Viewing the social world with a sociological imagination helps you to shed your biases and see things from a different perspective. We all| have implicit biases based on our own lives and experiences, so our attempts at understanding social life from an individual perspective may be flawed if we don't account for these biases. Using a sociological imagination allows us to see the bigger picture and account for greater forces at work. Many issues that we see as being personal issues, such as homelessness, drug abuse, unemployment, etc., actually have larger societal factors influencing them. Only by looking at these issues with a sociological imagination allows us to identify and address them and other problems in our social world.
