What is the Sociological Imagination?
Sociologists tend to be quite meritocratic amongst themselves. They have no issue with one developing theory, the other research, another dedicated to activism, with some teaching in a classroom. It is generally recognised that all spheres are necessary.
Some professions find themselves boxed in, a doctor may only be viewed as being allowed to preserve and continue human life. Thereby shunned when they choose to venture into cosmetic careers.
Do you agree? This reflection task can be done alone, with friends, family or colleagues. If brave, you may even want to ask a stranger on the streets.
