The year 2011 marked the beginning of large, popular protests in a number of African and Middle Eastern nations, collectively referred to as the Arab Spring.

In the Arab Spring, people used the kind of media referred to by postmodernists in order to respond to their historically embedded, local problems

According to C. Wright Mills, why might using the sociological imagination be important for more fully understanding life experiences?
Most people have a limited point of view, caused by the small circles in which they travel on a daily basis. C.
