1.Summary The key point of today's class was 'peace'. In particular, we were taught about the level of peace in the country. There are several indicators for assessing a country's level of peace, one of which is the most widely known is the Global Peace Index (GPI). The GPI is presented annually by the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), which compares and evaluates the levels of peace in countries around the world. The index measures a country's level of peace in three main categories: social safety and security, domestic and international conflicts, and the level of militarization. Social safety and security include internal safety factors such as crime rates, terrorist activities, and violence. Domestic and international conflicts assess the degree and duration of internal and external conflicts, and casualties, and the level of militarization measures the degree of militarization, including military costs, arms imports and exports, and military personnel.

1.Summary The key point of today's class was the male-female gap. There are several differences between what men and women want, which are influenced by biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors. Of course, these differences are generalized, and the individual differences are even greater. In general, women tend to prefer more stable and safe environments. This is also explained by evolutionary psychology, as stability and safety play an important role in terms of survival and reproduction. Men, on the other hand, tend to prefer adventure and challenge. This may biologically be related to the influence of testosterone, a male hormone. Women tend to value more relationship building and communication. This stems from the desire to build and maintain social networks through intimacy. Men often value achievement and goal achievement, which can act as an important factor in survival and reproduction. Psychologically, women are also better at expressing their emotions and read...

1.Summary The main points of today's class were related to the various gaps between women and men. Gender stratification refers to the unequal distribution of resources, opportunities, and powers according to gender in society. It mainly works against women and LGBTQ people, resulting in various social, economic, and political discriminations and inequalities. Gender stratification is a deeply rooted issue historically and is still seen in many parts of the world today. Gender stratification is problematic for many reasons.

Women and LGBTQ people experience discrimination in many areas, including education, employment, and political participation, which prevents them from fully realizing their individual potential. Also, gender stratification deepens economic inequality. Women earn lower wages compared to men an...

1.Summary The main topics in today's class were social class and prejudice. Social class simply refers to how people are divided by various criteria, such as money, power, education level, occupation, etc. Our society is generally divided into upper, middle, and lower classes. This distinction can be defined differently for each person, but it's generally divided like this. The upper class is people with a lot of money and power. They usually have a good education, high jobs, and have a lot of influence in society. Living in a big house, riding a good car, and eating at a fancy restaurant, etc., the standard of living is very high. The middle class are less likely to live a stable life than the upper class. Many people usually graduate from college, have stable jobs, and care about their children's education. Their homes and cars are decent, and they have the economic power to live a leisurely life. The lower class are people who suffer from financial difficulties. There ar...

1.Summary  The most important theory in today's class was the world system theory. The world system theory is   It is a theory that explains the asymmetric relationship between the center and the periphery by grasping the world as a social system. And the key word that was important in addition to the theory was 'poor'. The theory of world systems deals with the distribution and structure of power in international politics, and if we link it with poverty, we learned that countries or regions with insufficient power in the world can remain underpowered compared to other countries. For example, if a single country has dominant power, its rich class dominates the international economic system, and poor countries or regions may be limited in resources and opportunities due to this lack of power. This imbalance of power can widen the economic and social gaps between countries and lead to a lack of living conditions and opportunities for the poor. In addition, in the multi-power ...
