Topic: what races do you think exist

Summary


Race is the concept of randomly dividing and classifying groups of people who are perceived to have differences, citing their physical, social, and cultural characteristics among humans. In general, it is easy to think that only external and biological characteristics such as skin color and genes are taken into account, but there are factors such as culture, traditional customs, and religion. This can be found especially in areas with a wide range of ethnic interracial interbreeding, such as Latin America, Central Asia, and India. The most widely used is the classification of white, black and yellow. The creation of this distinction stems from the fact that each nation distinguishes between a close group and a distant group according to its origin in the process of connecting the world into a single network since the 19th century, which is surprisingly recently established as the three major groups of so-called yellow/white/black people. 

Interesting


It's quite recent to divide into black, yellow, and white. It is only natural that globalization is recent. In the days when there was no exchange between countries, even this distinction did not exist. Therefore, it is quite a strange fact to distinguish it like this. 

Discussion
Besides the above three distinctions, is there any way to distinguish race? It is difficult to draw out more than three distinctions. I can see only those three races anywhere on Earth right now.

W9. Introduction to Sociology / Deviance

Sum mary   Deviation refers to the act of violating cultural norms. Violating the law is usually called an official deviation, and the act of violating informal social norms is called an informal deviation. Deviation can vary considerably depending on culture. Deviations defined by sociologists have many forms. Merton suggested a type of deviant behavior. According to him, the type of deviation is presented based on two criteria. The first condition is the adherence to personal motivation or cultural goals. The second condition is the individual's belief in how to achieve the goal. By selecting these conditions as Yes or No, there are four types and one additional type. The four types appear to be suitability, innovation, realism, and retro. One additional type is "rebellion," which refers to an individual rejecting both cultural goals and means of achievement, replacing or creating new means and goals. Structural functionalism argues that deviant behavior plays an impo

Dramaturgy (Sociology)

1. Summary -       Dramaturgy is a sociological perspective commonly used in micro-social explanations of social interactions in everyday life. In drama sociology, it is argued that the elements of human interaction depend on time, place and courtesy. The dramatic view is one of several sociological paradigms separate from other sociological theories because it analyzes context rather than examining the causes of human behavior. In the dramatic model, social interaction is analyzed in such a way that people live their lives like actors acting on stage. There are also seven important factors identified by Goffman regarding performance. The steps represent three areas (front, back, outside) where you can find multiple individuals with different roles and information. Front stage is that part of the individual’s performance which regularly functions in a general and fixed fashion. The backstage allows the performer to relax, put his front down and escape the character without speaking
