 1.Summary 

: Government generally refers to the system and group of people who govern a state. It consists of legislative, judicial, and executive departments, and generally governs according to the Constitution. The early government formed the foundation of government as the population increased after the agriculture that created surplus production was born. The boundaries of politics are ambiguous with each other, so it is difficult to classify them. Plato divided government into five types: aristocracy, democracy, oligarchy, timocrites, tyranny, and so on

Democracy conducts politics by choosing the policy of the state through voting or by someone who will represent the citizens

Most governments are managed by members of political parties, and one or more parties with an absolute majority of seats in parliament appear as the ruling party.


2. What was interesting/what did you learn:

It is interesting that agriculture was the trigger for the early government to appear. In the process of exchanging their surplus products, it was thought that it was human nature to want a wider range of exchanges with people and to want a system that could facilitate this process. Even if the government did not appear, people of that time probably did not have the appearance of a government? This is because it is common not to recognize it, no matter what characteristics it has until it is named.


3. Discussion Point:

Although the government is elected through voting, Korea still has a lot of dissatisfaction with the government. What do you think is the reason?

    Widespread dissatisfaction with the government in Korea may stem from a combination of factors, including perceptions of corruption, economic inequality, social injustice, political polarization, governance challenges, transparency issues, and communication deficits. Addressing these concerns requires proactive measures to enhance transparency, accountability, responsiveness, and inclusiveness in governance, as well as efforts to address systemic issues such as corruption and inequality. Additionally, fostering constructive dialogue, promoting civic engagement, and strengthening democratic institutions are essential for building public trust and confidence in government.

 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...
