 Summarize

Symbolic interactionism emphasizes that individuals interact through symbolic symbols, which play a central role in forming self-perception and understanding of others. In social interactions, people not only transfer information but also construct identities, relationships, and social realities through symbols.


Interesting suggestions

In today's increasingly digital world, I propose further exploration of the role of digital symbols in symbolic interactionism. For example, emoticons, tags, and avatars on social media have become important tools for people to express their emotions, identities, and positions. Studying how these digital symbols affect the way people interact will provide us with a new perspective on understanding communication patterns in modern society.


question

Although symbolic interactionism provides us with a powerful framework for understanding social interactions, how to accurately interpret and analyze the meaning of symbols remains a challenge. The meaning of symbols may vary due to cultural, contextual and personal differences, which requires us to be more detailed and in-depth in our research. At the same time, we also need to pay attention to the possible negative impacts of the misuse and misunderstanding of symbols.

 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.

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.

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...
