Explanation: The concept of Social Imagination was first propounded by sociologist C.W. Mill. While describing the concept of Social Imagination, Mill said “Neither the life of an individual nor the history of a society can be understood without understanding both”. The sociological imagination is an attempt to establish the connection between personal challenges and larger social issues. Mills identified “troubles” (personal challenges) and “issues” (larger social challenges), also known as biography, and history, respectively. Mills’ conceptualization of the sociological imagination allows individuals to see the relationships between events in their personal lives, biography, and events in their society, history. In other words, this mindset provides the ability for individuals to realize the relationship between personal experiences and the larger society.
