 1. Summary


I read materials that explain sociology and social structure. Social structure refers to a continuous relationship or bond between individuals or groups of individuals. The concept of social structure as a pattern of relationships between various individuals or groups, or continuous and relatively stable relationships, highlights the idea that societies are grouped into structurally related groups or sets of roles with different functions, meanings, or objectives. Within various social structures, social treatment of individuals can be understood as being related to their background.


2. What I learned


Early work on social structures informed the study of institutions, cultures and subjects, social interactions, and history. One of the earliest and most comprehensive accounts of social structures was provided by Karl Marx, who related political, cultural, and religious life to the way it was produced. Marx argued that the economic foundations and superstructures actually determine the cultural and political foundations and superstructures of society. The concept of social structures follows Marx in his efforts to identify the basic dimensions of society, with the most emphasis placed on economic production or political power in the 20th century, such as the structuralist, feminist, or Marxist, and functionalist views of Talcott Parsons.


3. Question


The concept of social structure can mask systematic biases because it consists of many identifiable subvariables, such as gender. However, we cannot rule out the possibility that social structures can cause biases to solidify.


What are some prejudices that have been cemented by social structures around you?

    There are many forms and types of prejudices that are hardened by social structures. As a general example, prejudices against race or ethnicity may be formed depending on the social structure or cultural background. In addition, prejudice based on gender or sexual orientation can also be affected by the social structure. This includes discrimination in roles between men and women or discrimination against the LGBT community.

    There are various prejudices, such as race, gender, generational, and economic, among others, among them. Among them, there are cases where adults think that "mz generation" is when they focus on intergenerational prejudice and do not understand the behavior of the younger generation.

    Recently, our society refers to young people as the MZ generation and distinguishes and judges the difference from the older generation as a generation gap. Even in understandable situations, it is easy to see people generalizing things like, ‘Why are kids like this these days?’ or generalizing specific people or behavior by saying, ‘This is MZ.’ These actions are considered wrong because they emphasize the conflict between generations and society.

 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...
