Sociology

Sociologist C. Wright Mills preferred to call the sociological perspective  the sociological imagination, and he saw it transforming personal troubles into public issues. Let us begin our discussion this week by considering suicide, which is thoroughly explored in your textbook reading for this week.

For the initial post, respond to one of the following options, and label the beginning of your post indicating either Option 1 or Option 2:

1. Option 1: Do a little digging: What resources are there in your state ( MD) or local community for suicide prevention? Are the resources adequate, in your view? Why or why not? How does the sociological imagination help you decide whether the resources are adequate?

Your initial post must contain scholarly support by citing an assigned reading (the textbook/lesson) and an outside scholarly source that you identify on your own.

· APA format for in-text citations and list of references

· 1 chosen scholarly source cited
