Question:
One version of such a map is already provided to us in childhood by the process of socialisation, or how we are taught to make sense of the world around us. This is the common sense map. But as pointed out earlier, this kind of map can be misleading and distorted.
Which of the following is correct about the observation of C. Wright Mill' about social issues and personal problems?
Options:
He argues that we can develop the map with sociological knowledge by connecting personal problems and social issues.
Sociological knowledge can help you to predict social issues.
Leaving map and focusing on social issues will help you to recover from personal problems.
Sociological knowledge clears social issues which makes personal problems nothing
Correct Answer:
He argues that we can develop the map with sociological knowledge by connecting personal problems and social issues.
Explanation:
But sociology can do more than simply help to locate you or others in this simple sense of describing the places of different social groups. As C.Wright Mills, a well-known American sociologist has written, sociology can help you to map the links and connections between “personal troubles” and “social issues”. By personal troubles Mills means the kinds of individual worries, problems or concerns that everyone has.
