 1. The video introduces a very impressive development in the fields of biology and biotechnology. Here are some notable points. First, CRISPR-Cas9 is considered to be the most innovative gene-editing technology. The technology allows the precise cutting and modifying of specific DNA sequences. This has opened up new possibilities in various fields such as disease treatment, agricultural improvement, and biological research. As an example, there is a study that uses CRISPR-Cas9 to modify genetic diseases such as sickle cell anemia and myodystrophy. It is a method that has not been possible with conventional treatments, and it is an innovative approach that can save lives. In addition, genetic manipulation technology can increase crop yields and develop disease-resistant varieties. For example, Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) crops are being developed to have higher nutritional value or to grow even in extreme environments. It can make a big contribution to solving food security issues.While doing this additional project, I watched a lot of science videos, but it was the most difficult video. However, since it is health that leads to human health and life, I watched it with great concentration. What I was most interested in was the content related to rare diseases. It is because it is positive that there is a hope for the suffering person to cure the rare disease that exists.


2. The development of medicines that can treat humans and the increased lifespan of humans is a positive sign. However, I believe that ethical issues exist in this process, and the combination of low birth rate and aging population has the potential to lead to major social problems. Technological advances always pose a risk as a double-edged sword.


3. We talked about an example in which technology changed our culture at the beginning of the semester. This video can also be seen as an example. Among technologies, especially with the development of medicine, people have become accustomed to medicine and hospitals. As a result, coping with illness has changed and culture has changed

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
