Using Mills's concept of the sociological imagination and Berger's concept of seeing the general in the particular,explain why Canada's Aboriginal peoples have high levels of poverty despite ongoing government assistance.

On May 09, 2024


The sociological imagination allows us to see the relationship between individuals and society,while seeing the general in the particular is the ability to look at seemingly unique events or circumstances and then recognize the larger features involved.By applying these processes,we can see how the poverty that affects Aboriginal peoples is not a result of individual circumstances but,rather,an outcome of their position within the larger society,and the historic and current processes of discrimination enacted against them,which government assistance does nothing to ameliorate.Colonization,isolation,segregation,loss of culture,loss of independence,loss of resources,loss of governance: all of these general processes enacted against Aboriginal peoples have led to their individual circumstances,and to their position in the larger society,which puts them in a disadvantaged position.
