Abstract

The present paper interprets C. W. Mills’s perspective of sociological imagination on the COVID-19 pandemic. No one directly experiences Mills’s perspective in day-to-day life, and COVID-19 did it. Now, COVID-19 is not an individual or any single country problem; instead, it is a problem for every individual in the world. It has already halted all sections of people’s everyday lives, community activities, business, and institutional functions worldwide. So, it is not only individual trouble of COVID-19 patients, rather a social issue around the world, which transformed COVID-19 to become pandemic. In this context, the present paper looks into the origin of coronavirus and its roots in the history of dysfunctional and imperfect relationships with social structure. To re-establish the functional relationship with our social structure and to reshape the sustainable future world order, the paper suggests different agencies focus on the real problems of society. The agencies-individual, corporate, state, and other organizations, need to take their responsibilities while making their day-to-day choices within the social structure for sustainable world order.
