Socioassignment

Throughout this paper sociological imagination is discussed in a number of ways depicted in the film “Roger and Me” by Michael Moore. In the city of Flint, Michigan there is a variety of distinct social structures. The first is the unemployed GM autoworkers that felt betrayed and felt abandoned in poverty by their own trusted top GM management and chairman Roger Smith. Flint was the head capital of GM; the city was considered unique and had their own GM culture however due to greed and selfishness by the upper-class head officials they went ahead and built GM factories in Mexico in order to substitute the old workers for new lower employee costs and higher earnings for the business. The city had undergone a dramatic economic transition from prosperity to poverty. Outside from the unemployed and the GM management, the rest of the society in Flint believed that the unemployed should stop bickering about their losses and concentrate their energy and time on finding a new job. What this social structured group is not aware of or acknowledges, is the fact that unemployment is considered an issue since it affects society as a whole because not only a few people are unemployed but hundreds of people in Flint are unemployed.
