Society can be looked at in many different ways. Mills, there are three perspectives. One is History which is what has happened before influences us today. The second is biology, the unique part of you that you bring to a society. The third is society, which is the arrangement of living if which you are a part of. These three things help give us different perspectives to from which to see and understand why certain things happen the way they do, all of which are a part of the sociological imagination which was coined by C. W. Mills. Three things that may have a deeper meaning to why they happen are cheating spouses, and obese person or someone of color. .
There may be many different reasons to why spouses cheat, men in particular. Sometimes there may be more to it that meets the eye. For example, in our society men are made out to be the one that puts the food on the table or a roof over his family's head. They are understood to be macho and so they feel that they are in charge, they can do whatever they want and whenever they want. A man's body operates differently from that of a woman, there is more testosterone, more and bigger muscles which then leads to be understood by men as more power. Yet some families have a history of cheating. For example maybe as the husband was growing up he saw his father cheat on his mother and she never did anything about. So he grew up thinking that cheating on his spouse was something that was done in marriages and never thought twice about not doing it. .
In today's society people are often judged on the way they look. For example, large or obese people sometimes require special attention or have special circumstances. Sometimes obesity requires special arrangements for traveling in either an airplane or a bus. In order to make more money airlines and charter buses pack as many people as they can into their airplanes and buses, but when an obese person takes up two seats, they make the airline or charter bus lose money for the other person that could have sat next to them.
