 Summarize

As an important branch of sociology, economic sociology deeply explores the interaction between economic behavior and social structure. It emphasizes that economy is not only the exchange of material resources, but also the embodiment of social relations. Research in economic sociology covers multiple levels from individual economic decisions to macroeconomic policies, aiming to reveal the social logic behind economic phenomena.


suggestion

In recent years, an interesting and unusual proposal has been to include the “sharing economy” within the scope of economic sociology. The sharing economy not only changes the traditional economic model, but also reshapes social relations. Through platform connection, economic transactions between individuals have become more convenient, but it also brings new challenges such as data security and privacy protection.


question

However, economic sociology still has some shortcomings when exploring economic inequality in the context of globalization. Although a large number of studies have focused on the widening gap between rich and poor, how to conduct an in-depth analysis of its causes and solutions from the perspective of social structure is still an issue worthy of in-depth discussion. In addition, economic sociology can also further focus on the impact of digital technology on economic structure and social relations to adapt to an increasingly digital economic environment.

    You write very well, and I think that adding the "sharing economy" to the economic sociology discussion is very appropriate. It allows us to better understand how the economy is changing the way we interact with each other. Not only does the sharing economy make transactions easier, but it also raises the discussion of data protection and privacy, which are important issues that must be faced in today's society.

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.

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

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