127. Define sociology nd explin how it helps us to better understnd our socil world nd ourselves. Sociology is the systemtic study of humn society nd socil interction. Sociologists study humn societies nd their socil interctions to develop theories of how humn behvior is shped by group life nd how, in turn, group life is ffected by individuls. Sociology helps us gin better understnding of ourselves nd our socil world. It enbles us to see how behvior is lrgely shped by the groups to which we belong nd the society in which we live. Most of us tke our socil world for grnted nd view our lives in very personl terms. Becuse of our culture's emphsis on individulism, we often do not consider the complex connections between our own lives nd the lrger, recurring ptterns of the society nd world in which we live. Sociology helps us look beyond our personl experiences nd gin insights into society nd the lrger world order. A society is lrge socil grouping tht shres the sme geogrphicl territory nd is subject to the sme politicl uthority nd dominnt culturl expecttions. Exmining the world order helps us understnd tht ech of us is ffected by globl interdependence reltionship in which the lives of ll people re intertwined closely nd ny one ntion's problems re prt of lrger globl problem. Individuls cn mke use of sociology on more personl level. Sociology enbles us to move beyond estblished wys of thinking, thus llowing us to gin new insights into ourselves nd to develop greter wreness of the connection between our own "world" nd tht of other people. Sociology provides new wys of pproching problems nd mking decisions in everydy life. Sociology promotes understnding nd tolernce by enbling ech of us to look beyond our personl experiences.

Wright Mills ment by the sociologicl imgintion. Mills described sociologicl resoning s the sociologicl imgintion the bility to see the reltionship between individul experiences nd the lrger society. This wreness enbles us to understnd the link between our personl experiences nd the socil contexts in which they occur. The sociologicl imgintion helps us distinguish between personl troubles nd socil (or public) issues. Personl troubles re privte problems tht ffect individuls nd the networks of people with which they ssocite regulrly. As result, these problems must be solved by individuls within their immedite socil setting. For exmple, one person being unemployed or running up high credit crd debt could be identified s personl trouble. Wheres socil (or public) issues re problems tht ffect lrge numbers of people nd often require solutions t the societl level.
