• SOC 203 Week 1 DQ 1 The Sociological Imagination

• The Sociological Imagination. In order to do
  understand and develop a sociological
  imagination, we must be able to see a social
  problem from many perspectives. This is the goal
  of our first discussion. For example, experts are
  warning us about the dangers of obesity, a
  problem for both individuals and society. While
  some may suggest obesity is simply the result of
  individual choices, how did so many people
  suddenly begin to make such bad choices? Rather
  than the result of individual choices, perhaps
  obesity is the result of dietary options
  available to our society. This might explain
  variations in obesity rates from one geographic
  region to another. Wealth distribution, health
  care
