Sociological Imagination Simply put, sociological imagination is being able to connect a personal challenge to a larger societal issue.C. Wright Mills, considered the father of sociological imagination, once said “neither the life of an induvial nor the history of society can be understood without understanding both” (Mills, 1959).He felt that there was a balance between individuals and the system they are within and that it is imperative to understand the relationship between the two.When we broaden our perspective and look at a certain situation a person is going through, we are able to see how society has failed and where we can work to improve it.By having this perspective, we do more than observe.We can expose social injustices, act, and make a change. Social Problem – Eating Disorders Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating and they are a mental illness that affect both women and men.Typically, we associate a person’s eating disorder to be their own personal trouble and they just lack self-control or suffer from low self-esteem.While that might be true, is does not explain or help us understand why so many people develop an eating disorder
