Answer 3

The sociological imagination is the ability that people have to place themselves into contexts they are not and to imagine themselves playing a different role. It is also the capacity of people to viculate their personal experiences with one another and to relate them to a higher social level that is - to go from the personal biography to the social history or environment.

In short it is the skill of reconstructing larger social structures beyond the individual through the use of the personal experiences.
