3. After this week’s readings and videos, what ideas about the sociological imagination stand out to you? Is the concept still confusing? Is the concept challenging for you to believe? Did you have an “Ah ha!” moment about any quotes or information from the video? What part?

Bonus Question (+2 points)
4. How has this week’s material helped you sociologically imagine your own personal circumstances or troubles during the pandemic are connected to larger structural issues? Are your individual troubles solely unique? Or, are other similarly situated people also impacted in similar ways as you?
- As Mills points out, it can be hard to think about the impacts of large scale issues on our “inner lives”. I recommend reading a few short essays on sociology and Covid from one of these online sources to help. Use the “Search” box to try and find essay: “Covid” and “Race”,etc.
