    I am writing an assignment about the concept of "social imagination," and honestly, your video is really helpful. Thanks for posting this video, and please upload more videos that discuss sociology concepts.

    psychology is the study of behaviour and sociology the study of society and its relations with the individual

    Wow! This is an excellent presentation. The topics are explained well with just enough, and not distracting, graphics. Your speaking voice is enjoyable, clearly enunciating and professional. I would enjoy taking a class by you based on this video. For any other profs out there looking for videos to link to - this is a good one. I noticed this after watching a video required for the Sociology class I am taking.

      What you're all experiencing is something called association. You associate the font with this lecturer or someone she reminds you of.

    Free thought and free choice. It's reality. Regardless of the choice, it's free choice, to me. To the topic of being unbiased, because it's those shoes that are on and being used. Just like an algorithm spreads, socially a decision spreads for me or the individual. It's the judgement that stops the learning before the problem evolves to be solved. I thank you for teaching me this. Now look at problem being so complex that it takes every aspect of game theory. All formulas to solve. As an individual, you get trapped in this game not having a theory or formula for problem solving thus chaos sets in and danger or depression result from lack of probability. It's at that moment that you have no answers. Life becomes empty and no fun. Combine that with others taking your probabilities away on purpose and then you get close to true individual reality. It's doesn't appear to be altruistic does it?

    Mills's work wasn't designed to transfer blame for personal problems to the greater society. "This does not excuse the individual" - yet this lecture implies that it does.

    isn't it a paradox that if personal problems are due to social problems, individual causes the problems because society is a product of the individual?

    • @debramarshall905
      @debramarshall905  7 днів тому +1

      I think that’s too simplistic for a complex society with a well-developed social structure. Yes, individuals must take personal responsibility for personal issues, but I think your “paradox” speaks more to what we need from our institutions and what role they play in perpetuating problems that people experience.

    • @daber2000
      @daber2000 6 днів тому

      @@debramarshall905 Interesting. There should be a balance. As we uncover more social issues, the notion of personal responsibility should be instilled with equal impetus
