Introduction Social identity theory proposed by Tajfel & Turner (2004) is a theory of group membership and behaviour which has made significant contributions in explaining in-group favouritism, out-group denigration, competition and other interactions of an individual among social groups (Korte, 2007; Brown, 2000; Tajfel & Turner, 2004).

After reading the readings that I have read for this paper makes me sit back and think how others were raised. I wonder if these people were taught right from wrong. It is really hard for me to think that so many people just think of themselves and do not want to help anybody else out in a time of need. If it be at work, personal life, or in a state of emergency.

Sociological imagination basically opens your eyes to see the bigger picture towards different issues in our society. Rather than make accusation or “excuses” for why someone has lost their job you realize that it was not something personal.

care about and respect you. To me, this means a lot to have the respect of another person, it means that they support me somewhat. For the most part, I try to also analyze any other person's responsibility and how they handle it. This affects how I view them, and I wouldn't expect any less of them when they judge my character and responsibility. By demonstrating how responsible I am, the relationship I have with other people, and their opinion of me will

In my own words, The Sociological imagination is the relationship between the personal problem and society problems. It is also being able to understand that there are problem that man can control and possibly could change to benefit itself.
