Discussion essay.
Using Mills’ definition, I could apply sociological imagination to my life with my fear of not getting into a top university. I find that society will reject me if I am unable to attend a top university and that society has depicted a picture where if you don’t get into a good school, you will struggle financially. The point of intersection with this dilemma can be rooted as far back as I can remember where growing up, the questions always asked were what school do you go to, what are your grades, and where do you want to go to college? That along with the media’s constant mention of only top universities made it seem that if you are to be in anything but the top, you will not be accepted.
