This activity uses a simple timeline exercise and small-group discussion to help students practice using the sociological imagination—seeing how their individual lives are shaped by larger social, historical, and technological forces. Perfect for an introduction to C. Wright Mills' the Sociological Imagination concept, a discussion on personal biography and historical forces, and on personal troubles and public issues.
