Mary Romero's essay "Intersection of Biography and History: My Intellectual Journey" illustrates C. Wright Mill's concept of the Sociological Imagination in three aspects. First Romero is observing the girl in a detached fashion and not letting the personal aspects cloud the Sociological Imagination. Then Romero connects personal problems to societal forces because Juanita's problem was that she was not being treated fairly as the other kids in the household. She was the only one working with all the household chores while other kids were enjoying their life and giving her orders instead. One day Romero observed that the employer's younger son was giving orders to Juanita and Juanita just stood there shocked and humiliated. Since she was a servant, she could not express her feelings because no one really cared. She was just a servant for them. Romero deals really well in this situation. She reallocates the chores to everyone in the household and divides the workload.

To me culture was basically how I was raised—my behaviors, beliefs, values, and ideas cultivated during my youth and its evolvement as I grew into an adult.
