I agree with the quote "we all have our social imagination: the capacity to invent visions of what should be and what might be in our deficient society, on the street where we live, on our schools?" The reason I agree with this quote is because I believe that people are able to imagine what life should be like. Many people imagine life of being kind with no disaters but in reality many horrible things happen. People may change specific situations such as car accidents, embarrassing moments in front of a big audience, or the death of someone. These people would change the situations they were in into something more favorable and pleasing to them. The new invented situation would not be as horrible as the previous and actual situation.
The society we live in today is a lot different from the society our ancestors lived in. Now we have several issues that did not exist back then such as ebola, ISIS, and more. People like to imagine that the desease of ebola does not become the next black plague. People also like to imagine that the problem with ISIS disappears and no more issues with them are involved. In a world without these issues people would be happier and less afraid of the death threats. Another real world example of a horrible situation people would reimagine is the kid without homes and food. People now imagine that these kids are suffering and are sad to live the way there. People are imagining the correct thing. These people want to imagine that the kids will have a place to live in the near future with plenty of food to feed them and the rest of their families. Hopefully in the future with all the organizations that exist to help the kids in need will raise enough money to help these kids.
The quote "we all have our social imagination: the capacity to invent visions of what should be and what might be in our deficient society, on the street where we live, on our schools?" is correctly represents what people do when a society is corrupt. People like to pretend and imagine that everything is alright without any trouble but in reality society is very screwed up. There are many issues that need to be fixed and some people may fix these issues with their imaginations. The human mind is open to many worlds worlds that please people and worlds full of disasters. People like to think about the invented visions of the good type of world.
