W9.1 April 29 (Mon) - Kim Seoyoung(김서영)

 1. Summary 

Socialization is the process of learning how humans function in a particular society. It is culturally relative, and people from different cultures, races, classes, genders, religious and social positions socialize differently. Primary socialization occurs in childhood and adolescence, and secondary socialization occurs throughout life when new groups are met. In the primary and secondary socialization processes, it is influenced by various factors such as parents, guardians, friends, and schools. Theories such as symbolic interactionism, role theory, reinforcement theory, and internalization theory help us understand socialization.


2. Mention of any new, interesting

It was interesting to note that social support and empathy form perceptions of death and play an important role in individuals' acceptance and preparation for death. Through this, I was able to better understand the fact that humans are greatly influenced by those around them and the importance of the socialization process.


3. Discussion

The primary and secondary socialization processes are greatly influenced by the people around them. Then, how can children growing up in a socially isolated environment change the primary and secondary socialization processes?

    Children who grow up in a socially isolated environment do not experience the primary socialization process they experience in childhood. Therefore, only the secondary socialization process remains, and in this process, I think socialization including the contents of the primary socialization process is necessary.

    Education systems can provide various social experiences to children who are socially isolated. Schools or educational institutions are places where children learn how to interact and communicate with others. So, education systems can provide children with opportunities for social interaction and help strengthen social skills.

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 l...

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...

First of all, sociology is chosen by people with a variety of personality types, and those who choose this field enjoy it at high rates. After graduation, sociology majors can pursue a variety of roles in business, government, and non-profit organizations, including consumer research, site selection, and product testing. In some cases, you may continue your studies. You can also pursue a more professional career by earning a doctoral degree. 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 sat...
