week 1-4: what is wikipedia? / how often do you use Wikipedia?

1. what is wikipedia?

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia of online user participation that anyone can freely write. Wikipedia was created on January 15, 2001 and is run by the nonprofit Wikimedia Foundation, whose founder is Jimmy Wales. Wikipedia is being made in more than 200 languages around the world, and it started in October 2002 in Korea.
Wikipedia is built into a system where anyone can write freely and fix according to their credentials. This caused controversy over its status as an encyclopedia, citing malicious editing, inaccurate content, quality of content, and lack of responsibility and authority. However, because it contains extensive knowledge in various fields and is constantly updated and accessible, many people are using it as a reference despite controversy.
Wikipedia has three principles for the content of documents to prevent these problems.
First, it is a neutral view. Both Wikipedia's text and encyclopedias should follow a neutral perspective and be fair and unbiased by trusted sources.
Second, verifiability. Every work in Wikipedia should be published by a trusted source and be able to confirm that it is true.
Third, banning original research. original research means facts, concepts, statements, or theories that are not published or published in Wikipedia.

2.  how often do you use Wikipedia?
I don't use Wikipedia very often. First of all, they use Naver's knowledge encyclopedia more often because they are not familiar with how to use it and mainly use Naver for search engines. But through this semester, I want to get closer to Wikipedia and increase the frequency of use.

When a social event happened, even people who had no direct connection with it came forward and wondered about the phenomenon of anger and solidarity together, but when I learned about the concept of sociological imagination, my curiosity was solved a little bit. People seem to be able to see irra...

Week 11-2. Dramaturgy (sociology)

1. Summary Dramaturgy is a sociological perspective that explains social interaction. This is Erving Goffman's idea, and he viewed theatre as a metaphor. He forms a theatrical metaphor that defines how humans present themselves to others based on cultural values, norms and beliefs. A dramaturgical action is a social action that is designed to be seen by others and to improve one's public self-image. Dramaturgical perspective analyzes the context. The individual's identity is performed through roles, and consensus between the actor and the audience. Because of this dependence on consensus to define social situations.  Stages refer to the three distinct areas where different individuals with different roles and information can be found.
