 1. Summary

Social networks are important theoretical structures in social science, studying the relationships of individuals, groups, organizations, or society as a whole. The term describes social structures, indicates social contacts, and emphasizes relational theoretical approaches. Network analysis is useful for understanding various types of relationships, and includes anthropology, economics, and psychology in the fields of social science. This is the history of social networks. Emile Durkheim and Ferdinand Tunney introduced the concept of social networks, presenting theories about social groups. In the second half of the 20th century, Jacob L. Moreno systematically analyzed social interactions in small groups, and other scholars combined different traditions to conduct research. These efforts led to the development of network analysis in the fields of sociology and anthropology. In social network analysis, various theoretical frameworks such as graph theory, equilibrium theory, social comparison theory, and more recently, social identity approaches are used. On the other hand, few theories have been completed through social network analysis, but there are structural role theories and heterogeneous theories, which argue that heterogeneous theories play an important role in the pursuit of information and innovation by emphasizing the strength of weak bonds.

In Fritz Heider's theory of balance, the trinity is at the heart of social dynamics. The discord of a competitive love triangle is an example of a disproportionate love triangle, and when one of the relationships changes, it is likely to turn into a balanced one. The dynamics of social friendships in society have been modeled through balanced triads. This research is based on signed graph theory. The reason I found this part interesting is that I first knew that there are two kinds of relationships: unbalanced triangles and balanced triangles. I found that triangles can also work positively if they are balanced, not just negatively.


3. Question

How can a balanced love triangle last for a long time? Could a balanced love triangle collapse? So what caused the triangle to collapse?

 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...
