The Promise by C.W. Mills

.....After reading the, “The Promise”, my sociological imagination has widen-up and new eyes opened. I am just a student but it is my responsibility to be aware and understand the things happening around me because I belong to the society. I have the capability and the ability to make a big change in peoples’ lives. I should not just keep on absorbing everything I see and get but rather stand and think for myself to really know the truth of knowledge. The promise of a good and peaceful society depends on me, depends on you and depends on us.

.....We need to develop a way of understanding the interaction between individual lives and society, biography and history and self and world. We don’t live in this world to be alone and not care for others or the place we live in. We are here to search deeper in ourselves and know our purpose in the society.

.....I still have many things to explore and discover and I can only do this if I have a sociological imagination that can fly all over the whole wide world.
