W13.2 May 31(Fri) Assignment - Lee Sihoon

 1. summarize

The Wikibooks page on "Gender" in sociology distinguishes between gender and sex. Gender refers to socially constructed roles, behaviors, and attributes that a society considers appropriate for men and women, while sex is typically assigned at birth based on biological factors. The content explores concepts like cisgender and transgender identities, biological differences, and social and psychological differences influenced by gender norms. It also examines the impact of these constructs on individuals and society, including workplace dynamics and education disparities.


2. interesting point

Reading the Wikibooks page on "Gender" in sociology was quite enlightening. It emphasized the distinction between gender and sex, highlighting how gender is a social construct influenced by cultural norms and expectations. I found it particularly interesting to learn about the concept of cisgender and transgender identities and how these identities are shaped by societal influences. Additionally, the discussion on the impact of gender norms on workplace dynamics and educational disparities was thought-provoking, showcasing how deeply ingrained these norms are in various aspects of life. This page offered a comprehensive understanding of the complexities surrounding gender and its societal implications.


3. some questions

How do societal expectations influence gender roles in different cultures?

What are some examples of workplace dynamics affected by gender norms?

    For example, in some cultures there may be an expectation that men should be strong, independent, and competitive. In contrast, there may be an expectation that women should focus more on home and childcare and be gentle, attentive, and cooperative. Accordingly, men can be given a role to earn money outside the home, and women can be given a role inside the home.

 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...
