Social structure refers to the ongoing relationships or bonds between individuals or individual-groups within a society. It encompasses entities or groups with clear relationships, relatively enduring patterns of behavior and relationships within society, as well as institutionalized norms or cognitive frameworks that structure the actions of actors within the social system.

Social structure can be divided into micro and macro structures. Microstructures refer to patterns of relationships between the most basic elements of social life, which cannot be further subdivided and do not possess their own distinct social structures. Furthermore, structures can also be classified into normative, ideational, interest, and interactional structures.


2)

When I thought about social structure, I used to only consider it from a macro perspective, such as economics or politics. Therefore, I've newly realized that there are many identifiable sub-variables, such as gender. Having many sub-variables has the advantage of being able to systematically categorize them. Instead of evaluating a person based on one or two factors, I've learned to see them more holistically by considering multiple factors.


3) 

Based on the meaning of social structure as described in the document, we can structure our department by identifying ongoing patterns of relationships within the society of students who share similar career paths or goals and engage in learning activities.

 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...
