The sociological perspective helps us to see general social Patterns in the behaviour of particular individuals and offers insights about the social world that extend far beyond explanations that rely on individual quirks and personalities. Essential to the sociological perspective is the Sociological Imagination . This term, attributed to C. Wright Mills , means “...the vivid awareness of the relationship between experience and the wider society.” It means going beyond the individual and understanding how Structural forces shape individuals and their action. The sociological perspective, as a broad way of approaching phenomena, is different to a Sociological Paradigm , which is a specific set of assumptions that frame a sociologist's theories and findings.
