Introduction
Sociological imagination refers to being able to see connections between personal events and society. Seeing individual problems as part of a societal problem can help people realize that forces beyond themselves may be contributing to their problem, and relieve some pressure associated with self-blame. A friend may find solace if they realize being laid off is not the result of their behavior, but of larger economic and social factors. This helps them to avoid personalizing the event and allows them to see solutions without the interference of negative self-talk.
