W9-2 :: Deviance

1. Summary
This article introduces the theory of deviance. Deviation is an act of pre-exercise. Here the norm is the social norm to be observed as a human being. These deviations are classified into two categories - first, a deviation that refers to legal violations such as robbery, theft, murder, and rape, called official deviations. Second, it is an act that is not a big problem legally, but it is an act that causes harm to others, and is called an unofficial deviation. Deviation from a structural functionalist standpoint is an important act. Because deviance helps to distinguish acceptable behavior from unacceptable behavior itself. Deviation can also be seen as a means of changing society over time.

2. Interesting
I thought it was unconditionally negative because it was a deviation, but it was interesting that it had some effect on society. As mentioned above, it gives an awareness of what is right or wrong, or it helps radical changes in society.

3. Discussions
However, there is much discussion about the means of social control to correct deviations. There are many alternatives, such as retaliation, restraint, rehabilitation, and social protection, which direction can help as many members of society as possible but awaken the deviant?

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...

WK 1.4, what is Wikipedia? - Hanane Ben Abdeslam

Wikipedia was founded in 2011 by Jimmy Wales and is now available in more than 300 languages and it is worldwide used to do online searching. Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia written by volunteers. The name is divided in “Wiki” and “Encyclopedia”. A Wiki is a website that can be edited by any visitor. The information can be freely viewed and edited by anyone. In this way, the open character ensures that the information available on Wikipedia continues to increase. However, because everyone can edit a Wiki, the articles cannot be guaranteed with true facts/information. Wikipedia trust their community/volunteers that they check their work themselves. Whoever wants to edit must follow a strict guideline when writing articles. This includes that articles must be objective and that no copyrights may be infringed. I find it interesting that a Wiki is technically a “group project” because many people are editing it together, without exactly knowing that more people have been writing. ...

W2-1 Sociology and Sociologists

A Short Summary of ‘Introduction to Sociology/Being a Sociologist’ This article was about what we can learn when we major in Sociology and what kind of occupations we can have after graduating a major of Sociology. Basically, there are two ways of path you can go after graduation and this is mostly the same in all majors in Liberal Arts. First is employment and second is studying further. Mostly, students choose to get employed and the range of employment varies from educations to marketing etc. Something I learned after reading ‘Introduction to Sociology/Being a Sociologist’ Before reading this piece of information in wikibooks, I didn’t know that there was such a variety of field a sociology major can go. I only thought of sociology itself, not the connected fields around it. Also, I was surprised that 1/4 of PhD sociologists choose to work outside sociology academia. PhD degree sociologists are the ones who studied sociology more than anyone but they leave all their ...
