Deviation refers to any behavior that violates cultural norms. Norms are social expectations that guide human behavior. Deviation is divided into two types. First, crime is an act that violates officially enacted laws and is a formal deviation. Second, it is an act that violates informal social norms. Deviation can vary considerably from culture to culture. Because culture is relative. 

There is also a theory related to deviation. First is the theory of conflict. This is how deviation improves the power imbalance. Second, it is the labeling theory. This is the theory that abnormal labels are applied and actions related to them are stigmatized.

It was interesting to know that the conflict theory also applies to office work crimes. When I heard the conflict theory, I thought it was simply because of the opposite opinion. At first, I wondered why the crime of office work was adopted as an example of conflict theory. However, I understood it after reading specific examples of tax evasion, forgery, and money laundering. This is because the above criminal acts are also one of the problems that arose between the conflict between the employer and the employee. Through this document, I felt again that there were a wide variety of types of conflicts.

Do you think that the constant reports of misdeeds in the country you live in also affect other people's deviations?

 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.

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.

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...
