Detailed explanation-1: -The sociological imagination is making 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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Using the sociological imagination, we can view these issues as interconnected personal and public concerns. For example, homelessness may be blamed on the individuals who are living on the streets.
