Imagination Sociological

  • The national cost of a gallon of gas, the War in the Middle East, the repressed economy, the trend of having too few females in the 18-24 year old singles market, and the ever-increasing demand for plastic surgery are just a few of the social facts at play today

      Social facts are experiences as 'outside' of an individual's control. 
  • but we rarely find a way to significantly impact them back.

      They impact us but we don't (or very rarely) have an impact on them.
  • False Social Conscious which  is an ignorance of social facts and the larger social picture.

      Absolutely i think that teens live by the following : Ignorance is bliss. And can you blame them? Can you blame any one that thinks this way for that matter. In a sense i wish i could be ignorant to problems present in society because I A) Wouldn't feel so threatened by things i cant control and B) I wouldn't feel morally or ethically at fault for the decisions of my nation.

      This is the reason that this sociological imagination is important.  How does this resemble Sam Richard's idea of 'radical empathy'?

      I think that it relates because the more you understand the social facts, the more you'll have sociological imagination and the more you'll have radical empathy.

      Social facts and personal troubles relate with each other. Sometimes things such as our environment can affect our "personal troubles" such as, obesity, depression, poverty, etc.

      It resembles radical empathy in the fact that they both require a person to be able to recognize social facts.

      These two things are intertwined because many of out personal trouble is caused by these social facts that we are powerless against.
    • Joe Inhaber
      Joe Inhaber on 15 Dec 11
       
      I think that this relates because in a sense, we all need to know whats really going on even if it isn't necessarily things that are reported on our daily news channels. I think the relation is that we need to learn to think about things that we wouldn't nesceseraly like to be true, much like how most people find it uneasy to step into the shoes of Iraqi war prisoners.

      Personal troubles and social facts are very closely related. If you have a sociological imagination, you can see the social facts in different situations or different parts of the world, which makes you more understanding. That is where the radical empathy ties in.

      They share the same thought of looking at the situation from another perspective. "Putting yourself in their shoes". Radical empathy plays an important role, it allows us to see how they feel.

      Social facts and personal problems are related in some kind of way. Radical empathy is the relationship and getting to understand the difference between you and other people.

      By understanding empathy and the sociological imagination, we become a step closer in having a much broader, educated and compassionate picture of the world we live in, all six billion of us. 
    • Alex Maguid

      Theres a fine difference between social facts and sociological imagination and both are believed to change us into the people we are today. However, in order to understand not only the way in which you are personally effected but how the other societies are effected by there own sociological imagination/social facts. rational empathy come into play when we begin to understand the social facts of the people that your own personal fats have taught you to be bling too.

      Social imagination and radical empathy relate because you need to understand social facts to have radical empathy.
