Sociological imagination is “the vivid awareness of the relationship between experience and the wider society" (Crossman, 2019). The concept was explained by C. Wright Mills (Crossman, 2019). Sociological imagination means that people should be able to see how society works and how interactions occur. It is the ability to see the situation from a third neutral perspective. The book by Mills discusses the abstract concepts of the individual and society. There are many problems in society like being jobless affects an individual, but is a social issue as it affects the economy and society.
