Sociological Imagination

This past week in sociology, we discussed life from another perspective. Sociological imagination.
Every morning as I wake up from my alarm, I proceed to go into my shower. As I shower I fantasize over the hot water, as I scrub myself clean. After I shower I then get dressed & head to school. This is what I do everyday Monday through Friday. As I bathe in hot water not thinking anything of it, it has impacted me more than I realize. For one, in many poor countries, children don't have alarms, let alone a shower to bathe in. As I type, reflecting on my experiences, I am using a computer. In some areas, computers are unheard of. These simple everyday things are just little pieces to the puzzle that molds me. 

Sociological Imagination is who I am, how I grew up, where I live currently. who you are based off how your society molded you. If I were born & raised into the same family but in another country, I would be different then how I am.






We don't 
remember 
days,
we remember
moments

  1. MICHAEL,
    I really like your shower example and how we take daily things for granted, and I like your quote.
