 1. Summary : Social structure is described as a pattern of relationships or continuous relationships between different individuals or groups. This concept emphasizes the importance of social structural relationships, which are grouped into various functional groups or roles in society. Social structure is considered an important part of social systems and has implications for systems such as economy, law, politics, culture, etc. Structures can also be seen as intrinsic institutions or norms that shape social behavior, which is linked to the concept of structural decisions that arise according to the basic structure of social systems.

2. Interesting or unusual things : The part that divided the approach to the origin and evolution of social structure into two main perspectives was the most interesting. The difference between the two perspectives, which one point of view that the social structure has developed naturally, and the other point of view, which is the result of social structure, was surprising. I think the most comprehensive explanation for the evolution of social structure is closely connected to us. 

3. Question : What factors do you think are the main causes of changes in social structure? Also, how are they structured and how do they affect each other?

    Your blog post on social structure was very insightful! I appreciated your thorough explanation of social structure as patterns of relationships between individuals or groups, and its impact across various societal domains like economy, law, politics, and culture. The distinction between different perspectives on the origin and evolution of social structure was particularly intriguing.

    To further enrich your discussion, it might be beneficial to explore specific historical or contemporary examples that illustrate how factors such as technological advancements, economic shifts, demographic changes, and cultural shifts influence changes in social structure. These examples could provide a clearer understanding of the dynamic nature of social structures and how different factors interact to shape them.

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

It was also interesting to find that many sociology majors were satisfied wi
