1. What was surprising or interesting in the video?

Although the human brain show remarkable machine-level abilities, it has been challenged by the recent development of artificial intelligence. Especially, AI outperforms humans in computational power, but the human brain excels at analyzing advanced data and filtering out related information through very complex information processing. I think this is why AI cannot replace all occupational groups in reality. It was also very interesting that animals showed outstanding intelligence that did not lag behind humans. In particular, it was impressive that crows, which thought they were simple birds, had excellent problem-solving skills using tools, dolphins had complex communication systems, and elephants had deep emotional intelligence and empathy.

2. What is the main topic of the video, and what do you think about it?

I think the theme of this video is "comparison and evaluation of human and animal intelligence." In the video, the human brain is very good, but it has a limitation in computational power compared to artificial intelligence, emphasizing that the human brain is not the final and complete of neuroengineering. It also details the intelligence of various animals. It explains how to compare the brain size and intelligence of animals through the EQ scale, which emphasizes that humans have a high EQ, so they can exert a high degree of intelligence and problem-solving skills. In addition, it can be seen as the basis for this topic that it emphasizes that intelligence develops through interactions with the environment, not just the result of evolution.

3. How does the topic of this video tie to what we have been discussing in class?

Social issues that can be discussed with those who watched the video include human- centered thinking, animal rights and welfare, environmental destruction and ecosystem conservation, technological advancement, and artificial intelligence. The mindset of comparing human intelligence to other animals with absolute superiority reflects human-centered thinking, which can be used as a basis for humans to dominate and exploit animals. Therefore, when comparing the intelligence of humans and animals, an attitude that respects the animals' unique intelligence and capabilities is necessary. The high intelligence and emotional complexity of the animals mentioned in the video raise questions about animal rights and welfare. The fact that animals, such as dolphins and elephants, have high intelligence and emotional abilities emphasizes that they should not be simply treated as tools or resources. In addition, the impact of AI development on human jobs and understanding the role and limitations of AI compared to human intelligence are important discussions in modern society, and the development of ethical and responsible technologies is necessary in consideration of the impact of AI development on human society. In addition, the emotional intelligence and social relationship shown by animals is also an important issue in human society. Emotional bonds and empathy play an important role in the cooperation and stability of human society.

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 least one q

Why are boys louder than girls? - Kim yeonhee (김연희)

  1) Summary Humans survive by learning the culture of the groups they belong to through social experiences. Throughout their entire lives, individuals undergo a process called socialization, which significantly influences their beliefs and behaviors. This applies not only to children but also to adults. Through socialization, individuals learn and develop beliefs and behaviors considered moral within their affiliated society, shaping their own values accordingly. Primary socialization occurs as children are influenced by their immediate family and friends. If they are exposed to discriminatory views about certain groups, the child may develop discriminatory attitudes towards those groups and believe that such behavior is acceptable. Secondary socialization occurs within larger society. Typically experienced during adolescence or adulthood when individuals encounter new environments and societies, secondary socialization is encountered. For example, in school, unlike at home, there are

First of all, sociology is chosen by people with a variety of personality types, and those who choose this field enjoy it at high rates.

This article explores the various possibilities of a sociology degree and provides useful information for students majoring in the discipline. 2.  mention of any new, interesting, or unusual items learned I thought that society itself was a very broad scope, but sociology had a narrow scope, but it was surprising that people who majored in sociology were active in a broader scope than I thought. It was also interesting to find that many sociology majors were satisfied wi
