So, this week in Sociology class we discussed over a few things that I found very interesting. One of the things we discussed in class was about what having a Sociological Imagination is and what it does to others. Sociological Imagination means what influences you to be who you are. We also learned about having Sociological Mindfulness.Sociological Imagnation is things that shaped or influenced you by the time period and where you live. Sociological Imagination can affect you in a lot of ways such as the video Mr. Salituro showed in class this week. The video related to how people are affected by technology nowadays. In the video, it was related to how people frequently use their phones and suddenly become "attached" to it. They just assume that processes zoom by but when it doesn't, they freak out and think their phones are broken. After that, they all of a sudden become into a bad mood. This video showed how phones affect our daily lives. Sociological Mindfulness can be expressed into alot of different ways such as, making positive changes to change our daily lives. An example of this would be texting because when people text their friends they don't realize the impact it could have on one another because its not in person and you don't realize if you are hurting the other person's feelings or not. Therefore, texting truly doesn't have meaning and thats the bad thing that people don't realize because they aren't talking one on one with the person. I feel that texting lacks in most friendships with communication. Therefore, that can be one positive change in one's life.
