            Socioeconomics is the social science that studies how economic activity affects and is shaped by social processes. Socioeconomics in Wikipedia covers several aspects: At a regional level, socioeconomic systems involve the way in which social and economic factors interact with each other, which affects local communities and households. These systems have important impacts on the environment through deforestation, pollution, natural disasters, and energy production and use, and have global impacts through long-range coupled systems. Deforestation is one of the leading causes of environmental change, leading to the loss of ecosystems and species habitats, while affecting local community economies and global climate change. Pollution affects marine ecosystems and local fishing communities, especially small-scale fishing communities. Pollution from large corporations has negative impacts that spread to surrounding communities and ecosystems. The frequency and severity of natural disasters, such as the impact of landslides on humans, flora and fauna, are increasing. Urbanization and deforestation are among the main reasons for the increase in landslides in small communities. Changes in household structure affect household energy consumption and geographical space utilization, causing greater demand for energy resources and potentially leading to urbanization in rural areas.

            Socioeconomics from Wikipedia shows the interrelationships between humans and natural systems and how they are affected by government policies and environmental factors. These systems are interconnected, creating impacts at all levels, from local to global.

          Interesting point

           The article mentions the impact of changes in household structure on energy consumption and geographical space utilization. What is interesting about this point is that it involves how changes in human social structure affect resource utilization and environmental impact, reflecting the complex relationship between social economy and human behavior.

         Discussion

    Technological innovation and environmental sustainability: Technological innovation can help improve resource utilization efficiency and reduce resource waste and environmental load. For example, new production technologies can reduce energy and raw material consumption and increase production efficiency, thus reducing the demand for natural resources. There are also renewable energy development and environmental protection technology innovation.

    Indeed, there is a key role for environmental sustainability in technological innovation. The introduction of new production technologies and environmentally friendly technologies can contribute to the efficient use of resources, and therefore supporting and encouraging technological innovation is important for achieving environmental sustainability. While technological innovation plays a key role in improving the efficiency of resource utilization, the formulation of government policies is equally crucial.

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

This article explores the various possibilities of a sociology degree and provides useful information for students majoring in the discipline. 2.  mention of any new, interesting, or unusual items learned I thought that society itself was a very broad scope, but sociology had a narrow scope, but it was surprising that people who majored in sociology were active in a broader scope than I thought. It was also interesting to find that many sociology majors were satisfied wi
