 1. summary


'What is the definition of sociology?' was a key topic in this class. The professor introduced the opinions of various people. For example, John Rex said that it is a study of social problems. Jonathan defined it as a study of the interaction of human behavior and social organization. There were opinions from a variety of famous scholars. He asked the question of how there are so many and so many different definitions. He also said that what we have defined is just defined by an organization (very impressive!) and we had discussion activities. We had a class where we listened to and talked about each other's opinions while discussing property, the power of relationships, and depression.

I have always thought, 'People's thoughts are all different.' And after listening to the professor's class, my thoughts felt more strengthened and verified. I was interested to see that various scholars defined the definition of sociology differently, and when I listened to the opinions of students who presented during discussion activities, I saw that everyone gave different opinions, and thanks to the excellent teaching method of this class, my thoughts were broadened. And it was interesting to be able to define certain words differently for each organization.

'Definition can change at any time' It seems to be the key point in today's class. Everything changes rapidly in modern society. As the fashion style you mentioned in class changes very rapidly, whether it is the times or information, so no matter how you define something, the definition cannot be changed. As information develops, our thoughts are broadened, online discussion sites are activated, thoughts are shared, and various discussions such as 'This is not right?' and 'This seems to be right.' That's why we need open ears and eyes that can listen to and accept other people's thoughts.

Introduction to the blog

March 03, 2024
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 least one q

  1) Summary Humans survive by learning the culture of the groups they belong to through social experiences. Throughout their entire lives, individuals undergo a process called socialization, which significantly influences their beliefs and behaviors. This applies not only to children but also to adults. Through socialization, individuals learn and develop beliefs and behaviors considered moral within their affiliated society, shaping their own values accordingly. Primary socialization occurs as children are influenced by their immediate family and friends. If they are exposed to discriminatory views about certain groups, the child may develop discriminatory attitudes towards those groups and believe that such behavior is acceptable. Secondary socialization occurs within larger society. Typically experienced during adolescence or adulthood when individuals encounter new environments and societies, secondary socialization is encountered. For example, in school, unlike at home, there are

1. Summary Today's class deals with the comparison between sociology and economics, another discipline.  After reading this article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_sociology) , I learned about economic sociology). Economic sociology is a study of the social causes and effects of economic phenomena, emphasizing the role of economic structures and institutions that affect society and exploring the impact of society on economic structures and institutio

1.Summary Terrorism is a violent act of achieving political, religious, and ideological goals through fear, which leaves deep scars and fears in the hearts of the people. Terrorists try to achieve their goals through physical violence, explosives, kidnapping, and assassination, and are carried out to urge political change or to achieve certain political goals. The core goal of terrorism is to create widespread fear and anxiety beyond direct damage. Various forms of terrorism greatly affect the minds of the people. Political terrorism is carried out with the aim of overthrowing a government or political system, and the people experience political anxiety and confusion. Religious terrorism is carried out to achieve religious goals, often amplifying conflicts and mistrust between religions, leading to social division. Ethnic terrorism is carried out by groups seeking national self-determination or independence, and people feel anxious amid conflicts and clashes between peoples. Ideologica...

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 key points of today's class were social class and inequality. Social class is a way to group people according to their economic and social positions. In general, people are classified into upper, middle, and lower classes considering factors such as income, education level, occupation, and social status, the professor said. This stratification will be related to the imbalance of resources and opportunities within society (Roles, who I learned in high school, comes to mind:() The upper class is mainly composed of high-income and wealth owners. It usually includes merchants, entrepreneurs, and high-ranking government officials. They are often socially influential and enjoy a high-end lifestyle, and try to maintain wealth through inheritance and inheritance to maintain their wealth and deliver it to their children. The middle class is usually made up of workers, middle managers, and experts. They maintain a relatively stable income and life, and can often develop profess...
