 1. Summary


I've read material that describes social networks. Social networks are social structures consisting of a set of social actors (e.g., individuals or organizations), sets of one-to-one relationships, and other social interactions between actors. The social network perspective provides a set of methods for analyzing the structure of society as a whole, and different theories explaining the patterns observed in these structures. In the study of these structures, we use social network analysis to identify regional and global patterns, find influential entities, and investigate network dynamics.


2. What I learned


Social networks are a useful theoretical construct for studying relationships between individuals, groups, organizations, or entire societies in social science. The term is used to describe the social structures determined by such interactions. The axiom of social network approaches for understanding social interactions is that social phenomena should be identified and investigated primarily through the properties of inter- and intra-unit relationships, not through the properties of the units themselves. Therefore, one of the common criticisms of social network theories is that individual agencies are often ignored. In practice, this may not be the case. Network analysis is useful for a wide range of research enterprises, as different types of relationships shape these network configurations. These areas of research in social science include, but are not limited to, anthropology, biology, communications research, economics, geography, information science, organizational research, social psychology, sociology, and sociolinguistics.


3. Question


In general, social networks are self-organizing and complex, resulting in consistent global patterns in the local interactions of the elements that make up the system. These patterns become more pronounced as the network grows in size. However, global network analysis of all interpersonal relationships in the world, for example, is not feasible and is likely to contain so much information that it is uninformed. 


So, do you think social networks are useful in a modern society where a lot of information goes around?

    In modern society, many disadvantages of social networks are emerging, but I believe they are also useful. First of all, social networks provide a quick way to receive the latest news and information. As a result, users can learn about events and events in real time and access various perspectives. In addition, companies can engage in a wide range of marketing activities at a low cost through social networks. This enables brand awareness, direct communication with customers, and collect feedback.

    I think it is useful to use social networks based on the attitude of critically accepting information in a modern society where a lot of information is roaming.

 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...
