 1. Summary

Deviation theory is discussed in various academic fields, focusing on sociological explanations, and psychological and biological explanations also exist. Deviation behavior may be related to differences in brain structure, but discussions on this are ongoing. Some biologists argue that the desire to follow norms that promote group solidarity may have influenced evolution. Compliance with social norms is also considered convincing for biological and evolutionary explanations. Robert K. Merton proposes five types of deviant behavior, explaining them as typology of deviant behavior. It explains people who turn into deviations while pursuing cultural values and goals. From a structural functionalist point of view, it is argued that deviations play a role that is distinct from acceptable behavior, and play an important role in promoting social integration. Deviation is sometimes regarded as a means of breaking social balance and changing society. An example in which deviations reflect a power imbalance is a crime of white-collar workers, which reveals an imbalance between social classes.


(2) Interesting thing

In addition to clarifying the moral boundaries of society, deviant behavior can promote social integration, but deviant behavior sacrifices individuals who are clearly excluded from the sense of unity gained by distinguishing between non-lethal and deviant.

The fact that white-collar crimes are less likely to be pursued, less likely to be reported, less likely to be prosecuted, and more likely to be committed by the upper echelons of society suggests that the way crimes are punished in the United States tends to favor the United States


(3) Question

Stigma associated with spending time in prison is said to significantly worsen the physical and mental health of ex-convicts, including high rates of chronic disease, disability, mental illness, major depression and anxiety. If a criminal was sentenced to prison and acquitted after ending his prison life, what would be practically the most appropriate method if he had to compensate for the time, injustice, and mentally or physically damaged health he gave up in prison?

    In reality, the most appropriate method is financial compensation. It provides financial compensation for the time spent in incorrect detention. This may include a set amount or compensation package based on legal procedures. In addition, providing treatment and counseling services for mental and physical health problems to mitigate the damage the offender has suffered in prison may be another option.

 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. 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...

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...
