The social imagination is defined as the vivid awareness of the relationship between experience and the wider society; the ability to see things socially and how they interact and influence each other.
To have a sociological imagination, a person must be able to pull away from the situation and think from an alternative point of view (Crossman, 2015, para. 8).
With practice, you can use your sociological imagination to better understand the circumstances of an unemployed person, a person of a different gender, a person from another country, or the CEO of a major corporation.
Throughout this course you will use your sociological imagination to view situations from a variety of perspectives.
