
write a resonse paper mla style
HAIR
Hair deeply affects people, can transfigure or repulse them. Symbolic of life, hair bolts from our head. Like the earth, it can be harvested, but it will rise again. We can change its color and texture when the mood strikes us, but in time it will return to its original form, just as Nature will in time turn our precisely laid-out cities into a weed-way. Giving one's lover a lock of hair to wear in a small locket [3] around his neck used to be a moving and tender gesture, but also a dangerous one, since to spell-casters, magicians, voodoo-ers, and necromancers of all sorts, a tuft of someone's hair could be used to cast a spell against them. In a variation on this theme, a medieval knight wore a lock of his lady's pubic hair into battle. Since one of the arch-tenets of courtly love was secrecy, choosing this tiny memento instead of a lock of hair from her head may have been more of a practical choice than a philosophical one, but it still symbolized her life-force, which he was carrying with him. Ancient male leaders wore long flowing tresses as a sign of virility (in fact,
"kaiser" and "tsar" both mean "long-haired"
). In the biblical story of Samson, the hero's loss of hair brings on his weakness and downfall, just as it did for the hero Gilgamesh before him. In Europe in more recent times, women who collaborated with the enemy in World War II were humiliated by having their hair cut short. Among some orthodox Jews, a young woman must cut off her hair when she marries, lest her husband find her too attractive and wish to have sex with her out of desire rather than for procreation. Rastafarians regard their dreadlocks as "high-tension cables to heaven." These days, to shock the bourgeoisie and establish their own identity, as every generation must, many young men and women wear their hair as freeform sculpture, with lacquered spikes, close-cropped patterns that resemble a formal garden maze, and colors borrowed from an aviary or spray-painted alley. The first time a student walked into my classroom wearing a "blue jay," it did startle me. Royal-blue slabs of hair were brushed and sprayed straight up along the sides of his head, a long jelly roll of white hair fell forward over his eyebrows, and the back was shiny black, brushed straight up and plastered close to the head. I didn't dislike it, it just seemed like a lot to fuss with each day. I'm sure my grandmother felt that way about my mother's "beehive," and I know my mother feels that way about the curly weather system which is my own mane of long thick hair. One's hairstyle can be the badge of a group, as we've always known -- look at the military's crew cut, or the hairstyles worn by some nuns and monks. In the sixties, wearing long hair, especially if you were a man, often fetched a vitriolic outburst from parents, which is why the musical Hair summed up a generation so beautifully. The police, who seemed so clean-cut and cropped then, were succee.

Write a research report based on a hypothetical research study. Con.docxarnoldmeredith47041
Write a research report based on a hypothetical research study. Conducting research and writing a report is common practice for many students and practitioners in any of the behavioral sciences fields.
A research report, which is based on scientific method, is typically composed of the different sections listed below:
Introduction:
The introduction states a specific hypothesis and how that hypothesis was derived by connecting it to previous research.
Methods:
The methods section describes the details of how the hypothesis was tested and clarifies why the study was conducted in that particular way.
Results:
The results section is where the raw uninterpreted data is presented.
Discussion:
The discussion section is where an argument is presented on whether or not the data supports the hypothesis, the possible implications and limitations of the study, as well as possible future directions for this type of research.
Together, these sections should tell the reader what was done, how it was done, and what was learned through the research. You will create a research report based on a
hypothetical
problem, sample, results, and literature review. Organize your data by creating meaningful sections within your report. Make sure that you:
Apply key concepts of inferential hypothesis tests.
Interpret the research findings of the study.
Examine the assumptions and limitations of inferential tests.
Develop a practical application of the research principles covered in this course.
Focus of the Research Report
To begin, create a hypothetical research study (you do not have to carry out the study; you will just have to describe it) that is based on the three pieces of information listed below. Once you have your hypothetical study created, write a three- to four-page research report (excluding title and reference pages) that outlines the study. You are encouraged to be creative with your research study, but be sure to follow the format outlined below and adhere to APA formatting as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
Your hypothetical research study should be based on the following information:
Recent research has indicated that eating chocolate can improve memory. Jones and Wilson (2011) found that eating chocolate two hours before taking math tests improved scores significantly. Wong, Hideki, Anderson, and Skaarsgard (2009) found that women are better than men on memory tests after eating chocolate.

THE SOCIOLOGICAL IMAGINATIONSociology is often defined as the sc.docx
1. THE SOCIOLOGICAL IMAGINATION
Sociology is often defined as the science of society. In this
lecture it is argued that even more important than science is
sociology’s use of the imagination. Indeed, it is suggested that
science is not possible without the imagination. This insight,
although subject to dispute, has led sociologists, starting with
C.Wright Mills, to speak of the “sociological imagination.” The
lecture begins by questioning what we mean by the imagination
in general and the sociological imagination in particular. It
highlights Mills’ concerns with the relationship between
“personal troubles” and “public issues.” It then proposes four
dimensions or sensibilities of the sociological imagination.
THE IMAGINATION
“Never does the soul think without phantasm” (imagination)
(Aristotle)
“the union
of deep feeling with profound thought … to see again, those
things in which … custom and the common view … had
bedimmed all the lustre, had dried up the sparkle and dew
drops”
(Samuel Taylor Coleridge)
“[that] whereby ordinary things should be presented to the mind

(William Wordsworth)
THE SOCIOLOGICAL IMAGINATION
“being able to ‘think ourselves away’ from the familiar routines
of our daily lives in order to look at them anew”
Anthony Giddens
(Sociology Second Edition,
Polity Press, Oxford. 1993:18)
“a quality of mind” … [that can] “grasp the interplay of the
individual and society, of biography and history, of self and
world.”
3. C. Wright Mills
The Sociological Imagination (1959)
You can read the original at
http://www.lclark.edu/~goldman/socimagination.html
“A useful starting point for seeing why it is worthwhile to
develop a sociological imagination has for some time been C.
Wright Mills (1959) observation on the differences between our
everyday knowledge of our social environment and a
sociological understanding… There is a strong tendency in
liberal democracies towards seeing human behaviour in terms of
individual characteristics, abilities, choices and preferences…
What sociologists, on the other hand, are more interested in is
establishing the relationship between what happens to
individuals…and the larger processes of social, economic and
political change which might be said to lie underneath or behind
those happenings… The sociological imagination wrote Mills,
‘enables us to grasp history and biography and the relation
between the two in society.”
(Van Krieken et. al. 2006: 4)
A kind of interpretive imagination which does not treat its
subject matter like objects in the natural world. The
sociological imagination is anthropological, historical and
critical.
(Holmes et. al., 2003: 7)
FOUR SENSIBILITIES OF THE SOCIOLOGICAL
IMAGINATION
4. 1. The Analytical Sensibility (science)What are the components
of this situation and how do they relate to one another? The
search for trends, correlation, causes, structures, functions and
meanings that can be empirically demonstrated.
2. The Historical SensibilityWhere does this event, experience,
belief or biography stand in the course of history? How does
this current social phenomenon compare and contrast with past
historical events, experiences and possibilities?
3. The Anthropological Sensibility
How what is is done “here” different from what is done
elsewhere by “others”? Can the experience of different societies
and cultures help us understand our cultural situation and
ourselves better?
4. The Critical Sensibility
How could things be otherwise? Does the way that things
“happen to be” at present “have to be”? Are there better
alternatives for human ecology, communality and personal well
being than how things currently operate?
SOME MAJOR TYPES OF HUMAN SOCIETY
1. Hunter-Gatherer Societies (500,000? years ago)
2. Pastoral and Agrarian Societies (c. 12,000 years ago)
3. Traditional City-states I (Empires and Slavery) (6,000
years)
4. Traditional City-states II (“Feudal”) (800-1850 AD)
5. Modernity --- (200 years of Industrial-Capitalism)

This typology is based very loosely upon the third chapter in the
Third Edition (1997) of Anthony Giddens introductory textbook,
Sociology (Polity Press: Cambridge) which is on reserve in the
Library (at HM51 G444). For a more extended treatment of how
5. we might differentiate various “types” of society see Bodley, J.,

System, Third Edition. (Mayfield: Mountain View) Library Call
