Social solidarity - refers to (1) the degree to which group members share beliefs and values, and (2) the intensity and frequency of their interaction. Social structures - are relatively stable patterns of social relations. Patriarchy - the traditional system of economic and political inequality between them women and men. Global structures - are patterns of social relations that lie outside and above the national level. They include international organizations, patterns of worldwide travel and communication, and the economic relations between countries. The sociological imagination - the quality of mind that enables a person to see the connection between personal troubles and social structures. It encouraged the view that sound conclusions about the workings of society must be based on solid evidence, not just on speculation. It suggested that people are responsible for organizing society and that human intervention can therefore solve social problems.
