 1. The video claims that human characteristics are determined by the structure of the brain. The rationale behind the opinion that human characteristics are determined by the brain's structure is based on several scientific studies and findings. It is well known that each region of the brain is responsible for a specific function. For example, the frontal lobe controls planning and judgment, problem solving, and social behavior, while the hippocampus is related to memory formation. The specialization of these functions is made possible by structural differences in each region. Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ability to change structurally with experience and learning. Changes in synaptic connections and neuron structures in the brain in learning new skills or forming memories are strong evidence that brain structures influence characteristics. It turns out that certain genes play important roles in the development and function of the brain. For example, the FOXP2 gene is related to language ability, and these genetic factors shape the structure of the brain and ultimately affect individual characteristics. I didn't want to come into contact with science because it was difficult, but it was very interesting that the difference between the tissue of the nervous system and the human characteristics is determined by the difference between the brain

2. The video covers the brain's nervous system, nervous system, and human characteristics. Science has always been proven and provided a reliable basis. But I think there are exceptions when it comes to the sociology of human affairs. Humans cannot rule out genetic factors that come from their parents' personalities, the environment they grew up in, and the influence of individual experiences and cultures. So, while we can't completely rule out the scientific argument in the video, we don't think there's a right answer for humans.


3. In class, we talked about the appearance of medieval Korean society. Compared to the Middle Ages, our culture and values have changed a lot. However, compared to the Middle Ages, our external appearance has not changed significantly. In this video, I wanted to argue that this argument was not clear, but it was meaningful that I could find the basis for it in class.

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
