          Symbolic interactionism is a sociological theory that emphasizes that humans create common symbols and meanings through shared language for use in personal and interpersonal communication. It believes that society emerges through the daily interactions of individuals. This theory derives primarily from American pragmatist philosophy, particularly the work of George Herbert Mead. Mead believed that the human self and society are formed through interactions, and that these interactions continually create and reshape meaning. Herbert Blumer, a major popularizer of the theory, proposed that people act on the meanings of things, and that these meanings are generated through social interaction and modified during the process of interpretation.

         Interesting point

Self-reflection and social interaction: Symbolic interactionism emphasizes the relationship between an individual's self-concept and social interaction. Individuals understand themselves through interactions with others, and this understanding is constantly influenced and modified by the reactions of others. This process of self-reflection is one of the unique psychological activities of human beings.

     discussing Points 

Subjectivity and Research Methods: Symbolic interactionism primarily uses qualitative research methods such as participant observation. Although these methods can provide in-depth understanding of individual behaviors and interactions, how to ensure the objectivity and reproducibility of research is still an issue worthy of discussion.

    It is crucial to ensure the objectivity and reproducibility of research. It is recommended to establish strict experimental design standards, clarify research methods, record detailed data, and ensure data sharing. At the same time, peer review and replication research are encouraged to promote the healthy development of scientific research.

 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...

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.

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...
