Blogging through Invitation to Sociology (2020)

I think "kiosk" is the most appropriate answer to this question. If you go to restaurants these days, especially fast food restaurants, we can see that they have a kiosk system in place to speed up rotation and reduce labor costs during busy hours. It is a method of ordering by machine, but because it is a little complicated, the elderly of the analog generation tend to find it difficult. I also work part-time at a fast-food restaurant, and the elderly usually say, "That's too hard. Help me with my order."

When I first learned sociology, I was simply studying sociology at the high school level, for example, at the geography or shallow level, so I wondered what university-level sociology would deal with. What I feel after taking sociology now is that the scope of sociology is very diverse. And everything that humans can easily access in their lives can be a subject of sociology. So I felt that it was the study that was most closely related to our lives, and it allowed us to learn about the various aspects and changes of life.

There are many cases in which the Internet has influenced and changed our lives. For example, because my home is in Seoul, it often takes a lot of time to go to school, and I often check my timetable and driving information on the Internet to check the exact public transportation time. These information are almost accurate, so I can get there on time if I'm not late. If there was no internet, I would have had to wait without knowing when the bus would come. Another example is YouTube. YouTube allows anyone to upload videos that they want to upload regardless of their gender, status, or status, and anyone can watch videos. The development of the Internet allows extensive communication regardless of physical distance.

In the market, there is a tendency to manufacture blue for boys and pink for girls. In addition to colors, boys have toys such as knives, cars, and dinosaurs, while toys for girls include dolls, makeup, and mommy toys. Even when a girl wants to buy a car or a knife toy, or when a boy tries to buy a doll, parents often react negatively.

1. Summary Race and ethnicity have different meanings. Race is distinguished from other humans on the basis of physical differences. For example, factors such as skin color, face shape, skull size, and hair color are included. Nationality focuses more on shared past, history and culture than biological factors. There are structural racism, cultural racism, and historical racism in racism. Structural racism is inherent inequality in an organization or group. Cultural racism exists when there is an inferiority complex of one or more races in a society's culture. Historical racism is a form of inequality caused by racial discrimination in the past. Inequality breeds inequality. 2. Interesting I think the key is to get rid of the "white supremacy" exposed in the media. The media often portray racial minorities in barbaric forms rather than whites. 3. Discussions Recently, the "Black lives matter" movement has intensified, creating another racial discrimination in th...

1. Summary Gender has two meanings. First, the social meaning recognized culturally in the behavior of men and women, and second is the sex of physical meaning based on biological elements. Gender differences generally depend on the social environment, historical context, cultural customs, etc., which means that gender differences are closely related to social structures. Gender discrimination includes 'the belief that there are only two types of sex,' 'the belief that one gender is superior to the others' and 'the belief that men and women are very different'. 2. Interesting It was interesting to see the sentence that gender depends on behavioral expectations and norms by gender. In Korea, the word "manly" or "womanly" has often been used to use the word "manly" or "womanly" since ancient times. My parents used to say, "You're a girl, why are you so careless!" But there's nothing manly or feminine, and ...

1. Summary Social inequality is a phenomenon in which limited resources in society are distributed unevenly. Factors that distribute resources include ethnicity, power, religion, kinship, prestige, gender, age, inclination, class, etc. Inequality varies between men and women, racial and ethnic inequality, age inequality, health inequality and international inequality. Inequality is a phenomenon that occurs in almost every society. 2. Interesting In a stratified social structure, social position affects almost every aspect of social life. There are many influences, such as the treatment of others and the opportunity to come to one's life. However, it was impressive that not only attribution but also achievement status was important. In other words, unless you are born in a country that is too closed, your life is what you create and you will not be harmed by your family. 3. Discussions Of course discrimination is unfair. For example, having the same ability but being discriminated a...

1. Summary This article explains social stratification. Social stratification means that society classifies people into groups based on socio-economic factors. These socio-economic factors include wealth, income, status, gender, and occupation. In modern society, social classes are divided into the upper - middle - and lower - classes. The complexity and social stratification of society are proportional, because of social differentiation. In other words, social stratification in a complex society is created by the unequal distribution of limited valuable resources. But not everyone is fixed within one class. Hierarchy is also something that has mobility. Open layering can move layers by placing significance on an individual's acquired ability. On the other hand, a society without mobility is judged only by its innate status, showing the aspect of a closed stratification system. 2. Interesting The principle of social stratification was interesting. First, social stratification i...

I think the environment is important. Because, like crowd psychology, a person tends to fit himself to the average result when compared with others. No matter how powerful an individual's opinion is, I think it's better to have a good environment and let people follow suit, because if everyone else has objections, individual opinions can be killed. One thing that can explain this very well is the educational environment of Korea. Parents move from home to middle and high schools in good school districts or even make false registrations to send their children. It is to have children in a well-studied environment and a school environment with a lot of experience in good universities.

1. Summary The term "drama studies," which first appeared in a work written under the pen name of Hamburg Dramaturgy, is a study of dramatic composition and the expression of drama elements on stage. It is a comprehensive exploration of the context in which the play exists. Physical, social, political, economic, psychological foundations of characters, metaphorical expressions, etc. 2. Interesting It is interesting that the play reflects the times and the trend of society. It is also impressive that it informs directors and audiences of the history and present importance of the play, just like a production drama. 3. Discussion Copyright issues related to the drama have become a hot topic because the function of the drama can vary depending on the direction of production. I wonder which opinion you think is more right, between copylight and copylift.

1. Summary This article describes the symbolic interaction. The theory of symbolic interaction develops on the premise that the meaning of an action is symbolically identified within the social context. That is, how individuals interact, and in return, how the world shapes behavior. Most symbolic interactionist scholars believe that individuals respond indirectly to reality through a kind of thing consisting of different perspectives. In other words, humans do not exist in physical spaces composed of reality, but in a world composed of things. 2. Interesting It was interesting to argue that symbolic interaction theory could be used to describe one's identity. Symbolic interaction theory is divided into three categories – location, personal and social. Through this experience, people want to differentiate themselves from others, and personal identity is established. 3. Discussion But symbolic interactionists are overly impressionist and unsystematic. That is, rather than one estab...

1. Summary Until the 1930s, the term 'social structure' used in social science meant a lasting relationship between individuals or groups. In this respect, society is structurally grouped into different sets, serving different meanings and purposes. To be separated into different classes, for example, by social characteristics such as race, class, disability, and gender. 2. Interesting It was interesting to see that the social structure developed naturally. In other words, I realized that history and society are very closely related in the demands of system change, such as labor, management and the necessity of military class, and competition among political parties. 3. Discussion The concept of social structure can lead to prejudice. For example, men and women with the same abilities claim to be treated differently at work because of their gender, and I wonder what their classmates think about it.

1. Summary A social network is a social structure consisting of social interaction among social actors. Social networks are academic fields and other disciplines, including social psychology, sociology, and statistics. According to this article, the relationship in which a social unit is connected is related to the various social contacts of that unit. Social networks are generally self-organizing and have new and complex characteristics. There are exceptions, of course, but these characteristics give rise to consistent patterns around the world. 2. Interesting As an example, we studied the social network among criminals in criminology and urban sociology. As a result, the gang found that murderers spread from one place to the outside, which was interesting because weak gangs had to do more violent acts to survive. 3. Discussion Social networking services (SNS) derived from social networks are so popular today that few people do not use them. However, it is questionable whether the...

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, the...

1. Summary This article talks about the definition of socialization, the classification of socialization, the importance of socialization, etc. Socialization is the process of helping humans perform their functions and roles properly in social life. However, it should be noted that not all human actions are learned. In other words, there are innate areas, such as emotions and morality. Socialization consists of primary and secondary socialization. Primary socialization occurs mainly in infancy and adolescence, and secondary socialization takes place during the remainder of one's life. Socialization also has narrow socialization and widespread socialization, which in a narrow sense is intended to promote obedience and conformity. On the other hand, socialization in a broad sense is intended to promote independence and individuality. This is called broad meaning because it has a wide potential. 2. Interesting It was interesting that socialization was influenced by culture. In oth...

In the old days I thought learning outside was greater, but these days I feel the importance of education in school. Outside, of course, you can learn about social life and work necessary for your life, but you don't get basic liberal education. A documented education of culture, history, and culture allows me to understand the world of life I live in and makes people intelligent.

I think it's better to get as much political voice as possible because I think it's better to express my thoughts to the group as possible. However, it is also necessary to not focus too much on my opinions and listen to others' opinions.

1. Summary A government is a system or group of people that governs an organized community. The government generally consists of the legislature, the administration and the judiciary. The government is both a mechanism for determining policies and a number of times policies are implemented. Every government has an ideal. This is because of the number of people setting in certificate businesses, and it has become more important to manage the development of culture and water services. Glorious Revolution in England, the American Revolution, and the French Revolution. Free democracy has become more common than ever since the notification of East and West Germany, when countries with common governance like the Soviet Union also exist. In the 19th and 20th sectors, the number and size of national governance created through corporate statistics and the development of welfare states.   2. Interesting I've never heard of the term socio-political ambiguity. It is said that ...

1. Summary Politics is the act of making social and economic decisions in a group. Politics can be thought of as talking about a wide-ranging process at the national level, but in fact it happens easily in businesses, schools, families and even a handful of friends. Political power is the power that can manage the distribution of public resources, including labor and wealth. There are various forms of government – Monarchy, Democracy, Congestion, Oligarchy, Communism, and New Politics. 2. Interesting Among the various forms of government, it was amazing that the form of new politics was different from the culture of our country. I can't say that I'm not rational because I'm part of culture, but I was curious and amazed that I relied on something new. 3. Discussion Women are generally more likely to vote in developed countries, while women in political positions have low support, according to the article. It is also said that young people are less likely to vote than old...

I agree with the representative democratic voting method because of physical difficulties, but I disagree with the Internet voting because of the possibility of manipulation. Instead, it would be okay to limit it to those who are in a situation where voting is impossible.
