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
The readings on urban livelihoods, spatial segregation, and environmental racism tellcommon (and slightly different) stories about people and place in urban settings. Where isthere similarity across all of these readings? For example, how do people generally seemto respond to challenging circumstance(s) in their neighborhoods according to thesearticles? 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? Please draw on direct examples from one article outof each of the weeks to answer these questions. This means you should use examplesfrom a total of three articles. One article from urban livelihoods. One article from spatialsegregation. One article from environmental racism.
Deviance, unconventional behavior, and underground activities is underexplored inmainstream sociology and mainstream urban sociology. However, Terry Willams,Michele Foucalt, Saskia Sassen, and Ruth Wilson Gilmore give us some ways to thinkabout these social phenomena. Along these lines, what are some examples of deviance,unconventional, or non-mainstream that at least two of these authors write about? 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? How do you propose we better understand those other examples? Please draw ondirect examples from at least two articles out of the five articles that we have read fromthese authors to answer these questions.
