Sociological Imagination - Book Report/Review Example

Download file to see previous pages Mrs. Niederer's clamor for justice for his son's death and her quest to "bring home the troops" emphasizes how individuals often perceive things psychologically instead of sociologically. The article points out that she wants to confront Mrs. Bush because she believes that being also a mother, she can understand her concern and her laborious efforts are focused on fulfilling the last wish of her son who died in the war which just shows that she sees her situation as a personal issue rather than a public trouble. It should be noted that her reasons are all personal in nature disregarding the fact that since the whole United States is in war with Iraq, most of the mothers and sons are confronted with the same situation.
The article also signals the attempts of Mrs. Niederer of freeing herself from the clutches of "self-limitation." However, this seems in vain as she still perceives that the problem is still in her immediate surrounding disabling her to change her larger environment. It should be noted that her focus is mainly on how she can send the troops back but she fail to recognize the larger issues of war and global terrorism which causes her personal troubles.
