You should by now have learned what is meant by the terms sociological imagination and sociological consciousness. Now you have to try to use them. |
Malcolm X had the 'private trouble' of accepting the name of a slavemaster when it was clearly linked to the 'public issue' of the evils of slavery. Another issue is the wider implications of women changing their names when they marry. This is peeling back the layers and looking beyond the obvious: sociological imagination and sociological consciousness. Use these to examine your own name: all your names or just your first or last name. |

Consider these and other issues and write an analysis of your name. |
