Sociology can help people address and change these inequalities. Using sociological techniques, one can learn how to avoid creating and reinforcing these known inequalities. One technique is simply to not recognize the differences between people. Acting in a “normal” way towards minority groups will help erase these inequalities. Learning the origin of inequalities and showing others that there is no difference between one group and another will make it extremely easy to ignore the differences. Part of sociology, however, is getting society as a whole to think the same way. Convincing one person that inequalities between people are irrational is a step towards an entire community feeling this way. Unless all these people acquire a sociological imagination, this may be a difficult undertaking
