Sociological Imagination of C.W. Mills)

Hey Guys, this is a note of Sociologcial Imagination of C.W Mills.Every one just read once and if you like it then copy for reference for your future study. Sociological Imagination of C.W. Mills) Charles Wright Mills was born on 24 August 1916 AD and died on 20 March 1962. He was a professor of sociology at Columbia University from 1946 until his death in 1962. The term 'Sociological Imagination' was first used by C. W. Mills in his book 'Sociological Imagination' in 1959. The book 'Sociological Imagination' has added more importance to the development of sociological thinking. While defining sociological thinking, Mills said that Sociological Imagination allows us to grasp the interconnectedness of history and biography. Its implication is that the sociological hypothesis clarifies the relationship between the biography of a human being and his history. If a person does not know anything about his past, his present cannot be understood. Therefore, the main subject of sociological thinking is that the imprint of the present of human beings is evident in the past. Therefore, the present cannot be understood without understanding the past. Mills has said that the life of an individual nor the history of a society can be understood without understanding both. Therefore, sociological hypothesis helps to differentiate between individual experiences and public issues. For example, poverty, suicide. This approach helps to understand how individual causes and environment are related to or affected by the social system, to understand issues such as divorce. The basic objective of the sociological hypothesis is to develop the capacity to participate in social life and connect those developments to the world system. It is related to the fact that it can be explained and analyzed. Structural analysis is an important perspective in sociology. It analyzes the various structures of the social system. When people interact with each other to fulfill their many needs, they establish relationships and that web of relationships is called society. From the study of the first chapter about this It can be understood about the society itself. Therefore, for society, it can be said that human beings, beliefs, customs, laws, social rules, social values, traditions, institutions, etc. are the structures of society. Herbert Spencer is the first scholar to explain the term communication in the field of sociology (Herbert Spencer). He said that just as there are different structures of organisms, similarly, there are different structures of society, and these structures grow and expand. Structure is the arrangement of small units of different things or objects in order to build any house or organism or social system. Those structures are interrelated and interdependent. When it comes to social structure, various units and parts of the society are interdependent with each other and are systematically organized and contribute to making the society dynamic. A scholar who made important contributions to structural analysis, R.K. Merton R. K. Because of Merton, his contribution has been elaborated in structural functionalism. Macro Structure and Micro Daily Since it is difficult to understand about the overall structure without knowing what the structure is, the meaning of the structure must be understood. In the general sense, the small units of an object that are organized together are called structures. If the various parts of a human being, such as hands, ears, nose, neck, eyes, knees, etc., are not separate and organized in the human body, then it is called the structure of the human body. Just like the human body, every society has structures. The social structures of some societies are extensive, while the social structures of some societies are few and few, but human society without structures cannot be imagined. Social structure can generally be divided into two parts as follows: • Macro Structure: It is clear from the meaning that the macro structure accepts the society as a unit and looks at the effects it has on various structures and the relationships and interrelationships of the structures. For example, theories like functionalism, struggle, world order, dependency, etc. are theories with a broad structure, while democracy, democracy, etc. are broad structures. • Micro structure (Micro structure): The micro structure emphasizes the needs of the person by placing him in the center. Studies in microstructures such as folklore, symbolism, interactionism is included. Individual needs, wants, social institutions like family, marriage, kinship are also microscopic structures. बृहत् संरचना र सूक्ष्म दैनिकी (Macro Structure and Micro Daily) संरचना भनेको के हो भन्ने नजानीकन बृहत् संरचनाका बारेमा बुझ्न गाह्रो पर्ने हुनाले संरचनाको अर्थ बुझ्नुपर्दछ । सामान्य अर्थमा कुनै वस्तु चिजको सानो-सानो एकाइहरू जो एकआपसमा व्यवस्थितरूपले मिलेर बसेका हुन्छन् भने यसलाई संरचना भनिन्छ । एउटा मानवको विभिन्न अङ्गहरू जस्तै : हात, कान, नाक, घाँटी, आँखा, घुडा आदि छुट्टाछुट्टै नभई मानव शरीरमा व्यवस्थित रूपमा रहेका हुन्छन् भने त्यसलाई मानव शरीरको संरचना भनिन्छ । मानव शरीरमा जस्तै हरेक समाजमा संरचनाहरू हुन्छन् । कुनै समाजको सामाजिक संरचना बृहत हुन्छन् भने कुनै समाजको सामाजिक संरचना कम र थोरै हुन्छन् तर संरचनाविनाको मानव समाजको कल्पना पनि गर्न सकिँदैन । सामाजिक संरचनालाई सामान्यतया दुई भागमा निम्नानुसार विभाजन गर्न सकिन्छ : बृहत् संरचना (Macro Structure) : अर्थबाट नै स्पष्ट छ कि समाजलाई नै एउटा एकाइका रूपमा बृहत् संरचनाले स्वीकार गरी विभिन्न संरचनाहरूमा त्यसले पारेको प्रभाव तथा संरचनाहरूको सम्बन्ध र अन्तर्सम्बन्ध हेर्ने गर्दछ । जस्तै- प्रकार्यवाद, संघर्षवादी, विश्व व्यवस्था, परनिर्भरता आदि जस्ता सिद्धान्तहरू बृहत् संरचना भएको Theory हुन् भने प्रजातन्त्र, लोकतन्त्र आदि बृहत् संरचनाहरू हुन । • सूक्ष्म संरचना (Micro Structure) : सूक्ष्म संरचनाले व्यक्तिलाई केन्द्रमा राखेर उसको आवश्यकता माथि जोड दिन पुग्दछ । लोकविधि, प्रतीकात्मक, अन्तर्क्रियावादजस्ता अध्ययन सूक्ष्म संरचनामा समावेश गरिन्छ । व्यक्तिको आवश्यकता, चाहना, परिवार, विवाह, नातेदारीजस्ता सामाजिक संस्थाहरू पनि सूक्ष्म संरचना हुन् ।
