 1.Summary

1) Socioeconomics

Socioeconomics, a discipline that studies how economic activities that occur in the market affect society and how formation processes occur, analyzes the development and decline of modern society due to the global economy and local economy. These socioeconomic markets are affected by environmental factors such as deforestation, natural disasters, and marine pollution, and are also affected by changes in households. Deforestation is a result of land expansion due to population growth, which causes serious damage to the natural environment. The impacts of marine pollution include damaging fisheries and negatively impacting surrounding communities. Household changes also affected the social environment. In the past, nuclear families consisted mainly of two parents and children living in the same house, but now the number of single-person households has increased. This means increased direct energy consumption and takes up more land space. Through this, we can see that various situational factors that have a negative impact on the environment create a domino effect that is ultimately revealed to society.

2) Economic Sociology

Economic sociology, a discipline that studies the social causes and consequences of various economic phenomena, is a field at the intersection of economics and sociology. It can be analyzed by dividing it into the classical era and the modern era. In the classical era, economic phenomena are analyzed using a new approach. We study social structure at a fundamental level, emphasizing the role of economic structures and institutions in society. Modern economic sociology covers a variety of topics, including individual behavior and the role of government.


2. Interesting points

While reading these two Wikipedias, I had a hard time distinguishing the difference between economic sociology and social economics. However, it was easy to understand that in reality, the two are sometimes treated and used as synonyms. Also, in the socio-economics section, it was interesting to note that changes in the number of households can affect the environment. I had simply focused on the low birth rate issue as the number of single-person households was increasing in modern society, but my thinking changed when I realized that it could also have an impact on environmental pollution.


3. discussion

In conclusion, what is the difference between social economics and economic sociology? So what do they also have in common?

 1. Summary Arnett described the goal of socialization as follows. 1. Impulse control and development of conscience. 2. Preparing and performing roles, including professional roles, gender roles, and roles in institutions such as marriage and parental roles. 3. The source of meaning, the cultivation of what is important, valuable, and to live. Socialization is the process of preparing humans to function in social life. Socialization is relative to culture and does not force evaluation judgments. Since socialization is the adoption of culture, it differs from culture to culture and from subculture to culture. It should be noted that socialization is a key sociological process in the development of individuals who can function in human society, but not all aspects of human behavior are learned. Socialization is generally divided into two parts. Primary socialization occurs early in life in childhood and adolescence. Secondary socialization refers to socialization that occurs througho...

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.

W12.1 Blog for reading materials

1.Summary Goffman's dramaturgical theory has been applied to various social phenomena, including social movements, online identity construction, and theatrical performances. 2.Discussion The pursuit of essence is human beings' superficial understanding of things, and the pursuit of differences is human beings' deep understanding of things. Essence can be applied and labeled. It is a superficial understanding of things and is the process of people's understanding of the world. Lazy means. It is believed that as long as you master the essence of things, you have mastered everything about them, that is, you can transform cognition into action. Therefore, I believe that constructing essence is the first step to understand things, and constructing differences is the most important thing to understand things. People should construct their understanding of differences by constructing essence. Whether it is playing games, reading novels, getting drunk, or skydiving, all kinds o...
