    James Henson is the author of our text, and I appreciate his “down-to-earth” approach to explaining the core concepts of sociology. Chapter one opens with a real life example that does a great job of setting the scene; sleeping in a room with 100 men or more, on dirty bedding, sleeping in day clothes, standing in lines for food and drink that was unappetizing, and using cups and bowls that were not sanitized. This social researcher in this example purposely placed himself in a different social location, and even though this was a deliberate choice to do this, he quickly felt uncomfortable. He wanted nothing more than to quit and return to his family, clean bed, healthy food and everything else that felt familiar to him (Henslin, 2).…

Wright Mills and Allan Johnson disagree and relate the importance of a “sociological imagination.” According to Mills, the sociological imagination is “a quality of mind” that allows its possessor to use information and develop reason in order to establish an understanding and a desire to apprehend the relationship between social and historical structures and one’s biography, or essentiality their experiences and individual lives (Mills 3).…

    Sociology is “the systematic study of human societies- everyday social life- out thoughts, actions, feelings, decisions, interactions, and so on- is the product of a complex interplay between societal forces and personal characteristics” (p.6).
