1.What was surprising or interesting in the video?

What impressed me deeply in this video is the birth plan of South Korea. Currently, the birth rate in South Korea is very low. As mentioned in the video, if the birth plan is not changed, the number of young people will decrease by 94% in 100 years, and the society will face a serious aging population. The average age of the population will gradually become 59 years old from 18 years old, and the country will become a country of old people, which is a very scary population aging problem.

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

This video is about the demographic crisis facing South Korea. In the face of this problem, I think there are many reasons for the aging population in South Korea. The most important aspect in the video is the increasing social pressure people face, the cost of having children is higher than People's Daily affordability, and the high cost of living and housing pressure in South Korea. These are very important problems in the face of society that need to be solved.

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

This video highlights the demographic changes in South Korea, the severe aging of the population in South Korea, inadequate implementation of family planning leading to low fertility, policy should consider how to implement family promotion programs, economic pressure and the impact of work culture on individual life choices, is an important area of sociological research. The highly stressful work environment and high cost of living in South Korea have led to young people being reluctant to have children, and what we have learned in the class allows us to think about and understand the reasons and social implications of young people delaying or refusing marriage and childbearing.

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

  1. summary This article explains what people with a sociology degree can do. 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. After graduation, sociology majors can pursue a variety of roles in business, government, and non-profit organizations, including consumer research, site selection, and product testing. In some cases, you may continue your studies. You can also pursue a more professional career by earning a doctoral degree. 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
