Document Summary

The sociological imagination written by c. wright mills (1959) Influenced the new left , the student movement of the 1960s o criticized segregation, civil war, violent o students protested for freedom of speech (mario savio speech at the town hall) But then you realize that all your friends don"t have jobs either. So then you realize that there is a bigger issue going on. Think about little differences and then you begin to think about your own society and see problems you might have never seen before. Questioning what we taken as given or natural in our lives = denaturalization. There are many answers to this. o freedom only emerges with capitalist societies (labor, purchasing, etc). Ex. this person probably has a better handle on someone that didn"t graduate. But if this is the case, why don"t people take online courses or perhaps fake a degree. Online degrees don"t have high standing in the business world.
