Social Imagination and Mindfulness

Social imagination that allows us to understand and predict other people behavior, like how they talk, make sense of abstract ideas, and to imagine situation outside our immediately daily routine. I would say this is matter on where people are from and how they live, their lifestyle, thinking, ideas, etc. It all depends on social imagination. In class, story of Gladwell writes that Stewart Wolf discovered that for men over 65, the death rate from heart disease in Roseto was roughly half that of the United States as a whole. The people in this society were healthier not because of their diet or location, but because of where they lived and who they were living with. The close-knit community in this town established strong, human bonds. It shows how these people were the sum of their communities, rather than their own individual actions and decisions. So from this i would say social imagination depends on how people live, where they from, relationship with others. when wolf was researching the people who lived in Roseto, Wolf was able to find statistical data on the claim that this society was healthier because it functioned more as a group-oriented society and less of an individual-oriented society. lot of things going around in school, outside of school, at job,and it is hard to communicate to people around as it is really hard when they all from different countries and way they live life. it is hard when all people around as are different then we talked. When having a sociological imagination, you are able to analyze situations and people more carefully. You can become more wise and learn that not every one is like you.

Social Mindfulness- For social mindfulness, seems to convey that people act a different way with each other based on where they were born, and what time period they grew up in. The mindfulness of it all is to understand that everything is linked and to be aware that not only do one's surroundings affect the person but the person has an effect on everyone, everything around them. I would say how people think about world as a whole because when i am thinking about that how can people live without some sociology like they have to think certain things like interact with certain groups. Their different roles in life. Also, I think about future that what should be happen in future. Like, right now we are suffering lot of problems around us. We see how people react with others but when we think about mindfulness or sociology we might get good solution. With my life, since I was in 1st grade I used to interact with people that are different then me or different on their thinking and how they live. I born in India but I want to connect to or see different people from different area or time period , and I want to talk with them. My parents always told me to do somethings different for life. Sometimes they said,"If you involve more with others, that way you learn somethings from other that around world." I want my life to be great for my parents because they are the only one who supported me during my life in every problems. humans can change society by their thinking, how they involve with other people, their thoughts, etc. i am thinking about world is going to change in few years because we heard lot of different problems around world going on.

Thank You.
