9-1) Introduction to Sociology/Socialization

Introduction to Sociology/Socialization


1. Summary
Socialization is the process of preparing human beings for good social life. Socialization is relative to the times, cultures and places. Socialization is generally divided into two parts. Primary socialization takes place early in life as a child and a teenager. Secondary socialization occurs when additional socialization is needed. Socialization takes place throughout life. Socialization is very important. People explain the importance of socialization, citing the example of a child abandoned in the wild.

2. Interesting
It was interesting that socialization lasted throughout life. We go through a constant learning process. We interact and interact in social groups all our lives. And times and technologies change. We must study, in line with changing times and techniques. Social relationships should also change accordingly.

3. Discussion
Which social group do you belong to now? And what socialization process did you go through in that group?

    We currently have the status of a university student. You can naturally think of yourself as a university student, but we know that we have to learn as university students and recognize ourselves as independent and autonomous. I think all of these processes are socializing.

W1-1 Why am I taking this class?

Probably, I expect most of the students taking this class will answer similarly. I am taking this class to enhance my English skills as well as to improve my social knowledge. However, since the name of this class is ‘ Invitation to Sociology ’ and the class is run in English, I am expecting to deal issues that are not only limited nationally, but also international issues, which might be hard to cover in other classes that run in Korean. I also guess that by using English to search information, I would be able to find much more information compared to researching in Korean. Therefore, by taking this class, I expect that I might be able to gain general understanding of the overall sociology and learn skills how to deal with the vast amount of the information to find the main point of the material.

Week 1-1. Introduction to Sociology

1. Summary  Sociology is the study of what activities and thoughts human beings have as members of society. They are also interested in the structure of society and have a welfare system in place From small to big, the areas that society deals with vary. Sociological imagination allows individuals to deviate from self-centered perspectives and view the world as a common entity. This can interest others in their situations and encourage them to directly address the problem. So sociology is the study of understanding social events, collecting, analyzing and studying empirical data.  2.  Interesting   I found the story of sociological imagination interesting. 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...

W2-2 Introduction to Sociology/Sociological Methods

A Short Summary of ‘ Introduction to Sociology/Sociological Methods’ This part of the book is about the methods employed in sociology and some standards of the methods and what it tells us. In scientific methods, there are four steps. Characterization, hypothesis, prediction and testing. For the best prediction in scientific methods, we need to know the correct relationship between correlation and causation. It is important not to mistake correlation and causation. Also, quantitative and qualitative methods are two different approaches of sociological research. Depending on how we approach, we can classify objective approach, critical approach and subjective approach. Overall, it is important to obey ethics. Something I learned after reading ‘ Introduction to Sociology/Sociological Methods’ What I found interesting was that even though sociology is in the Liberal Arts, it includes different scientific methods. And by using these methods, we can make predictions and expl...
