In his essay on the sociological imagination, C Wright Mills asserts the following:a. “We have come to know that every individual lives from one generation to thenext, in some society; that he lives out a biography, and that he lives it out withinsome historical sequence. By the fact of his living he contributes, howeverminutely, to the shaping of this society and to the course of its history, even as heis made by society and by its historical push and shove.” P.6What does he mean by this statement? How does it begin to explain his concept calledsociological imagination? What are some other examples of how he defines sociologicalimagination? Please provide an example of sociological imagination while using one ofthe following semester’s readings (On the Run OR The Mark of a Criminal Record).How does the author of On the Run OR The Mark of a Criminal Record use sociologicalimagination to explain the social phenomenon that interests them? Is the author’s use ofsociological imagination convincing? Why or why not? Please provide direct examplesfrom the readings and from any real-life examples (as reported in newspapers oracademic journals) that you already know about.2

What does challenge or despair look like in these neighborhoods? What aresimilar structural problems in these neighborhoods? Finally, how do people persist andthrive in these neighborhoods and how do they fail in these neighborhoods? Why isunderstanding any of this important?

One article from urban livelihoods. One article from spatialsegregation. One article from environmental racism.

Whatis deviant, unconventional or non-mainstream about their subject matter? How does theirwriting complicate our conventional understanding of these topics? Why is theirperspective worth reading? What are some other examples of deviant, unconventional ornon-mainstream behaviors that are not fully understood in other sociological subjectmatters?
