Introduction Today’s society cannot escape the deep rooted emotions and experiences related to racial tensions, specifically those concerning interactions between African-Americans and Caucasians.

The Prison Industrial Complex has created a system of force free labor that strips prisoners of their political, economic, and social rights, ultimately relegating them to second-class citizenship, inside and outside of the prison walls.

During the 18th century, Enlightenment ideas developed a political philosophy grounded in the idea of the individual subject.

Myths serve an intelligent purpose, and help guide the legal institutions and the individual actions of people. These symbols also serve as a reminder to live a life dedicated to being a just person and live with integrity. Additionally, they remind people that […]

My personal condensed definition of “the sociological imagination” is that it is the idea one should be aware of the societal structures around themselves, and how those structures can influence a person and vice-versa. In addition, I think that having a “sociological imagination” also involves a deep appreciation for the importance of society and culture.
