The Sociological Imagination

Introduction

Social evolution dynamism is understood as the flow of social customs and beliefs of a society. The change is evident through each person's interactions with other social and as a whole affects the individual, setting a global communication behavior of subjects related. The forms and conventions of social dynamics are marked by history and thus subject to constant change.

The sociological imagination enables its possessor to understand the larger historical scene in terms of its meaning for the inner life and outer path diversity of individuals. The first fruit of this imagination is the ideas that the individual can understand their own experience and evaluate their own destiny locate themselves in their time (Walsh, 2000, 5). It also enables us to grasp history and biography and the relationship between the two within society, that is its task and its promise and is the sign of all the best of contemporary studies on man and society.

The most fruitful distinction with which the sociological imagination works are perhaps the one between "the personal concerns of the middle" and "public issues of social structure." This distinction is an essential tool of the sociological imagination and a feature of all classic work in social science. One concern is a private matter: values loved by one individual it looks like they are threatened. The problems relate to matters that transcend the local environment of the individual and the extent of their inner life. To realize the idea of social structure and use it wisely is to be able to discover these links from a wide variety of media, and be capable of its own sociological imagination (Spybey, 1992, 170).

The common denominator prevails not of course mean that there are other ways of thinking and other types of sensitivity. I believe that the sociological imagination is becoming the main common denominator of our cultural life and its distinctive feature. The qualities of the imagination have become fundamental features of intellectual and cultural sensitivity in a wide variety of expressions. Is a quality that seems to promise the most dramatic understanding of our own realities intimate relationship with the broader social realities? It is a mental faculty that enables men to evaluate situations from a perspective which transcends the strict confines of particularity, taking into account the historical processes and social-economic formation in which they are embedded, also allows them to overcome suffering and the devaluation of themselves, caused by a naive view (Callinicos, 2009, 21). Art is not made or may make these feelings as problems involving the concerns and doubts that men now have to face if they are to overcome their discomfort and indifference and anguish unbearable to drive.
