Journal 1, Coronavirus

Question1 : Define and describe the sociological imagination. Using the concept of the sociological imagination, discuss how our society's response to the Coronavirus pandemic is shaping your life (remember, it is society's response to the Coronavirus that is shaping our lives, not only the virus itself). Please address the economy, education, media, and/or family (choose two).

Imagine living 1000 years ago: The virus itself may not have spread as rapidly since (most) people did not live in large urban areas. The virus would not have spread across the entire world because there was not regular contact (through travel, commerce, etc.) between different countries or societies. People sick with the virus who needed respirator would not be in the hospital using a respirator because there were no hospitals or respirators. People would not have been getting information on the virus through the media, because there was no mass media. The social world affects the spread of the virus and how society responds to the virus.

Journal 2, Social Class, Race-Ethnicity and Coronavirus
