Discussion and reply 2 two peers questions

In “The Promise,” C. Wright Mills described one’s sociological

imagination as being the ability to examine “the intersection between

biography and history.” Select a famous figure from contemporary society

(actor, musician, athlete, author, politician, etc.) and, using your

own sociological imagination, imagine how different his or her life

would have been if he or she were living 50 or 100 years earlier.

Describe what those differences might be, paying particular attention to

societal expectations (e.g., would a female primarily do domestic work

in the home, or would she work in an office?) and characteristics that

might be relevant (e.g., race, gender, class, occupation, marital

status, etc.).

In response to your peers, explain the similarities and differences between your assessment and theirs.
