The following questions are based on “The Promise,” which you had to read for this week 2 (click the link at the top to return to that reading). “The Promise” is a portion of the book The Sociological Imagination, which C. Wright Mills wrote in 1959. Because of this, many first-time readers struggle understanding it — I definitely did when I read it for the first (and even second) time! Reading sociological material is new for us at this level, and we should embrace struggling with the content — after all, that is an important part of the learning process. Knowing this, please answer the following questions as honestly and as best as you can, without being concerned with having the “perfect” or “correct” answer. Just do the best you can, being sure to provide the details requested in each question. These questions are intended to get you to work through the reading in order to eventually understand it, rather than to know the “everything” now. Identify at least 2 sentences in the reading that you think best captures the purpose of this reading and in at least 1 sentence tell us why you selected those sentences. Please be sure to write the sentences you select in quotation marks (” “) and tell us what page(s) they are on so we can reference them. This week you also read the “What is Sociology” section in the Introduction chapter of A Sociology Experiment. How do you think this reading “The Promise” connects to that “What is Sociology” section you read last week? In your answer, you should provide specific details from both the “What is Sociology” section and from “The Promise” reading along with the page numbers those details come from in each reading. Put the page numbers and title of the reading in parentheses at the end of the detail you discuss. “Details” are things like examples, terms, and explanations that appear in the readings. I encourage you to write in your own words. You may find it helpful to use the exact phrasing from either writing but, in such cases, you must put the writing in quotation marks (” “) and then follow up the quote with an explanation of what it is saying in your own words. What is one question you have for your classmates about this assigned reading “The Promise”?
