W2.1 weekly blog for reading material:

1.Summary

In this chapter, the author outlines the thinking abilities that sociology students develop through studying sociology, their potential contributions in enterprises, and particularly emphasizes the role that sociology students play in reconciling the relationship between enterprises and consumers.

From this, we perceive that sociology, as a comprehensive discipline covering multiple aspects, has close connections with disciplines such as social marketing and public relations. After acquiring sociology knowledge, most graduates have mastered skills related to sociology, providing them with great convenience in handling their work. Sociology itself is integrated into their daily work, which is a characteristic distinct from that of science students. As is well known, the knowledge acquired by undergraduate graduates in university is often limited. Sociology nurtures students' thinking abilities, enabling them to continuously acquire new knowledge in their future lives using a sociological thinking model.

2.Interesting Points

I believe that for sociology students, studying sociology itself is not an end in itself, and the process of learning sociology benefits them greatly. I believe that in future studies, we will also be able to master the critical thinking required of sociologists and become accustomed to thinking from different perspectives.

3.Discussion

Many students studying sociology pursue careers in businesses after graduation, utilizing the skills they acquired in studying sociology to analyze consumer psychology. Is this an attitude that places them above ordinary social groups? Does their analysis of consumer psychology align with their original intention of studying sociology?

    "sociology students, studying sociology itself is not an end in itself, and the process of learning sociology benefits them greatly" I couldn't agree more with this statement; the process of learning sociology can provide our students with rich experiences and profound inspiration that go far beyond the mere acquisition of knowledge. Through the study of this social discipline, we can develop critical thinking, analytical skills, cross-cultural understanding, and the ability to solve real-world problems. These skills are useful both in the workplace and in everyday life.

Introduction to the blog

This blog is a digital forum where students from Spring 2024 class in Invitation to Sociology at the Hanyang University in Korea will discuss their weekly readings and activities. Each week you are expected to post a blog post on at least 3 pages worth of the readings assigned for next week on our blog (here)  and make a comment on another student's post. As you are expected to do the assigned readings FOR the lectures they are assigned to, you are expected to post your blog and comments BEFORE that lecture. Deadline: Saturday midnight, for main blog posts and Sunday, midnight for comments. Exception: blog posts for the first week can be posted during the first week of class as if they were for the second week. An ideal commentary should be about a third of a page in length (~200 words), divided into three clearly labeled sections in which you: 1) summarize in your own words of materials you read; 2) mention any new, interesting, or unusual items learned; 3) identify at least one q

Why are boys louder than girls? - Kim yeonhee (김연희)

  1) Summary Humans survive by learning the culture of the groups they belong to through social experiences. Throughout their entire lives, individuals undergo a process called socialization, which significantly influences their beliefs and behaviors. This applies not only to children but also to adults. Through socialization, individuals learn and develop beliefs and behaviors considered moral within their affiliated society, shaping their own values accordingly. Primary socialization occurs as children are influenced by their immediate family and friends. If they are exposed to discriminatory views about certain groups, the child may develop discriminatory attitudes towards those groups and believe that such behavior is acceptable. Secondary socialization occurs within larger society. Typically experienced during adolescence or adulthood when individuals encounter new environments and societies, secondary socialization is encountered. For example, in school, unlike at home, there are

First of all, sociology is chosen by people with a variety of personality types, and those who choose this field enjoy it at high rates.

It was also interesting to find that many sociology majors were satisfied wi
