Essential, we have to figure out this sociological imagination immersion blender and discipline of

"Sociological imagination." The word is an American sociologist C. Wright Mills put forward, he wrote a book called "sociological imagination" (Sociological Imagination), this book which, he said: American sociologist C. Wright Mills put forward, he wrote a book called "sociological imagination" (Sociological immersion blender Imagination) For example, when you have no chance of trouble in love, this is your personal troubles, but how do you put it related to the average person The trouble, from the individual to the general public in the process, this process is a process of sociological imagination. C. Wright Mills referred to in the book: "sociological imagination we generally people immersion blender do not engage in, because people usually do not use the historical changes and social factors to explain their troubles endured," most people most often go to their situation due to personality, appearance, constellations, immersion blender etc., but, as Mills said: "Few people realize that there is a subtle engagement between the individual life style and the track history of the world ..." In other words, when we have no chance of trouble today love it on with our generation is actually very different feelings worry, your parents' generation may have free love culture, but your grandparents are not like this, they are often not built on the basis of marital immersion blender affection on but economic considerations, so the problem of modern love is unique, is an annoyance of our time, rather than our previous generation, the previous generation of troubles. Between personal life history with an ingenious engagement, most people do not have this experience, Mills went on to say: "Most people do not usually know that this engagement will become for them what kind of people, and they may be involved in shaping the What is the significance of history, because immersion blender they do not have a mental qualities that can discern people and society, biography immersion blender and history, self-interaction with society's view according to Mills: "Only positioned in its own era, individuals can understand their experience, and to measure their own destiny;. Only understanding surrounding the fate of individuals, in order to understand immersion blender their own destiny, "everyone is a life history, each one is very unique life history, you can see very much anecdotal biography written very much individual's life history, but there are places intersection between the individual's life history, biography with the big social changes, but it is ignored in many biographies. Personally, I grew very fond of watching biography so far, because I want to know more history of life, in order to get more inspiration, but I also find biographies mostly personal style, emphasis emphasize chance, suddenly encountered a mentor for some time, which when suddenly there is an elegant, they are less likely to put in a bigger chance to talk about the social environment. immersion blender It is in the sociology of knowledge to provide immersion blender such a capability, but also a perspective of looking at the world (or in English says world view). When you study the sociology of time, as you learn other social sciences, and you will cultivate the ability and outlook on life, so to grasp the connection between your personal and society. Grasp this connection properties in the end what is the use? I think there are basically two purposes, first, to transform the lives of individuals of great help, and everyone is very easy to fall into a dilemma, such as selecting future way, the individual is likely immersion blender to be in the family expectations and personal interests, interest and practical, and so the dilemma of pull, sociology mental qualities that can help you to think about this dilemma, this is a personal transformation. The second is the transformation around, when you find some of the issues immersion blender are not just personal troubles, you find that you is not beautiful or handsome enough in the eyes of others, not thin enough or strong, how can you convince the person next to you, the Your point of view say, the United States should not be only one standard, you find a way slowly to influence from the people around you, at least you do not obey their first appearance some 僵固 standards, your view is a kind of led people to change around the catalyst. There are many people after school sociology, not just to improve their own lives and the people around them, but also to improve the larger society, for example, there are a lot of people involved in social movements, and shared the same determination to contribute a little bit of common people We believe immersion blender that the beliefs onto society, I hope the whole community there are some basic changes, sociological imagination ultimately want to use for personal and social transformation. In short, sociology encourages us to go beyond individualistic way to face their own troubles and public issues. But I must say, as a teacher of sociology, this goal will not be easy to reach, because we must now popular individualistic immersion blender way of thinking alone. For example, recently, I saw a female beauty merchandise billboards that read: ". Think globally Act individually" immersion blender This sentence is changed over from the original intent of the expectations of globalization. "Think globally Act locally.." Today, we of course immersion blender should have a global perspective, but everyone immersion blender in the act or important. I see the phrase ad very cleverly locally to individaully, on the one hand highlights the personal style of action emphasized consumerism (not beautiful, not thin? Please join the ranks of the consumer "trust me, you can make it "), on the other hand is" the transformation of the individual "and" social transformation "control provides an excellent metaphor.
"Sociological imagination" this concept is the American sociologist C. Wright Mills made, and now the concept has become an essential tool for beginners sociology, but also the first to share our intention to readers. This teaching classic monograph by wide, many lecturers teaching will be a priority when teaching this section, there are good books there are poor, it can not help learning not deep, I fear, how can a simple and clear for the reader to capture immersion blender the imagination of a little sociology shadow. In this regard, I hope this article is to make the reader an overview of the remainder, more important is the ability to use sociological imagination, if you can do such a degree, immersion blender I think even enough. In this article, sociology and imagination will be introduced separately, the actual occurrence of this chapter may also be recognized as a "sociological" concept first post.
First introduced sociological imagination, then introduce "imagine", and finally try to introduce sociology, this sort is an imitation of NTU Humanities and Social battalions of curriculum planning, because I feel the same with the former lecturer who most easily explained, immersion blender and the community Science is the most difficult to define. In C. Wright Mills's "Sociological Imagination," in the book, he "annoyance" to resolve immersion blender the sociological imagination, we worry every day in their studies, popularity, dress, love, and it seems there is no particular thought to how others worry a. Our own troubles, the same environment, other people's troubles, troubles in a society with different cultures of different immersion blender troubles. In fact, sociological imagination here simply means that escape immersion blender the original framework to face a very different perspective of immediate problems related to "Everyone will be connected to their personal situation in the process immersion blender of public issues with the effort," Mills such a definition. If we complain about the high price unaffordable certain clothing brand, at this time we are called to reflect on the design orientation and taste the difference, and the burden of the price of consumer immersion blender groups, all sorts of thinking among the various projects immersion blender connected, that is, his own situation and draw on public issues to make contact, which is the process of sociological imagination. immersion blender
"Imagine" is different from experience, this is not to say imagine refers to the thin air of fantasy never happen or not happen these things, immersion blender imagine things will be touched is not so appear directly reflects the nature of life, and often may be necessary Special Consideration to do some of the concepts will get. Imagine go beyond the experience that we may not go "experience" (in this case as it is "aware") would like to consolidate the struggling middle-class status in society, but we are likely to let everyone feel like shouting recent "M-type! M-type! strange phenomenon "Zhuangqiong of. Sociological Imagination (Sociological Imagination) term captures the very precise concept, we do a lot of the real situation after the often imagine immersion blender the opportunity to get something more than to see. Why, then, if the "sociological" imagination, sociology of personal experience in such trip in there, what help it?
Sociology and social sciences in Taiwan claims to be the least known to the public, but also the most misunderstood subjects. Some people say that sociology is the study of "people", "Man immersion blender and Society", the interaction between "social and community" immersion blender among some people say that sociology is a tool for handling all matters, there are more different versions. Although the market just to "sociology is what" the name of the book there are several of the vocabulary used in the description are also different, but I do not think that sociology is really so complicated. We all know about the sociological study of some social relations, cultures, is also likely to know some of Marx, Weber, immersion blender like the sociologist, is really just a simple lack of clear terminology here to tell the whole sociology.
Essential, we have to figure out this sociological imagination immersion blender and discipline of sociology itself, what it can actually play a role. For me, that is a set of ideas and thought patterns sociology itself (some say he is an infinite power mode), face a variety of problems in society, such as inequality, bias, we must first understand the problem itself , can really come up with appropriate solutions. Use of sociological imagination to the sociology of knowledge as a backup, sociological observation mode, thinking about the world, will make it easier to identify the problem and analyze the overall structure immersion blender of the object. Sociology as a tool that can be applied to any thinking immersion blender person in relation to the community, to play its powerful features, and make sociological imagination is the first step.
Today, because of a high school camp, so I think we are more familiar from a popular culture talk. Here seen the movie "Titanic" please raise your hands, fine, many people have seen. I think you should be impressed to see the Titanic, in addition to the actress and actor Jack Rose love, you should also impressive piece of luxury ship, but also remember that the terrorist situation catastrophe process. When the disaster occurred, the sailors shouted immersion blender a slogan "Women and Children First"; although there are a lot of men are shameless rushing to go, but a lot of time will be blocked. About the Titanic, in fact, there are some you do not know the facts, is associated with our discussion.
In addition to the slogan "Women and Children First", then someone immersion blender doing research on this disaster found that if you are a child, you and your parents together today Ground Dani number, your chances immersion blender of survival after the board, because you sit Different layers and different. Titanic cabin below has three layers, the top layer of the most expensive, because you can see the sea views, while the bottom layer of course, is the worst. It was a ocean travel, you can imagine in that era, the fare must be very expensive, what kind of person can buy uppermost? Such people like Rose; like actor like punks, he can only cheat on board. Cabin different layers, in fact, reflect the social class I want to talk about today.
Today, immersion blender if you are with your parents go to the boat, I'm sure your parents money, will not be your own money, so you sit where one is not reflected in the socio-economic status of your parents ? Here the third floor, I called it in economy class, the second layer is an ordinary cabin, while the first floor is the luxurious cabin. Suppose you are a woman, if you sit in the first layer of luxury cabins, your mortality rate is 3 percent; if you take an ordinary cabin, immersion blender your mortality rate is 16%; if unfortunately you are a working-class immersion blender origin woman, you The mortality rate was 45%, which is almost half of the women will die there. Then we look at the child, if today your father to buy is uppermost luxurious cabin, your mortality rate is 0%, you will be rescued; If you buy today, your father was an ordinary cabin, your mortality rate is 0%; If you are unlucky today, your parents are working class, only let you sit in economy class, your mortality rate is 33%. We also see the overall mortality rate, if you are sitting luxurious cabin, your mortality rate is 40%, the mortality rate was 64% ordinary cabin, economy class is 76%.
I would like to say yes, you do not know the story of the Titanic, and you feel like this male unfair? If you are a child today, just because the money you pay is different, of course, the fundamental immersion blender reason is the different economic status of your parents, there is such a big difference immersion blender in the mortality rate will be a disaster, you would think this is a fair world? On the surface seems to be "Women and Children First", but there are a lot of mechanisms for the operation of the ship, including if you are in the bottom layer, the sailors will not remember a lot of time to help you open the turnstile; the other one of the most fundamental is simply not enough lifeboats is not enough lifeboats just need to do sacrifice. Although the "Women and Children First" on the surface, but this mechanism immersion blender in operation, each person in the rescue when there will be a very natural value, will be the first luxury immersion blender cabin to save the first layer, while ignoring the third layer in many others. Of course on lifeboats after the Titanic such as luxury boats, will require the same number and the number of lifeboats, not at the outset, only one-third of pre-order rescued in the disaster.
I want to talk about is the original immersion blender behind the Titanic had a very sad story about class. If you agree with the views I have just talked about, because of the economic situation of your parents in this community you will have different viability, which is in the very core of a sociological problem, we are concerned about such a class inequality. What is class inequality it? Basically class inequality with "social stratification" This concept is very relevant, it stresses that the resources of this society, unequal distribution of advantages and power. What is a community resource advantage? Including society very abstract, such as I told Today someone I was a professor, I am a researcher, I'll get some respect, this is a very abstract thing; in real terms is that, for example, I have no money in Dunhua South Road buy house, or I can live in relatively poor locations, like the last 14 illegal buildings on the 15th park, which relates to the resources you have, can buy things. Even the unequal distribution of political power, or a variety of other powers, these unequal distribution will make this society there is a class. I remember in high school social sciences have talked immersion blender about, like India's caste system system, immersion blender you may decide you born to be fixed at a certain class, it is very solid. Slowly we already believe, can not make a decision born, but with your job to make a decision, when sociologists talk about class, our definition is no longer how you were born, but with your work and work relationships have, for example, is defined immersion blender as someone
