    I'm a retired sociology professor, having taught at a community college for 27 years. I'm so grateful for these talks. This man is absolutely wonderful, not only in what he discusses, but how he delivers the material. He's so right: Sociology is a unique breed of discipline. I may be biased, but I imagine sociology as the center of a flower and the other disciplines he mentioned are the petals. They are all part of the flower, but sociology is at the center. What can you do with a degree in sociology? You'll find sociology majors in business, journalism, law, government, healthcare, education, and many other areas. Studying sociology will open your mind and make you a more informed, well-rounded and engaged citizen. Thank you, NYU!!

      You're so right and you know what? I know people who've studied pure law and graduated in the top 2% of their class but have the worst people skills you could imagine. No firm would dream of hiring them....but someone with a sociology degree who can critically think, write and form arguments would breeze past them when going up for a job.....I'm a neuroscientist by profession but have always been fascinated by the humanities....it's that crucial intersection between creativity and science.....without it we'd be finished as a society....

    I've been reading The Sociological Imagination by C. Wright Mills and I must say I've been trying to discuss this matter with other people who are enlightened by the topic. The professor is genuine and light which lifts the burden of a complex topic into one that many may understand. It is truly a gift of teachers to evaluate and interpret their understandings of readings into comprehensible and coherent concepts. Late in the game but thank you!

That's how you know you've spurred someone to learn. Thank you for posting. Looking forward to your other videos. Near the beginning of the lecture, you speak of how we got here. This reminded me of a quote: "How did I get here? Somebody pushed me. Somebody must have set me off in this direction and clusters of other hands must have touched themselves to the controls at various times, for I would not have picked this way for the world." -Joseph Heller

      @@MrDsk777 Thank you, D K for your kind message. I have not actually returned to college, but I purchased a good-level distance learning/online course, and several textbooks. I enjoy learning about a number of subjects. Since my previous comment I became very interested in Geopolitics, and was astounded to learn how strongly geographical features influence political decisions by the world's governments. Tim Marshall has written two amazing books on the subject; 'Prisoners of Geography', and 'The Power of Geography'. He can be found discussing this subject on You Tube.
      The most important area of study for me is the study of the bible, which I have studied for forty years plus. So many prophetic and eschatological teachings in the bible can be seen to have occurred exactly as predicted, and are unfolding unmistakably today. For example, one has only to look at the build up of arms factories in Syria and the Persian Gulf area over the past decade, by Russia and Iran, to see how these countries, together with Lebanon, Sudan and Libya and a number of other countries in the region surrounding the Holy land, are planning and preparing to invade Israel. Turn to Ezekiel chapters thirty eight and thirty nine to see this foretold in detail. Read also what the outcome is going to be! You will be well ahead of all the current political journalists and commentators!
      Note also how the world of the cashless society is being promoted as international banks deal in Bitcoin and virtual currencies, and see also how the one world government is being formed, as foretold by the apostle John in Revelation chapter thirteen, where the coming world dictator is referred to as the beast from the sea, and his right hand man as the beast from the land. The new world order, being enticingly advertised as 'building again better', is coming soon. And it won't be pretty! Safety is only to be found for any individual in the Lord Jesus Christ (Rev. 3 v10). For the world as a whole the day of grace is very soon to give way to the day of judgement. But it is not yet too late for any individual to find safety in Christ.
      I wish you well D K. Thank you again.

    Interesting introduction into a broad and fascinating field of study. As a multiracial individual finally striving for higher education, it was incredible to hear how such blatant racism and classism dictated much, if not all, admissions into such prestigious schools in the past. These are definitely situations I've been aware of for a while but to hear it put so poignantly just reaffirms my understanding that even the prime educational institutions and intelligence arenas undergo the same evolutionary tribalism as any other in-group/out-group dynamic. Thank Logos for affirmative action and the internet! 😂

    I've studied sociology for 20 years and I'm 36. I can tell you this....the social racial operation of oppression is all invasive. It is absolutely one of the worst (if not the very worst) social issues you could find in the scope of sociology as a social phenomena, or social problem. The fact there are many white sociologists who do not highlight this as their findings, means they are complicit, an ally to the social force, knowing how invasive the problem is and not highlighting it enables covert operation. Like this man said, sociology involves all aspects and every area of human activity...including psychology. I am content with the fact that sociology is my life's study and I study everyday, and sometimes all day. Sociology is such an important field of study and pertains to the very essence of our lives that sociologists are doing a disservice to society by letting the study appear as 'just another course at university'. As it was said, "sociology is in a league of it's own, but is connected to everything else".

      @@Thedreamer20015 Can I ask you a question about Sociology? Why is the Dichotomy between the Minority & Majority not being studied?
      We know that people behave differently when they are in a mob vs when alone & here we see the diff between being part of the majority(mob) vs the minority(single)
      But other areas do not seem to be studied
      For eg I was told by a black colleague that I was going to hell - works don't matter, all that matters is belief!
      Change the word belief to skin color & suddenly the black man would be lecturing me on how we should judge people based on who they are as people, not for the color of their skin
      And yet the religion he belongs to says, "God" doesn't care for who we are as people, only our beliefs, our religion
      That was the fate of Jews under Nazi Germany - who they were as people did not matter, only their religion mattered & that got them dumped into gas chambers in hell
      And we see my colleague - a black man - openly siding with Nazis and Racists when it came to religion - well, now he was with the Majority religion! And his views changed accordingly
      I have written to so many publications, academia, but so far none have replied to me - what is going on?

      They are people just like us, they want the same things as us, we should treat all people equally
      Wonderful words - no one disagrees with those views
      And then we go to any Muslim-majority country say Pakistan and now we see the same people throwing religion in our faces - all the laws changed to favor Muslims, non-Muslims abused as 2nd class people and no where to be found - whether it is in govt, business, entertainment - it is religious discrimination in your face!
      The change happens so quick & amazingly they are not even aware of it!

    CW Mills was a hero of the new left and since this is about one of his top books, it would be only natural for the professor to give Mills' viewpoints which would be with a left wing intent. Unless of course, the professor should have taken a neocon stance on Mills and trashed him. The professor did a good job in explaining what the sociological imagination is from the viewpoint of Mills and how Mills looked at the world.

Most don't act but when we/I do,it can be catastrophic and we are honesty not having a conversation about it, when necessary. During the negative state of the mind. I hope that makes sense?

    I didn't understand why technique of geographic distribution didn't work. He said that they were getting the wrong kind of people. Why? Can someone explain?

      Because they then accept people who wouldn't have met their criteria beforehand or it wasn't impacting their numbers enough.

    Perhaps biography and history interplay is exact way to understand the subjectivity and laws of the motion of history. For it intersects power, time and space. It is what sociological imagination is all about.

    definition: "sociology is a discipline that expands our awareness and analysis of the human social relationships, cultures, and institutions that profoundly shape both our lives and human history."
    So imagine my surprise when I took this course and found several times more content in the realm of gay sex, it's history, power dynamics, etc. etc. than there was on the role of men within society, male culture, heirarchies, etc. In fact, the male half of the species, or at least the straight portion, is largely ignored in the course so far (I'm on #16 so far, which is mostly about homosexuality) except in so much as they oppress and otherwise mess with females and people that don't fit societal norms.
    I think it's much more accurate to call the course "Introduction to the Progressive Mindset", as you'll find all the favorite progressive subjects.
    And I don't say that as a bad thing. I highly recommend the course for the vast majority of the population that aren't progressive but find themselves forced to conform to their social norms under threat of sanction or unemployment. Mine fields are much easier to navigate with a map.

    The Jewish migration and quotas for Jews in those East Coast schools were in the 19th century, not the 20th. That is why Chicago attracted a large contingent of Jews in its earliest years because Chicago had no quotas for Jews.
