W13.2 May 31(Fri) (Chaebhin Jeong/정채빈)

 1.Summary:

Sociologists distinguish between sex and gender and between six-sex/gender people and transgender sex/gender people. Cis sex/gender people are people who adhere to existing concepts of sex and gender in a given social, historical, and other context. In contrast, transgender sex/gender people are people who do not conform to existing concepts. Like sex, gender is a socially constructed interpretation of human behavior patterns. Sex, like sex, is fluid and can change. For example, a child raised as a male may later engage in female behavior, and the same can happen to women. However, it is clear that clear physiological differences between the sexes exist.

2. What was interesting/what did you learn: 

I thought that although I could not decide my biological gender, I could decide my social gender. If you were born a man but are interested in what women do in society, you can do it. If you were born a woman but want to be masculine, you can live like a man. However, I think there is a need to think about this since it is still a country in Korea where it is not socially recognized.

3. Discussion Point:

Biological differences between genders are clear. Most men are considered stronger than women, and women are considered more meticulous than most men. There are clear differences, but what attitude is needed to prevent them from leading to discrimination?

    As argued in the above article, it is important to reduce gender-related prejudices and create a society where everyone can freely express their identity. In some societies, such as Korea, traditional expectations and stereotypes about gender still exist strongly, making it difficult for social recognition of various gender expressions and identities. In this situation, education and dialogue to change the perception of gender are important. Efforts are needed to form a culture that respects gender diversity and individual identity in people.

    An attitude of equality and respect is necessary to ensure that biological differences between genders do not lead to discrimination. Recognize each gender's unique strengths and provide equal opportunities to all individuals without discrimination. Additionally, gender stereotypes should be avoided, and evaluation based on competence and quality should be pursued. It is also necessary to raise awareness of gender equality through education and dialogue, and to strengthen the system to prevent gender discrimination through laws and policies.

 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...

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...
