社会学想象力(sociological imagination)
Berger is warning that if you are not ready to penetrate the surface of the more superficial aspect of social life, you should stay away from sociology.With sociological imagination, we can see the world in the quite differently.for example, the worker layoffs, it may be a public issue in three level: it is worldwide economy recession, the declining economy, and global economic competition, so if somebody's layoff maybe not the private problem.
And so,with this imagination, we can see the world in a different angle and deeper to the enssence.Maye it is a more meaningful life we can lead.
