 1.Summary:

Race refers to a group of humans differentiated from other humans based on real or imagined substantive differences. Ethnicity is related to race, but refers to social characteristics shared by human populations rather than physical characteristics. Characteristics used in ethnic classification include nationality, tribe, religion, and language.  Examples of ethnic groups in the United States include Hispanic or Latino. In the United States, software programs were used to calculate individuals' genetic profiles, and it was argued that the determinants of America's genetic structure were highly correlated with self-described race rather than current residence. Racism encompasses the belief that one race is superior or inferior, the idea that people should be treated differently depending on their race, and the actual discriminatory treatment that occurs. Structural racism refers to inequality built into an organization or system. In fact, candidates recognized as having white-sounding names were twice as likely to receive a callback as candidates with black-sounding names. To date, many people have lost their lives due to racial discrimination, and racial discrimination still exists in society.

2. What was interesting/what did you learn: 

Color blind racism was interesting. Colorblind racism has a framework of abstract liberalism, naturalization, cultural racism, and minimization. In the case of indigenous peoples, we often use images of them as more barbaric than white people. It made me think once again that when a specific race is highlighted as a specific image and delivered to people through the media, we end up with stereotypes that cannot be washed away, and the influence of this is huge.

3. Discussion Point:

Do you have any discriminatory thoughts about people from other countries in your daily life?

For example, I feel scared when I see black people.

    Do we have discriminatory thoughts about people from other countries in our daily lives? This is a question worth pondering, as discriminatory thoughts may stem from fear or misunderstanding of unfamiliar cultures or different appearances. However, such thoughts can be educated and made aware. By gaining a deeper understanding of other cultures, communicating with people from different backgrounds, and getting rid of the stereotypes of specific groups in the media or society, we can gradually eliminate these discriminatory thoughts. It is important to be aware of the existence of these thoughts and take positive steps to overcome them in order to create a more inclusive and understanding social environment.

    I know that I shouldn't think about anything discriminatory, but I think the difference I feel in the unconscious is from the smell. When I walked on the street, I smelled so strongly of artificial scents like perfume that I had a headache, so I looked around and most of them were foreigners with different nationalities from me. So, I think that the scent that comes out unconsciously has recently discriminated against me and foreigners.

 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...

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.

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 l...

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...
