Government

1. Summary

The main types of modern political systems recognized are democracies, totalitarian regimes, and, sitting between these two, authoritarian regimes with a variety of hybrid regimes. The constitutive principles of modern government are primarily the principles of national sovereignty and representative government. The system of government consists of the head of State, the executive, the legislature and the judiciary.

2. Interesting points

The decision-making process in socio-politics often involves the intertwining of multiple interests, perspectives and values, leading to the complexity and plurality of policymaking. This complexity and plurality makes it difficult to generalize socio-politics into a definite pattern or pattern. In addition, the political systems and cultures of different societies and cultures vary greatly, leading to the existence of socio-political ambiguity. How one views socio-political ambiguity depends on one's position and point of view. Some may view socio-political ambiguity as a challenge that needs to be understood and addressed in greater depth in order to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of policy formulation and implementation, while others may view socio-political ambiguity as a normal phenomenon reflecting the diversity and complexity of societies, and that the variety of interests and perspectives in socio-politics should be dealt with through, inter alia, democracy and consultation.

3. Questions

How do you view the ambiguity of social systems?

    The diversity and complexity of modern political systems include democracies, totalitarian regimes and all forms of government in between, as well as differences in political systems in different societies and cultures. This point indeed reminds us that political systems are not static, but are influenced by various historical, cultural and social factors, so we need to be flexible.

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.

For example, in school, unlike at home, there are

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