1.summary In today's class, we were taught about how people become socialized and social cohesion. Here, socialization refers to human interaction or human assimilation into an established society. As the professor says, we are all socialized by our family from birth. When a child is born and the child shouts, cries, or disturbs the room, the family scolds them, saying, 'You can't do that!' Then, the child thinks, 'If you do this, you'll get in trouble!' and reduces the frequency of that behavior. As we live our lives, we continue to interact with others and continue to socialize. We become socialized not only through interactions with people, but also through the media. Through the information power of the media, we obtain and apply a lot of information to our actions. As a result, we learn in what situations and how to act. 2.interesting What's most interesting about me is that the question my professor asked me asked me, "Why did pink become the ...

1.summary In today's class, we looked at the points of 'how much democracy can be achieved' in countries around the world and discussed them with group members. I looked at Korea's score first, and it was almost perfect for Korea. Not surprisingly, Korea is a representative country of the democratic system, where the people can freely do whatever they want without breaking the law. Then I looked at North Korea's score, and North Korea scored three. I thought, 'What's that score? Did the producer of the website even get threatened by Kim Jong-un?' Because North Korea is a country where people's freedom is not guaranteed due to the dictatorship. When the professor said in class, it was impressive to say that the power of a dictator in autocracy is not limited. In autocracy, dictators decide everything. Then he kept talking about democracy to the professor. The question he asked was, 'Should all countries follow a democratic system?' I think it ...

1.summary One important keyword in today's class was 'democracy'. I learned various democracies and their characteristics. Democracy is an institution that conducts politics for the people or an idea that aims for such politics. There are various kinds of democracy, such as representative democracy, direct democracy, and floating democracy. Korea is a representative democracy. We vote for the president or members of the National Assembly every fixed year and date. We hope that the people we vote for will make and implement policies for the people. As the professor said, even if representatives who will represent the people are elected in a major democracy, they are very rarely acting as the people wish. I thought they were right. When selecting representatives, they usually decide whether to vote or not based on the candidate's pledges. Candidates' pledges are voted with the idea that 'Oh! It is a pledge that I like! If I vote for this candidate, my life would b...

1.summary In today's class, we learned about government, power, and taxes. Power is the ability to control or influence people's behavior. And who has that power in the modern world? They are the government and authoritative leaders. Here, authority refers to power that society legally recognizes. A leader can give trust to people, and it is a great strength. For example, in 1979, there was an incident in which an organization called 'Hanahoe' that trusted and followed the leader Chun Doo-hwan launched a military revolt in Korea. According to records from the time, the members of the group expressed the opposite position because they were very afraid of a military revolt, but after Chun's conviction and persuasion, Chun and the members of the group took on an important role of the state by believing in him and revolt against him and succeeding in the rebellion. The power of such an authoritative leader is a tremendous thing. It turns a country upside down. As I said...

1.Summary The representative thing I learned in today's class was the characteristics of socialism and capitalism. In capitalism, the environment is out of the question. To be precise, I pretend to be discussing, but I don't really care. These days, when companies sell goods to people, they try to increase their profits by saying, 'To reduce environmental pollution, we will make and sell them with eco-friendly materials! So, I will raise the price!' The professor said that there are companies that are really concerned and concerned about global warming and environmental pollution, but he said that in order to survive in a capitalist society, the environment is polluted. Therefore, socialism as a characteristic of socialism is followed by many people's choices. This is the case in the case of the Republic of Korea, a democracy in which I live. Not long ago, there was a parliamentary election, and that election also selected lawmakers through the law of majority vote....

1.summary In today's class, we learned about the economy and society after learning about the good and bad effects of religion on our lives. Religion has a lot of good effects on us, but it certainly has bad effects, the professor said. For example, trying to maintain a culture that may not be appropriate from the current point of view (like the hijab culture of Muslim religion..) or sometimes people who are too immersed in religion ignore people who are not their own. Next, he explained by linking economy and society. I learned that economy is a social science and protects our resources from a functional point of view. And he said that the role of key countries is important to make the world economy stable. The element of the economy is capital, labor, technology, and entrepreneurship, and each role is very important. And as the economy grew, cities developed rapidly, which triggered urbanization and led people to mainly engage in manufacturing without doing much agriculture. Duri...

   1.summary Today's class was about religious sociology. When I saw the word religious sociology, I thought, "Why did you write the same thing twice? Religion is society and society is religion!" The professor showed the religions of various countries around the world and presented pictures and graphs of the proportions of the people of each country. And he asked the question, 'What do you think religion is a glocal example?' An example is Buddhism. Buddhism is a religion spread by Sakyamuni, who is from Nepal, but his ideas have spread all over the world and are now selected as a representative religion. 2.interesting What was interesting to me was that many scholars had already studied the study of 'religious sociology'. This means that religion has been recognized as a society since a long time ago. I think I was mistaken. I thought that religion was recognized as a society because the media developed so that we could share each other's thoughts, b...

  1.summary Today, we taught about the connection between society and religion and the influence of religion. The professor said that religion and sociology are almost no different. I agree with that. Religion is a society. They have a representative presence they believe in and worship the presence they believe in in in their own religious place every week (or every day) on the day they decide. Through such activities, mutual bonds are strengthened and sociality is developed. I think this is no different from our society The first question the professor asked was, 'What is the representative function of religion?' The representative function of religion is that it gives meaning to people's lives. We sometimes think, 'Why am I living?' Religion energizes people by giving them meaning in life, and it also provides them with a regular life in their lives by making them appear in religious places every week. They can meet, talk, and relieve stress with various people.T...
