Initial Post Instructions
Sociologist C. Wright Mills preferred to call the
sociological perspective the sociological imagination,
and he saw it transforming personal troubles into public
issues. Let us begin our discussion this week by
considering suicide, which is thoroughly explored in
Chapter 1 of the textbook.
For the initial post, address the following:
How does the sociological imagination help to
examine private acts such as suicide within a
larger societal context?
What are some examples of social forces
influencing youth suicide trends in the United
States, suicide trends in India, and suicide trends
in the U.S. military?
Use the sociological imagination to explain your
observations, and how the sociological
imagination helps us consider the causes and
possible solutions to suicide.
