Awareness of Unintended Consequences
Example: Housekeeper/maid/ayi
“A person with money is entitled to have others to his/her dirty work”
“To use such an idea, if only implicitly, to justify hiring a housecleaner affirms the rightness of inequality”

Analyzing moral problems
Example: Abortion in US “Sociological mindfulness can help is see
more of what must be taken into account in seeking solutions to moral problems.” Connection between our beliefs and
actions, and their consequences

Reading Indexes
Indexes are sign in the social world that refer to or represent something else
We ask ourselves What does this condition, custom, or
event mean? What other realities does it point to? What does it say about the nature of
our society? Going back to ayis…apply these
questions

Nonobvious indexes
Example: military investment We see this as a “door” to other social
realities. “Once the door is opened, we can trace
out connections and talk about what else they might lead us to see.”
If we are sociologically mindful, we can see the absence of things too, and their meanings.

Connections to the Past
Consider: To what past is China connected and how?
Sociological imagination Biography History
We should ask: How did this practice originate? What problems did it solve, for whom?

Deepening the Present
We can ask of any tradition, custom, or arrangement: Does it serve the same purpose today
as it did originally? Has it become dysfunctional in some
way? Why has this tradition been preserved? Who benefits from carrying on this
tradition? How has the tradition changes over the
years? Why?
