Week 13_ Introduction to Sociology/Gender

1. Summary

페미니즘 : 네이버 포스트
While social scientists have dealt with these problems in many ways, the gender/gender system remains one of the most powerful belief systems in both religious and scientific circles in our world today. This article introduces the components of the gender/sexual classification system and looks at how people understand these beliefs in their ongoing lives and the consequences of these social structures for the larger social world. In particular, the "gender difference theory" indicates that one gender is superior to another, that men and women are very different, that this should be strongly reflected in society, language, sexual rights, and law, and that it can simply disgust men and women or teach transgender sex. Sociologists and other sociologists believe that many of the differences between genders stem from gender socialization. Sex socialization is potentially a process of educating and teaching men, women and children about the norms, behaviors, values and beliefs of group members. Gender socialization instills stereotypes about gender in people.

2. Interesting

Another common form of sexism is violence, especially against women and transsexuals. In 2002, more than 900,000 violent crimes and more than 200,000 rape or sexual assault victims were women. Men are more likely to be victims of violent crimes, but much less likely to be victims of rape or sexual violence. Similarly, recent reports show a steady pattern in which trans people suffer more sexual violence than any other social group. The continued increase in violence against transsexuals means that negative perceptions of transsexuals are still prevalent. Why can't they admit something different from others?
 

3. Discussion

The "feminist theory" is a mixture of conflict and symbolic interaction theory and criticizes the hierarchical power relationship inherent in the existing culture, belief, discourse, identity and self-expression process. Based on conflict theory, for example, feminist theory examines how women and other sexual minorities are disadvantaged in relation to male and cisgender norms within the patriarchal structure, culture and process of social organization. As such, there is nothing wrong with the definition of feminist theory. Nevertheless, the perception of feminism in Korea is very negative. Why is that for? And what are some examples of feminism being abused?

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...
