Question 2

John is taking an introductory sociology class. As a result, he is conscious of his environment and carefully thinks about what he sees rather than jumping to quick conclusions. He notices a homeless man on his way to class every day.

Using his sociological imagination, what might John conclude about this man's circumstances?
a. John reacts with frustration. He considers the homeless man's situation as a personal problem. The man, obviously, is lazy and chooses not to work.
b. John reacts with indifference. Although he would not make the same choice, the homeless man, obviously, has chosen to live off handouts rather than work.
c. John reacts with sympathy. He considers the social circumstances that may have drawn the homeless man into poverty and wonders why so many are unemployed. He concludes that because of social change, the homeless man has lost his housing along with his job.
d. John is sympathetic and recognizes that the homeless man is an alcoholic, but his particular diseasealcoholismis a personal, not a social, issue.
