W14.2 June 7 (Fri)(Chaebhin Jeong/정채빈)

 1. Summary: Technology refers to a collection of techniques, methods, or processes used to achieve a goal, such as production or research. Knowledge of technology can also be included in technology, and cars can also be considered a form of technology because they allow us to achieve specific goals. A representative example of modern technology is the mobile phone. It's clear that cell phones have had many positive effects on us, but research shows that many people report high levels of anxiety when separated from their phones. Social networks also follow a similar pattern.

2. What was interesting/what did you learn: 

I think any technology has a double-edged sword. In the case of mobile phones, there were many advantages, but the development of networks created a new form of anxiety that caused alienation in those who did not belong to it, so the causal relationship was that society was changed by technology rather than technology being created by people. I thought it was more suitable.

3. Discussion Point:

Which do you think is more influential: the claim that technology arises in response to people's needs or the claim that society changes due to technology?

    I support the theory that technology changes society. Companies make technologies that people have never even thought of. And the technology created changes the way the public lives. In other words, it is true that technology changes society. For example, the iPhone created by Apple changed people's ways of living.

    I support the argument that technology is generated in response to people's needs. I think that the important driving force behind technological development is human need and desire to develop technology.
    People's active use of Internet services has also been developed by their convenience and the demand for smooth and free communication. From this point of view, I think that technology advances based on responses to users' needs.

 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.

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...
