W15.1 June 10 (Mon) - Kim Seoyoung(김서영)

 1. Summary

Demography is the study of population size, structure, distribution, and population changes based on birth, death, migration, and aging. The demographic transition describes the process from high birth rates and mortality to low birth rates and mortality rates with economic development. In pre-industrial societies, population growth is slow due to both high birth rates and mortality rates, but in post-industrial societies, both birth rates and mortality rates decrease.


2. Mention of any new, interesting

Almost universally, the correlation between education level and fertility rate was the most interesting. This is because the most common answer was that the government's policy was the reason for the decline in the fertility rate in the process of contemplating the problem of low fertility in Korea. Through Wikipedia articles, women with high education levels are more likely to delay marriage and avoid parental roles, and labor market opportunities are improved.


3. Discussion

It would be good to compare developed and developing countries to investigate fertility and mortality rates and explore the causes.

    When examining fertility rates and mortality rates, comparing developed and developing countries can provide important insights. These comparisons help understand the causes of population fluctuations between the two population groups and show how various social, economic, and health-related factors affect population growth and changes in demographic structure. In developed countries, the fertility rate is generally low. This is mainly due to women's high level of education, better access to contraception, late marriage and childbirth, and economic stability. Economic stability and high standard of living reinforce the perception that a larger family is not needed, and social norms and cultural values also tend to be toward smaller families. On the other hand, fertility rates are high in developing countries. Here, access to contraception is limited, women's education levels are low, and large families tend to be considered a means of economic stability. Also, family planning is often poorly done because families with high cultural and religious beliefs are often supported.

 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. 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 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...
