Sociological Imagination

Over the past week I saw a good example of sociological imagination.  The example is the case of my friend.  He lives at home with his parents but is currently unemployed he really doesn't need to work because his parents pay for everything and he only needs to pay for his school.  People would see this as bad because we have the thought and picture in our heads that guys are supposed to be working and bring money in for food and other utilities around the house.  In reality he could just stop going to school and be okay but he is expected to go to school and get a job to pay for it.  Even if this case does not affect other people it still might affect him because right now he starts to feel depressed because he has not been able to find a job. He is expected to work by society to the point that it has affected his personal experiences because if looked at the big picture he really does not need to get a job.

Me

My name is Janeth and I am a very quiet person.  I like to keep quiet I dont really know why but I have always been like that since I started school.  I am more of a family person than friends person, I love spending time with my family because they are always going to be there for you and you never know what could happen to them so I feel like you have to value them and spend the most time you can with them.  The biggest influences on my life is of course my family,they have taught me so much and whenever I need something or need help on whatever they are always there to help me in any way they can.  My goals in life is to get a good education and pursue a good career not only for me, but for my parents also because they have worked so hard their whole life for me to become someone and not kill myself at work like they do and for them to see that all their hard work did pay off and they didnt kill themselves at work for nothing.
