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.
