Make up classes: Can we think of some products or industries that have been disrupted by the internet?


As the Internet develops and usage increases, there are a variety of products or jobs that have disappeared. We have access to various things such as songs, radio, news, etc. on the Internet. Therefore, products with independent functions such as radio, mp3, and videotape are disappearing. Also, as related machines are being released in a variety of ways as Internet usage increases, people are reading and taking notes on their personal machines, which puts related industries at risk. 
In addition, as the Internet has developed, various jobs have disappeared, such as jobs that tell phone numbers, jobs that exchange phone numbers, and jobs that charge on buses have disappeared, and there are more and more types of jobs that are decreasing in number. There is even a story that various jobs, such as teachers, journalists, and announcers, can be replaced by the Internet and technology, and will disappear in decades. I think this is the reason why IT and computer-related jobs are in the spotlight. Therefore, I think students should explore their careers, create opportunities to increase common sense and knowledge, and prepare for the future.

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...
