Week 13-1 Introduction to Sociology_Gender

Introduction to Gender
1. Summarize 

Gender means a statement of common understanding and discriminatory social status about the composition of masculine and feminine behavior. The concept of gender arises and is dependent on behavioral expectations and norms. It is as if the actor prepared for the play as if he were acting in charge of gender. There are certainly physiological differences in gender. I don't know how it exists, but there is a difference. There is also a difference between men and women in education. It is an "educational achievement," in which men who have long been exclusively educated have increasingly been given educational opportunities for women, and are now equally educated regardless of gender. As such, there are many differences depending on gender, but differences and differences are different. Differences should be respected, but discrimination should not exist.

2. Interesting

Typically gender discrimination is a typical unequal situation caused by gender differences. Despite the noticeable increase in women's participation in sports, the scope of what is mainly covered in the news has not changed. In 1989, women only had 5 percent of the time to be on the air. In particular, sports highlights shows were less accommodating than conventional media, offering only 2-3 percent of them. This is an example of gender discrimination in the media. This is not the case now, but in the past this is an imbalance.

3. Discussion 

What do you think about gender?

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...
