Mills was concerned with the responsibilities of intellectuals in post-World War II society, and advocated public and political engagement over disinterested observation.

Answer:

C. Wright Mills was an American social scientist who is known for his social conflict theories. He views that American society was made up of a hierarchical structure which was controlled by a few individuals and common masses came last in the ladder. And to change this structure the role of intellectuals was important. He made New Left famous in the United States and his theories made a significant impact on the United States' Social movements.
