Which pair is correctly matched (idea and sociologist)?
- 1. Sociological imagination: Charles Cooley
- 2. Sociology of knowledge: Karl Mannheim
- 3. Looking-glass self: C. Wright Mills
- 4. Anomie: Emile Durkheim
A1 and 4
B1, 2 and 3
C2 and 4 ✓ Correct
D2, 3 and 4
Correct answer: (C) 2 and 4 — Pairs 2 and 4 are correctly matched, so the answer is 2 and 4.
Explanation
★Pairs 2 and 4 are correctly matched, so the answer is 2 and 4.
★Karl Mannheim is the founder of the sociology of knowledge.
★Emile Durkheim gave the concept of anomie, a state of normlessness in society.
★Pair 1 is wrong, because the sociological imagination is C. Wright Mills' idea, not Cooley's.
★Pair 3 is wrong, because the looking-glass self is Charles Cooley's idea, not Mills'.
★So the two thinkers in pairs 1 and 3 have simply been swapped.
★Mills and Cooley are easy to confuse, so their concepts are worth keeping apart.
