C. Wright Mills defines “sociological imagination” as the intersection of history and biography. Sociological imagination refers to the awareness of how our personal experiences relate to the experiences of society at large. It is a process in which the person steps away from their own person and looks at his life not as a series of daily events that are happening to him, but as a product of a particular time period and cultural tradition. This "history" determines to a very large extent your life events.
In this case, Pietro is realizing that his "biography" tells him something about society at large. However, he is also noticing that people's lives are a consequence of their context. People do not always have full autonomy to do whatever they desire, but instead have to work within some constraints. That is why it is naive to believe that people's lives are only a consequence of their decisions.
Question: <em>Identify what the problem is in these situations and how you can resolve it.</em>
Answer: For the first one; "The problem is someone is living in undesirable conditions and in an unhealthy area, and they are getting frustrated with it." and the solution, "Assuming they are a soldier, they need to find ways around all the pain from working." The second one would be; "The problem is the soldier's feet are incredibly messed up." and the solution, "The soldier could try creating a makeshift sock to wear with unused cloth, or try soaking their feet to ease the peeling." The third one; "The problem is the soldier has not received their pay and have debts to pay to others." and the solution, "He should understand that pay comes slow and he needs to either ask, or deal with it. For his other problem, he shouldn't be doing such risky things to have to end up dealing with debts." For the fourth one; "The problem is the soldier has found out that his brother is also going into battle from a letter." and the solution, "Be proud of him. His brother wants to do this and serve for his country, so if he dies, he'll die with honor." For the fifth one; "The problem is the soldier is unable to figure out the whereabouts of his family." and the solution, "He needs to ask someone politely and calmly, you will be more stressed if you aren't calm and it'll be harder to be polite to someone under pressure." And for the final one; "The problem is the soldier has captured an enemy and is now contemplating his punishment." and to answer it, "It comes down to two things, moral and understanding. To kill someone would be wrong, especially if you don't know their background. They could be fighting for their family, or to gain money, or honor. But you have to understand that they could turn on you, or convert others if they stay alive, and could even risk putting you in danger."

Haiti became a focus of interest for the great powers in the early twentieth century mainly because of the country's strategic location. Competition among the United States, Germany, France, and Britain resulted in the breaching of Haiti's sovereignty and the nineteen-year occupation by United States forces.
Haiti has maintained a long-standing relationship with the United States. Haitians have perceived economic ties to the United States as vital. The United States was Haiti's primary trading partner for both exports and imports, its most important source of foreign assistance, and the primary target of Haitian emigration. A large number of private voluntary agencies from the United States functioned in Haiti. The assembly industry of Port-au-Prince was closely tied to the United States economy. In short, the economic and the political influence of the United States in Haiti was more powerful than the influence of any other country.
