Blogging through Invitation to Sociology (2020)

Make up class; What I did learn from this class? The class talks about changes in the overall social atmosphere and flow, and topics discussed in current society. They also talk about discrimination such as gender inequality and racism, talk about the attitude people take as members of a society, and talk about the history of communication that technology has developed so far and the future that will further develop in the future. Most of the contents mentioned in the class are still important in the present, and people intensively observe them, so it can be combined with real life outside the class, so I was able to concentrate more on the class and felt as much as I did. What I felt most about this class was that most of what it covered was caused by changes in social awareness and technology. Problems such as racism and gender inequality have not caused inconvenience to people in the past, but over time, there has been a change in people's perception, and more and more peopl...

1. summary Race is a group of humans considered to be in some way distinct from other humans based on actual or imagined physical differences. Racial classification is based on the biological classification of humans by morphological characteristics such as skin color or facial characteristics. The concepts of race are often controversial because of their influence on social identity and how such identity affects someone's position in the social hierarchy.  Ethnicity  refers to the social characteristics shared by humans, such as nationality, tribe, religious belief, official language, shared culture, shared traditions, etc., regardless of race. Unlike race,  Ethnicity  is not externally allocated by other individuals. Some sociologists and biologists consider race to be a social structure, meaning it is merely an artificial distinction created by humans. Therefore, many social scientists change the word race to the word  ethnicity . 2. interesting ...

1. summary "Gender" refers to a recognized or assumed social position within the designation between culturally established male and female behavior, and also refers to an individual's mission in a socially constructed category. Gender is a socially constructed interpretation of patterns of human behavior, similar to the Sex defined by the scientific community. Gender can mean the inner feeling that a person cannot belong to both men and women and is somewhere between these categories. Because Gender relies on behavioral expectations and norms, individuals can adopt actions that project the gender they want to describe. This aspect can be thought of like the role of a play. There is an apparent biological difference in genders. In addition, when differences occur in Gender, they vary depending on society, environment, historical context and culture, which shows that Gender differences are social structures. The main examples of socially constructed Gender difference...

1. summary Demography is the study of population dynamics, and demographic analysis is important because it can be used as a tool to explain many sociological phenomena. Demography tends to rely primarily on large datasets, especially large datasets over a long period of time to develop trends in demographic indicators such as birth and mortality. The Demographic Transition is a model and theory that explains the shift from high birth and death rates to low birth rates and mortality rates occurring in a country. In  postindustrial  societies, both birth and death rates are high, so population growth is relatively slow, but in most postindustrial societies both birth and death rates are low. Changing from high to low speed is called The Demographic Transition. 2. interesting I learned that changes in population have a great influence on society as a whole. From social customs to aspects of life and life, there were many things that were affected by the increase an...

1. summary In the field of social science, the focus is on technology, including cellphones, video games, virtual worlds, social networking services, and digital media. Technology is a collection of skills, methods, or processes used to achieve goals, such as the production of goods or services or scientific research. Technology is mainly referred to as knowledge that facilitates production, but often the product of technology is also called technology because it facilitates the production of products or services or helps achieve goals. The most famous example of modern technology is cell phones. The introduction of mobile phones has brought many changes to society and led to changing social customs. Social Networks has many advantages, including keeping in touch with distant acquaintances, but actions in Social Networks may cause problems in future life. Nevertheless, many people use social networks because people don't want to be left out of the group. 2. interesting ...

1. summary Social quality is found in almost every society, occurring when the resources of a given society are distributed unevenly. Social quality is formed by a variety of structural factors and people with little social role or status that members of society occupy are likely to experience social quality. The status of society appears in two forms: ascribed  characteristics  and achieved  characteristics . ascribed  characteristics  is a trait that is given from birth or assigned by another person and is largely uncontrollable by individuals. achieved  characteristics  is what an individual gets or chooses. In the overall stratification structure of a society, a person's social position is influenced and influenced by almost every aspect of social life and the opportunities of life. Today, social inequality often causes political conflicts and contributes to the formation of a consensus that political structures determine solutions to such conf...

1. summary Social status refers to the group classification of people based on socio-economic factors such as wealth, income, race, education, gender, occupation, social status, etc., which is the relative social status of people. Social stratification results from inequality of status among people, and the degree of social inequality contributes to the determination of individual social strata. Social mobility is the movement of individuals, social groups, or categories within a hierarchy or within a stratified system, and movement may be within a generation or between two or more generations. Social mobility is generally considered the most open and flexible system of stratification in a society with the highest inter-generational mobility by placing value on the state characteristics achieved by individuals, and a closed stratification system, such as a caste system whose social status has been established since birth, is considered to last a lifetime. 2. interesting ...

1. summary Dramaturgy in sociology is a commonly used view of micro-social description of social interaction. Dramaturgy argues that elements of human interaction depend on time, place, and public. Dramaturgy analyzes the context of such behavior, not the cause of human behavior. From this point of view, the identity of the individual is achieved through a given role and the implications between the actor and the audience. In addition, it is said that an individual's identity is not a stable and independent psychological entity, but that the person is constantly recreated by interacting with others. Like actors who act on stage. There are three distinct areas in the Dramaturgy perspective. In Front stage, people are expected to express themselves in certain ways. Therefore, people are shown to play a given role in society. Back stage is spoken as an expression of self in everyday life, which means that you can freely express yourself away from a given role in a social situati...

1. summary Symbolic interactionism is a sociological theory that develops from practical considerations and implies people's use of certain dialects to create images and create general meanings for reasoning and communication with others. In other words, to understand how individuals interact with each other for the symbolic world, and how the world forms individual actions accordingly. Individuals act on the premise of a common understanding of meaning within the social context. The following three assumptions constitute a symbolic interaction. First, individuals form meanings through the communication process. The second is that pride is the motive for action. Finally, there is a unique relationship between individuals and society. Symbolic interaction is related to social structure. Symbolic interaction suggests that people's actions represent the structure of social reality. 2. interesting With the advent of New Media, it was interesting that people coul...

1. summary Social network is a social structure consisting of a series of social actors, dynastic ties and other social interactions among actors, which can be analyzed to identify regional and global patterns, find influential entities, and investigate network roles. In the network context, social capital exists where people benefit from their location in the network. Most social structures tend to be characterized by groups of strong links. Information within these clusters tends to be somewhat homogeneous and redundant. It is said that when two separate groups have non-redundant information, there is a structural hole between them, and networks with many structural holes become a kind of social capital that provides information benefits. 2. interesting Social network seems to stand out more, especially on social media. I make people who seem to have a connection with me as recommended friends to follow them, and I also find information on topics that I am interested ...

1. summary Social Structure means a lasting relationship or bond between individuals or individual groups, which can mean a situation in which when an entity or group has a clear relationship with each other, patterns of behavior and relationships that last relatively long within society, or social institutions and norms, are included in a social system in a way that forms actors' behavior within a social system. Social Structure can be divided into Microcology structures and Macrosociology structures. Microstructure can no longer be divided into patterns of relationships between most basic elements of social life, and does not have their own social structure. Macrostructure, on the other hand, is a pattern of relationships between objects with their own structures. 2. interesting In this article, it is said that the concept of social structure sometimes hides systematic prejudice. Because there are many variables, they may be hidden by other variables. Therefor...

1. summary Deviation is an act that violates cultural norms, mainly divided into two types of deviant behavior. First there is a crime, which is a violation of officially enacted laws and is said to be an official deviation. Examples of crimes include robbery, theft, rape, murder and assault. Secondly, it means a violation of informal social norms not codified by law and is called an informal deviation. Deviation can vary considerably depending on culture, considering that cultural norms are relative. There are three main approaches to deviant theory. First, Structural-Functionalism argues that deviant behavior plays an important role in society. Conflict Theory approaches primarily from the aspect of crime to talk about how deviance reflects a power imbalance. Labeling Theory is an approach that labels a person's. Social control has two general types of means that society uses to bring its members back to their cultural norms. Formal social control refers to a social c...

1. summary Socialization is a basic sociological concept consisting of many elements, and the three goals of socialization presented by Arnett are impulse control and the development of conscience, job preparation and performance, and the source of meaning or cultivation of what is important, valuable and worth living. In other words, socialization refers to the process of preparing human beings to make social life t possible. It should be emphasized that socialization is culturally relative, and that not all aspects of human behavior are taught. Socialization can be divided into primary and secondary socialization, which occurs early in life. Secondary socialization means socialization that takes place throughout one's life. Not all socialization is voluntary and not successful. Socialization theory varies, but representative are Symbolic Interactionism, Role Theory, Reinforcing Theory and Internalization Theory. Symbolic Interactionism is the theory that the self develops...

1. summary Governments are systems or groups of people that govern organized communities, mostly national but often corporate or other organizations. Most of the government consists of the legislature, the administration and the judiciary. Governments are not only mechanisms for determining policies, but also means by which organizational policies are implemented. The main aspect of government philosophy is how to gain political power, the two main forms of electronic contest and heredity. It forms the formation of an early government as small urban countries began to emerge about 5,000 years ago. The spread of republican forms of government has increased since the end of the 17th century, and liberal democracy has become a much more general form of government since the fall of the Berlin Wall. 2. interesting I was surprised to learn that the form of government was more diverse than I thought. The government I've been thinking about has been limited to democracy. ...

1. summary Politics is a process in which people in a group make social and economic decisions, consisting of social relationships that include methods and tactics used to create and apply social policies, such as authority, power, and regulation of political units. Political power is a kind of power a group has in society to manage the distribution of public resources, including labor and wealth. The degree to which a power is owned relates to the amount of social influence wielded by those who own it. In other words, it is defined as the ability to influence the behavior of others. Authority is sometimes used interchangeably with "power" but has a different meaning. Authority refers to claims of legitimacy, legitimacy and the right to exercise power. Violence is that the government may have the right to use violence if it refuses to comply with the government's instructions. However, the lack of a right to use Violence does not mean that the government has no au...

midterm essay;changes in Korean society Until just a few decades ago, Korea was one of the poorest countries in the world. Korea, which was divided between the two Koreas after the Korean War and the colonization by Japan, has made a lot of efforts to revive its economy by sending women as nurses and men as miners to Germany. Now, Korea is one of the OECD member countries and has grown into a country with an economic competitiveness that of the past. The world's leading culture of K-pop, with BTS as the centerpiece, has become very popular, especially in Southeast Asian countries, and the movie "Parasite," directed by Bong Jun-ho, recently attracted worldwide attention. The fact that South Korea has achieved rapid economic and cultural growth in a relatively short period of time is probably due largely to the Korean character. Korea has long placed importance on group life and has developed a group culture. There is also a general tendency toward family life. This...

1. summary Economic sociology is the study of the social causes and effects of various economic phenomena. In the classical era, there was interest in modernity, nationalization, securitisation, urbanization, and socialization. Economics played a role in classical sociological research because sociology was mainly caused by a reaction to capitalist modernity. In particular, he stressed the role of the economic structure and system that works on society, and the impact of society on the nature of the economic structure and system. Modern economic sociology involves the study of all modern social aspects of economic phenomena. 2. interesting It was interesting that economic sociology may have different roles depending on the times. Because I thought economic sociology was relatively recent, I thought there would be no difference between the past and the present. 3. discussion What is the reason for social economics to extend beyond being limited to the economi...

What do you think Marx meant by that? Marx said the religion "the opens of the mass." Religion serves as a resting place for the public. When you do something that makes you feel guilty, you apologize for your wrongdoing by taking religion, and when you want to be something, you pray to God and hope to achieve what you want. Follow the doctrines of religion, constantly censor one's actions, talk to people about religion, and form bonds. Religion follows faith more diligently once it begins to believe, and it is hard to quit. In that sense, I think it is somewhat in line with what Marx said.

Why is God in Christianity often portrayed as a male? Christianity says that when God first created the beginning, he made men first and made women using men's ribs. Describing women as being made through parts of a man's body, Christianity seems to think men are closer to a perfect human image than women. In Christianity, God seems to describe him as a man because he is a creature of perfection. Even if it deviates from the Bible, the times when Christianity first emerged were considered superior to men. I think it is the result of a metaphorical reflection of the times.

Can you think of other examples in how religion can be used to control people? An example is the most recent outbreak of corona in Sincheonji, Daegu. Despite the call for caution in Corona, a huge population of people gathered in Daegu to hold massive worship services, when many were infected with Corona, which has so far caused a backlash. Despite the warnings, Shincheonji ordered its followers to remain uncooperative in the investigation as much as possible to hide their status as Shincheonji, which took them a long time to identify their movements and examine whether or not they had a coronal disease.
