The concept of sociological imagination allows us to step outside our own zone of judgment about how we think about social problems. C. Wright Mills' argument is that we should develop a method or way of looking at things in society from the point of view of the person experiencing the sociological phenomenon. In essence, we cannot look at things from our own moral point of view; we need to look at things from the point of view of the person experiencing them. Mills thinks they cannot understand each other as individuals; nor can they understand their role and perspectives as individuals in society. We need to know the structure of society, where today's society stands in the development of human history, and what varieties of men and women predominate in our society. Linking your personal life to the social structure means using your sociological imagination. Mills also argued that the individual views his life as a trap and that one cannot understand the life of an individual without also understanding the history of society. They do not possess the quality of mind necessary to grasp the interaction of a different society and each person's history. They cannot face and resist their difficulties in ways that control the structural transformations that usually underlie them. They generally do not define the troubles they endure in terms of historical development and institutional contradiction. They generally do not attribute the ups and downs of the societies in which they live. The very shaping of history now exceeds the capacity of people to orient themselves in accordance with the values ​​they hold dear. However, C. Wright Mills then offers his solution that the way we see the world around us can help us...... middle of paper ......e and how to make money through to war. However, the public issues of war have consequences on economic, political, family and religious organizations. Man is powerless to prevent war. Another example is marriage. Within the marriage there may be personal problems. However, when the divorce rate in the first four years reaches 250 out of 1000 marriages, it becomes a public issue related to the institution of society and the stress it places on married couples. The last example given by Mills is that of the metropolis; living in the city can be a personal problem or challenge. However, city design and management is a public issue, and this is how personal problems are solved through better design and management of large cities. Structural changes in the environment and organization are more complex, more stressful and understanding these things requires sociological imagination..
