Blogging through Invitation to Sociology (2024)

  To me, this teaching style found interesting. The professor encouraged the presentation through the card, and naturally, I focused on the class. In addition, the task of writing on a blog in each class was an opportunity to develop myself in that I organized new information myself. Also, I could see what I was interested in while organizing the information. Through this class, I was able to study various theories about society. I was able to deeply learn the theories I learned in high school. While reading pages to write a blog, things I learned in high school often appeared. It was interesting to learn more deeply about the theories I learned in high school as a college student. I think it is important to learn sociology as a person who lives in society. This class is a must-take because it is a major class. It is a must-take, but I feel like I would have heard it if it were not. In fact, it was difficult at first because I had to conduct the class in English and also have to do...

 I think life expectancy will increase due to advances in medical science and stable food supply. When I get old, I think life expectancy will be around 100, which is well over 80. At that time, we will live with increased life expectancy in safe facilities and protection.

 -Summary Today's page introduces demographics. Demographics are the study of population structure and variations. These demographics are used as tools to explain multiple sociological phenomena. The demographic transition describes the process of transitioning from high birth rates and mortality to low birth rates and mortality rates. Prior to industrialization, the mortality rate decreases, but the birth rate is high and the population increases. After that, the rate of population growth stabilizes as the birth rate also decreases. It's about population growth and food. In other words, it talks about the impact of population growth on the food supply. Some people argue that the population increases or decreases with the food supply. -Interesting point I found the story of food and population growth interesting. We need to think about whether the population increased as the food supply increased, or whether the food supply increased as the population increased and technology a...

 -Summary Today's page talks about the impact of technology, the Internet, etc. on society. The aforementioned technologies have increased dramatically since the Industrial Revolution. Advanced technologies have changed people's lifestyles significantly. Two main theories emerge from this. Technology determinism and social constructism emerge. Technology determinism sees technology driving social change, and social constructism sees social needs and falcon driving technological development. The advent of the Internet has changed people's lives significantly. These Internet gaps occur depending on how you use them. - Interesting point I found the digital divide interesting. The information that people who have access to the Internet and those who do not have access will be very different. This eventually leads to information gaps, and social inequality. When this digital divide occurs, the gap between those who can and don't get information will widen over time. - Discus...

 -Summary Today's article is talking about race and ethnicity. First of all, race is the concept of classifying people according to their biological characteristics. Race can lead to a false belief that certain races are superior to others. Historically, race has been formed on social and political grounds. An ethnicity is a group of people who share a common cultural heritage, language, religion, nationality, etc. Ethnicity influences people's perception of belonging to a particular group. These races and ethnicities can lead to discrimination, which leads to colonialism and slavery. -Interesting point I found it interesting about the effects of immigration and multiculturalism. Immigration is common in the era of globalization. Immigration is complicating racial and ethnic issues. A son and a daughter from a variety of ethnic groups may be considered a new race. It was interesting because ethnic groups and races today seem to have diversified, unlike in the past, when people ...

It's a big issue all over the world, and in Korea, too. Most of the group's executives are men. It's called the "glass ceiling phenomenon." This phenomenon refers to the limits of promotion that women can't see in an organization. I found it interesting because I think it's still happening throughout society, even though people say that ability is important. -Discussion What are some ways to solve the glass ceiling phenomenon of women?

-Summary Social inequality refers to differences between people in various aspects, such as resources, opportunities, and power. The reasons for these differences are due to social structures and institutions. Social inequality is macroscopically divided into gender inequality, racial and ethnic inequality, and age inequality. Such social inequality can hinder the growth of society, such as increasing social anxiety, increasing crime rates, and the development of society. - Interesting point These days, gender inequality is an issue. It is a big issue both worldwide and in Korea. Most group executives are men. Even if you are promoted based on your ability, the number of women is very small. In some countries, women are still restricted from their education. It was interesting to think about this again. - Discussion What can you do as a member of society to address gender inequality?

 -Summary Today's theme, social class, means that individuals in a society are arranged hierarchically according to various factors such as wealth, income, social status, jobs, and power. The poetry class is used to explain inequality within social structures. The social class consists of elements such as class, status, power, and education. For example, there are caste systems in India or classification in the West. - Interesting point What's interesting about the social class is that you can move between classes. In the past, if you were born in the lower class, you would continue to live in the lower class, and my later generations would continue to live in the lower class, but today, your parents' class has little effect. It was interesting that if you put enough effort into it, you could go up to your class, or if you don't, you could go down. - Discussion What do you think is the most important factor for the multiple factors to work with hierarchical movement?

 -Summary Dramaturgy analyzes micro-social explanations for people's daily social interactions, and divides them into 'actors' and 'audience.' Or, it is a sociological point of view that divides them into 'front' and 'back.' This theory was presented by Erving Goffman in his book The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life. According to this theory, people behave in different ways in the front and back stages to create the images they want in social situations. Dramaturgy is used as an important tool in understanding and analyzing social interactions. - Interesting point The difference between the stage and performance.If you think, I'm trying to show only what I want to show you want to show them.It was fascinated because the behavior that you did naturally read the article summarized as theoretical. - Discussion I wonder if you want to show that you want to show only what you want to show.

-Summary The theme of this article, Symbolic Interactionism, is a theory that focuses on the interactions that shape society. The theory analyzes society from a microscopic perspective. It argues that social reality is constructed through individuals' subjective interpretations and interactions. This Symbolic Interactionism helps individuals better understand how individuals interact with each other to create symbolic worlds, and how these worlds shape individual behavior in return. - Interesting point I thought it would be done at macro perspective, I thought it would be made at macro perspective.However, this Sync Interactive Interactive Interactive Interface is a theory that focuses on micro interaction.It was interesting that individuals create symbols through mutual interaction.It was interesting that focuses on macro theory that focuses on large social structure and systems. - Discussion Symbolic Interactionism studies how individuals create and interpret symbols through inte...

 -Summary Today's 3 resources talk about social networks. A social network is a social structure consisting of a series of social actors (individuals or organizations), a series of dichotomous ties, and other social interactions between actors. These social networks analyze the structure of society and identify patterns derived from the analysis. To do this, you need to understand the interactions between units, not the properties of small units. These social networks affect information sharing, support systems, and social influence formation. - Interesting point Among the many factors in social networks, one of the interesting things is diversity and complexity. Each network has its own characteristics. It's the result of reflecting each culture. It was interesting that these different networks were connected and interacted with each other. It was interesting that different cultures were connecting and making new, unpredictable changes. - Discussion In modern society, online i...

 -Summary This page explains the concepts and components of social structure. Social structure means continuous relationships or bonds between individuals or groups of individuals. These social structures can be divided into micro-society and macro-society. It means that you can no longer divide and do not have your own social structure. It presents the views of several scholars, including Karl Marx, Ferdinand Toenis, and Emile Durkheim. - Interesting point Social structure interacts with a variety of factors. For example, it affects the family structure and individual socialization, and the economic structure influences political decisions. I found it interesting that these various social structural factors interact with each other, influencing each other. - Discussion Isn't it prejudicial to divide the social structure into specific characteristics?

 - Summary What is a deviation? Deviation is generally defined as any act that violates cultural norms. These deviations are largely divided into two types. The first is a violation of officially enacted laws such as crimes, and is called a tangible deviation. The second refers to a violation of informal social norms and norms not defined by law, and is called an informal deviation. This article presents various theories on this deviation. The theories related to deviation include labeling theory and conflict theory. It also presents statistics for these crimes. A large number of people does not necessarily mean that there are many criminals, and a small number of people does not mean that there are few criminals. - Interesting point Deviation is defined differently depending on the social situation. For example, there are countries where cannabis is legal, and there are countries where it is illegal, such as ours. It was interesting that deviations were defined differently accordi...

 - Summary Socialization, this topic, is the process of individuals learning and internalizing the values, norms, beliefs, and behaviors of their culture or society. In other words, socialization is the process of preparing humans to be hostile to social life. It appears in various forms of socialization as if there are various societies. It means that people in different cultures experience different socialization. Primary and secondary socialization can be distinguished. Children who have not been socialized are called feral children. Feral children may have experienced child abuse or trauma. Feral children lack the basic attitude to learn in the process of socialization. - Interesting point Socialization takes place in various ways according to each culture. In other words, people all over the world learn social skills to be enemies of each country from an early age. I found it interesting that people living in the era of globalization where various cultures harmonize. They must...

 - Summary Today's theme, the government, is responsible for organizing and controlling society. The government exerts its influence to maintain order and safety in the country by establishing and proceeding laws, policies, etc. within a set area. The government consists of the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch. Each department does a set job and helps the government maintain a smooth order and safety. The government is divided into democracy and communism, according to its form. - Interesting point Many forms of government have been interesting to me. I have lived in Korea all my life, thinking that everyone is living in a democracy. To be honest, I only lived in democracy. However, there are many forms of government in the world, including communism and military government. This means that many people are living various lives, and they are living a different life than I have lived. It was interesting because I felt like I could look at the world fr...

 Q. Should we  transform our representative democracies to direct democracies and make politicians obsolete? A. We have to protect politicians.

 - Summary This time, I read an article about politics. Politics comes in many forms, such as monarchy, democracy, totalitarianism, communism, and so on. The article explains many forms and how sociology and political science are at odds. It explains politics, gender, age, race, and class by linking them. Through this article, you can understand how politics is structured. -Interesting point  Not long ago, there was a general election in the Republic of Korea. Through this general election, I became very interested in politics. And through various media, I learned about famous politicians and successful candidates who turned the tables. However, I didn't know how this politics was organized and how it was operated. It was interesting because I think I gained basic knowledge of political science through this article. - Discussion Democracy is characterized by a "majority vote." Can most citizens' opinions be taken as the result if the turnout was less than a majority, ...

- Summary Today, I'm going to write about Socioeconomics, Economic Sociology.  First, economic society can be broadly divided into the classical era and the modern era, and it is the study of the social causes and consequences of economic phenomena. In the Classical part, we study the role of economic structures and institutions acting on society, and the impact of society on the economy and institutions. In the Contemporary part, we study the social consequences of economic exchange, meaning, and social interactions that promote or hinder economic interactions.  Socioeconomics, also called social economics, analyzes how society develops and degenerates due to the local economy or the global economy. It comprehensively considers the complex interactions between economic processes and social structures by utilizing theories and methodologies from other disciplines such as anthropology, politics, and psychology, as well as theories and methodologies from economics and sociology....

 Q. Coercion is less effective in today's post-industrial societies why do you think this is the case? A. Today, I think the coercion has weakened due to the development of the media and SNS. This is because I can check other people's opinions in real time through the media and SNS, and I can also present my opinions in real time. I think it is more effective to present an opinion that many people can agree with than coercion.

 - Summary This article is about Sociology/Economy. In summary, we are talking about Sociology/Economy broadly divided into capitalism and socialism. It contains the history of authoritarianism and socialism, how works, example states, and even criticism. The economy is one of the elements that is absolutely impossible to separate from society. We can understand how sociologists try to understand these economies. - Interesting point Capitalism and Socialism, even if you're not very interested in the economy, have heard of it at least once in your life. I've heard it in my life, but I'm sure most people don't know exactly. I was one of many people. However, looking at this article, I was able to understand two theories by looking at the definition of each theory and examples that are actually being applied. It was interesting to know a theory that I didn't usually know exactly. - Discussion Can we say that Korea is a perfect capitalist society? What are some things y...
