Can you really relay information in American Sign Language (ASL) as you could in a spoken language?

Yes, absolutely! ASL incorporates five parameters which include facial/bodily expressions, handshape, palm orientation, movement, and location to produce a complex language full of passion and expression.

What is our sociological imagination?

Our sociological imagination is our perception of ourselves and others that has been formed through our unique and individual life experiences such as culture, socioeconomic status, gender, family structure, and minority status.

Is being informed in psychology only important if you want to become a therapist?

No, absolutely not! Being knowledgeable in the subject of psychology can help us learn more about our own development, emotions, health, social behavior, and cognitive processes as well as help us understand the motives and values of ourselves and those around us!
