Answer to Question 1

 The sociological imagination is a point of view that highlights how society affects the experiences we have and the choices we make.
 Sociology's key insight is that many of the personal troubles people face are really social issues with their roots in the operation of the larger society.
 U.S. sociologist C. Wright Mills explained that using the sociological imagination helps see how society shapes our personal lives; by helping us to see the world in a new way, the sociological imagination gives us power to bring about change.
