  1.summary


In this lecture, there was a general introduction to the professor and the class.The professor's teaching method is to ask questions and answer them directly.It is a class in which we develop our thinking skills and think directly about the topic by writing a blog related to the class every week.The professor said that the first of the most important things is to ask and think directly.

He also said that professors and students have different communication methods. He said that Koreans try to avoid conflict, are very collective, and avoid criticism. The professor asks us questions and students answer, receive advice and suggestions, improve their communication skills, and have an opportunity to think deeper.Also, people say that each person has a different way of learning, and some people learn by watching, and others learn by listening, reading, writing. (I very much agree with this idea!)And he said that our thoughts can all be different and that we should respect other people's thoughts even if they are different from our own.(That's right!)



2.interesting thing 


I am not good at English. I was very afraid of this class in English. However, when I took your introductory class and said that your free teaching method and individual learning method are different, my concern disappeared a little. It was very interesting that professors and students can ask and answer each other's questions, and people with different communication methods can think together and have new thoughts by receiving advice. In our lives, we tend to avoid people who are different from our own thoughts. But in this class, I think I can speak my thoughts freely and try to think about others again, and I will think about it again. I like your teaching method very much, and I will freely express my thoughts and listen to other people's opinions when asked questions during class.(I am not good at English, so even if I use a translator!)


3.discussion


Among what the professor said, Koreans try to avoid conflict and avoid criticism. Why is that? We live a very community life. From birth, we naturally live a community of family, kindergartens, schools, and companies. There are certainly many good things about living a community life. However, the phenomenon of being aware of others, adopting the majority of opinions in the community, and just following the majority of opinions without giving their own opinions is a problem of this system. Therefore, I think that the thoughts of living in such a community and just thinking, 'What if I am pushed out of this community after a bad opposition?' are what made us do.

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 institutions. This is one of the differences from economics, and economic sociology focuses on social meaning or social interactions that promote or interfere.  Economic sociology overlaps with economics, but there are attempts to redefine economic problems using sociological terms and approaches. Therefore, there is a difference in economic sociology that adds an economic approach to the analysis of social situations rather than a commonly used part of the economy. Through this comparison, it was possible to increase understanding of the

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...
