Sociological imagination assignment

C. Wright Mills defined the sociological imagination as the capacity for individuals to understand the relationship between their individual lives and the broad social forces that influence them. In other words, the sociological imagination helps people link their own individual biographies to the broader forces of social life: "Neither the life of an individual nor the history of a society can be understood without understanding both" (Mills 1959).

In this assignment, you will use this sociological imagination to analyze a situation that happened in your life and has had a huge impact on you.
