Improved Essays
Before beginning this essay on Sociological Imagination, I wanted to state that the Pittsburgh Steelers are the best Football team in the world and Eminem is the best rapper to spit. Sociological Imagination is how one thing that is affecting one culture can also have an affect on my culture at the same time. The problem I think of that fits this is ISIS. ISIS is an extremely violent and ruthless terrorist group. They don't care how or what you do they are out to kill. This radical group is having a huge effect on the world. I believe that the group is going to continue their savage efforts until someone says enough is enough and attacks. The whole world is going to point to us. The United States of America and frankly we don't have the right

    The world has become a place of utter chaos, a place where you constantly have to look over your shoulder, that is not any way someone should live. The world took a radical turn back in 1933, if the date sounds familiar, it should be. That is the date when the horrific events of the Holocaust began. Thinking back to all of the innocent people that lost their lives and didn’t have a clue what was happening should make a person feel the least bit angry, or wish that people had gotten more involved sooner.

    A specific dystopian trait that ISIS fulfills is the devotion to a figurehead by citizens of the society. This is clearly portrayed through the Islamic State, specifically through the evidence that “all Muslims are ordered to swear allegiance to their leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and migrate to territory under the state’s control” (“What Is ‘Islamic State’? – BBC News). This displays how the leaders of ISIS have influenced their followers, turning what may have seemed as a perfect utopia from the inside, to a corrupt, dystopian world when viewed from the outside. This change occurs as the flaws in ISIS are discovered.…
