W10.2 May 10 (Fri) - Kim Seoyoung(김서영)

 1. Summary

Social structure refers to relationships and ties between individuals or groups of individuals, and exhibits relatively continuous behavior within society. Structures can be thought of as natural development or social manipulation. Some believe that they are developed by economic or political factors, while others argue that they are socially formed and that they may be influenced by the power of the elite or economic systems that emphasize competition and cooperation. Modern social structure analysis utilizes various techniques, through which efforts are being made to understand various aspects of social life.


2. Mention of any new. interesting

In Giddens' theory of structuring, it was interesting that the structure is not independent of the actor, but rather the actor forms and maintains the structure. This emphasizes the duality between the individual and the structure in the view that the structure is continuously reproduced by the actor. Through this content, it was possible to overcome the dichotomous thinking that has traditionally appeared in sociological and anthropological theories and to understand the complexity.


3. Discussion

How does the social structure affect individual behavior? I want to explore how treatment in the workplace according to gender affects individual behavior, or how individuals change or reproduce the social structure.

    How does social structure affect individual behavior? Let me answer the question. Social structure has various effects on individual behavior. Let me say two main things. The first is social norms and expectations. Social structure forms norms and expectations of socially accepted behavior. Individuals compare their behavior to their surrounding social environment, and can control or adopt behavior accordingly. The second is social myths and values. Social structure forms and propagates specific values and beliefs. Individuals can adopt socially accepted values and beliefs to be recognized and respected

    Social structures influence how we behave. For example, men and women may be treated differently at work. This type of discrimination can prevent individuals from performing their best at work. So individuals can often change social structures or influence their perpetuation. For example, we can overcome gender-based prejudice and pursue gender equality, or change social structures by having men and women no longer adhere to different roles and cooperate instead.

 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...

Week14.2 （6.7Fri）Introduction to Sociology/Technology, the Internet, and Virtual Worlds （YANGPEIFU）

  1. Summary Technology encompasses the techniques, methods, and processes used to produce goods or services and achieve various objectives. It includes knowledge of these processes and their application in machines and devices. A prominent example is mobile phones, which have transformed communication by eliminating the need for direct telephone lines and altering social norms and behaviors. Social networks, while beneficial for maintaining connections, can also perpetuate objectionable behaviors and gender inequalities. Video gaming, engaged by a significant portion of the population, offers benefits such as enhanced visual attention but poses potential health and behavioral risks for a small subset of users. Technology significantly impacts society, influencing communication, social interactions, and individual behavior. The pros and cons of social networks are self-evident. Although they can facilitate the development of business networks and connections with distant friends an...

Extra point D) Science & Futurism with Isaac Arthur 노주

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDb01ggyDfo   When we go to another planet to carry on the exchange of civilizations, not only the exchange of cultures but also the clash of cultures. Alien civilizations across the galaxy capture individuals of some young species that have not yet reached the interstellar stage, cultivate them, modify them to make them live longer, immune to disease, etc., and spread them to any colonizable world. When their home planet began their first interplanetary symbiosis, they formed a bond with each other. Civilization is through the exchange of technology and the clash and collision of cultures. What is heartening is the impact of ascension on the role of the original species in the ecosystem, and given the ascending creatures and humans, utilitarians may favor ascension if the result is the greatest good for the greatest number of people. Inspiring ethics is a complex and multifaceted issue. It requires careful consideration of potential benefits and har...
