 1. Summary

Symbolic interactions with George Herbert Meade play an important role in the field of sociology, and Meade is known for his theories on the development of the social self. His influence contributed to enhancing knowledge in sociology, and he spread his ideas by allowing his students to publish books based on his lectures and conversations. Meade valued the interaction of the mind, self, and society, thereby helping to understand the effects of individual social development and external structures. Symbolic interactionists believe that physical entities influence an individual's social definition, and that social understanding of them responds through indirect filters. According to Mead and Blomer, individuals create meaning through communication, and self-concept motivates behavior, and these interactions form unique relationships between society and individuals. The premise of the theory includes that what people do is based on the meaning they give, and that meaning in interactions comes from interactions with other people and society.


2. Interesting thing

 What we do depends on our interactions with other people early in our lives, and it depends on our interactions right now. Social interaction is central to what we do. If we want to understand the cause, focus on social interaction. The reason why I found this part most interesting is because I sympathized so much. There is a Korean idiom called "Yu Sang-jong." It means that the person you interact with often and I are likely to be similar and go around with people who are that similar. It was even more interesting and memorable to read this fact on the symbolic interactionist Wikipedia.

Their "reactions" are not directly made to each other's actions, but are instead based on the meaning they give to those actions. -> How is it different from what is done directly and what is given to those actions based on the meaning

 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...
