Why might students be concerned with what Judith Shapiro refers to as "sociological illiteracy"?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Judith Shapiro's concept of "sociological illiteracy" refers to the lack of ability to connect personal troubles (individual problems) with public issues (larger societal problems that affect many people). As undergraduates, students may not have the necessary tools or knowledge to make these connections, which can hinder their ability to fully understand and address social issues. This is why students may be concerned with "sociological illiteracy" - they want to be able to understand and tackle complex social problems in a thoughtful and effective way. Choices A, B, and C do not directly address the concept of "sociological illiteracy."
