    Is he talking about the same sociological imagination that C. Wright Mills wrote a book about?

    So I'm not the only one that has thought this guy was rambling some words and thoughts. I don't like it. I don't like it as an introduction to sociology for high school students. I don't think it's appropriate. Maybe a more advanced level of instructions piece but having to watch this video repeatedly to decipher it is not appropriate for an introduction to sociology. I don't think I am ignorant and have low low level cognitive so that I don't think my thoughts are way out of line.

    I'm glad to see that people are calling his bs. This presentation could have been 3 minutes long.
