Mills’ description of the distinctions and connections between private troubles and public issues explains the way in which they can have an effect on a society. According to Mills, personal troubles ‘occur within the character of the individual and within the range of his immediate relations with others’ (1959: 8). It is distinctly private and exists within oneself together with areas of social life that the
Within the natural world security is very fundamental to survival and living things gravitate towards it. Basic needs such as air, food, water, disease avoidance and shelter from the elements are vital. Within the social world like the natural it forms the basis to which people and society can function well, and explains why security is of primary concern through all spheres of said society. This assignment seeks to look at the role matter plays in making social worlds secure or insecure. This will be done by uncovering that which is often taken for granted about the role materiality plays in the social world through theories, concepts and examples of security in various settings such as the individual, the home, the city and other parts of society.

I can recall the first time I laid my hands on a Harry Potter book. It was in second grade, and someone had suggested to me that I should really try to read the series, as it was one of the best literary works out there. I read the first five pages, before I decided that all the witchcraft and wizardry was not for me. Seven-year-old me did not know how mistaken I truly was. I never genuinely gave it a chance, and thought that the only books for me were shallow tales about life as a rich middle school girl. Until one fateful night in the October of 2012, the gift that was the Harry Potter universe was not in my heart. As soon as I picked it up from the library to read in the event of no power during Hurricane Sandy, I was hooked. While utter
The social realm, where the life process has established its own public domain, has let loose an unnatural growth, so to speak, of the natural; and it is against this growth, not merely against society but against the growing social realm, that the private and intimate, on the one hand, and the political (in the narrower sense of the word), on the other, have proved incapable of defending themselves.

Using imagination and creativity, J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series has defined literature as transformative. In this seven-book series J.K Rowling imagined and creatively pieced together a fantasy world of muggles, wizards, tyrants, and heroes to symbolically share with readers problems plaguing modern society. Similar to Shelley’s work of the past, never before have readers in the modern era seen teenage and adult mania surrounding an 11-year-old wizard. Some will argue that J.K. Rowling’s young-adult series lacks depth or wants to twist young minds by using magic and evil, but through close examination it is evident that
Another factor which I believe has led to the novels success is that while reading, the reader wishes that they could live in this fantasy world created by Rowling where life is anything but ordinary.

For the latter half of the Twentieth Century, the dominant school of thought related to security was neo-realism. Stemming from works produced by Hobbes, Thucydides, and Machiavelli, followers of the neo-realists paradigm sought to see the world for what it was, rather than what they wished (Crawford 1991; Terrif et al., 1991).
