“It is the political task of the social scientist â€” as of any liberal educator â€” continually to translate personal troubles into public issues, and public issues into the terms of their human meaning for a variety of individuals. It is his task to display in his work â€” and, as an educator, in his life as well â€” this kind of sociological imagination.

But in the Christmas spirit, the procession is turned around. Those at the tail end are put first in the arrangement of the Child of Christmas.”
