1. Summary  Deviation is any act that violates cultural norms. Deviation is often divided into two types of deviant activity. First, crime is said to be a violation of formally enacted laws and a formality. Class II deviant acts refer to informal social norms, violations of norms not codified by law, and informal deviant behavior. Deviation can vary considerably from culture to culture. If norms are relative, deviations are relative. The theory of deviance includes psychology and biological explanation, social-layer typology, Mertons social transformation theory, structural-functionalism, conflict theory and labeling theory. Crime statistics do not provide a perfect perspective on crime. In particular, the unrealistic image of television makes the public think that crime is more pervasive than it really is. 2. Interesting  It was impressive that deviation was not only a crime but also an act of social antagonism. Also, it was nice to see again the theory that the media ...

1. Summary  The three goals of socialization are to prepare and perform roles, including impulse control and the development of conscience, professional role, gender role, marriage, parent, etc., to cultivate meaningful sources, or to be important, valuable, and to live on. Socialization is a process of life, but it is generally divided into two parts: primary socialization occurs in childhood and early adolescence. Secondary socialization refers to socialization that takes place throughout one's life in childhood or meeting new groups that need further socialization. Arnett was rarely used in the type of socialization but suggested something interesting but distinct. Extensive socialization is to promote independence, individualism and self-assertion, and narrow socialization is to promote obedience and conformity. Not all socialization is voluntary and not all socialization succeeds. There are elements of society specifically designed to re-socialize individuals who have not b...

1. Summary  A government is a system that governs a state or community. Although the time and place of human government's development have disappeared in time, history records the form of early government. About 5,000 years ago, the first small urban states appeared. The development of agriculture and water management projects has been a catalyst for government development. As the agrarian population gathered in larger, denser communities, interactions between different groups increased and social pressures suddenly appeared with a new level of complexity, strikingly parallel to star formation. Since the end of the 17th century, the republican style of government has increased. In the 19th and 20th centuries, there was a significant increase in the size and scale of government at the national level. Since the typology of the political system is not clear in politics, the goal has long been to create a typology or taxonomy of policy. Autocracy is a government system in which the h...

1.Summary  Politics is the process in which groups of people make social and economic decisions. Political power is a kind of power held by a group of societies that allows the group to manage the distribution of public resources, including labor and wealth. The first type that Weber discussed is Rational-legal authority. It is a form of authority that relies on its legitimacy, usually recorded and often very complex formal rules and established laws of the state. The second type of authority is traditional authority, which derives from old customs, habits and social structures. The third form of authority is charismatic authority. Here, the charisma of an individual or leader plays an important role. Charismatic authority refers to a gift of grace, authority derived from the power of character, or authority that comes when a leader claims his authority originated from a "high power" (e.g., God) that is superior to both traditional authority and the validity of rational-le...

 Korea is now facing a huge change. In "The Economist's Special Report on Korea," K-POP, regime change, feminism flow, and covid-19 are examples. I would like to delve deeper into feminism among these.  Korea's current feminism began with the "Gangnam Station Murder Case." The Gangnam Station murder case was an incident in which a man killed a woman passing by, and was officially classified as an unsolicited murder (incidental murder without a reason). But the assailant said he killed the victim because she was a woman, and claims began to spread that this was a hate crime, not an unsolicited murder. However, the National Police Agency closed the case with an unsolicited murder, and many women resented it. Since this incident, many women have been exposed to feminism, and a feminist craze has begun in Korea. Of course, there is a reaction to this. The Internet community has become extreme, and social conflicts have arisen between feminists and anti-femini...

1. Summary  Socioeconomics is a social science that studies how economic activities affect, and is shaped by social processes. Socioecomics is also used as a generic term for various areas of inquiry. The term "socioconomics" can be broadly referred to as "the use of economics in social research." In a narrower sense, modern practices take into account the behavioral interactions and social norms of individuals and groups through social capital and social "market" and the formation of social norms. Regional socioeconomic systems refer to the way socioeconomic factors affect each other in communities and households. These systems have a great impact on the environment through deforestation, pollution, natural disasters, and energy production and use. Deforestation in Pakistan is a major cause of environmental change. Deforestation can be attributed to population growth, changes in household dynamics and resource management. Marine pollution has affected ...

1. Summary  Economic sociology is the study of social causes and effects of various economic phenomena. Classical economics and sociology emerged as a new approach to the analysis of economic phenomena. This especially emphasizes the role of the economic structure and system that works on society, and the influence of a society on the nature of the economic structure and system. Modern economic sociology is particularly focused on the social consequences of economic exchanges, the social implications that the consequences entail, and the social interactions they promote or hinder. New economics and sociology is the main methodology for studying this phenomenon by analyzing social networks. Modern Marxist ideas have focused on the social implications of capitalism and the economic development within the system of economic relations that produce them. 2. Interesting  I only knew the existence of economics, but I learned the existence of economic sociology through this art...

1. Summary  Economy is the way people use the environment to meet their material needs. It includes the production, exchange, distribution and consumption of goods and services in the region. A given economy is the final result of a process that includes not only technological evolution, history and social organization, but also geography, natural resource supply and ecosystem. The first economist in the true meaning of the word is Scottish Adam Smith (1723-1790). He defined the elements of the national economy: products are offered at natural prices generated by competition, the use of supply and demand, and the separation of labor. Capitalism is an economic and social system in which non-labor elements or means of production are privately controlled, labor, goods and capital are traded in the market, profits are taken by the owner or invested in technology and industry, wages are paid to labor. The economics of capitalism developed from the interaction of the following five it...

1. Summary  Sociology of religion is the study of religious beliefs, practices and organizational forms using the tools and methods of discipline in sociology. This is distinguished from religious philosophy in that it is not intended to assess the validity of religious beliefs. According to Kevin J. Cristiano and others, "Marx was the product of Enlightenment that embraced the need to replace faith by reason and religion by science." The center of Marx's theory was the oppressive economic situation. Marx argued that religion appeases proletariat and dulls the sense of the pain of oppression. Emil Dirkheim means that he thinks studying society is cool and scientific, putting himself in empirical tradition, and religion is an expression of social cohesion, he argued. Durkheim's definition of religion is as follows: "Religion is a unified system of beliefs and customs that combines something sacred, something separate and forbidden, into a single moral community...

1. Summary  Sociologists study religion in the same way they study other social institutions, such as education and government. The best-known definition of religion is that the definition of religion depends on the distinction between divinity and profane. A second definition of religion among social scientists was the substitution of religion for existential questions. This definition casts religion from a functional perspective as it is seen as contributing to a specific purpose in society. A third sociological definition sees religion as the collective faith and consciousness of the supernatural-related group. The first type of religion is the church. Church classifications describe a religion that implies everything about religious expression in a society. It claims universality, includes all members of society belonging to the class, and tends to equate "citizenship" with "membership." Also, the church exercises religious monopoly rights and tries to elimin...

 I think that globalization has lowered the cultural barrier. An example is a chicken store in Korea. Although chicken is not originally a traditional Korean cultural food, it became popular as it was introduced into the country due to globalization. As a result, it was said that there were more chicken spots in Korea than McDonald's branches around the world as a joke. In addition to Korean chicken, there are mixed cultures of various countries in the world.

1. Summary  Free culture movement is a social movement that promotes freedom to distribute and modify other people's creations in the form of free or open content using the Internet and other forms of media. The Free Culture Movement embraces the ideals of the free and open software movement and expands it to all cultural and creative works in the software field. In the late 1960s, Stewart Brand established a global catalog and claimed that technology could be liberated rather than suppressed. In 1998, the U.S. Congress passed the Sony Bono Copyright Period Extension Act, which extended copyright protection by another 20 years to 70 years after the creator's death. The bill is also called the Mickey Mouse Protection Act because it has been heavily lobbied by music and film companies like Disney. Lesig argued that copyright is an obstacle to cultural production, knowledge sharing and technological innovation, and that private interests, unlike the public interest, determine t...

1. Summary  Culture is the non-biological or social aspect of human life, and basically all that humans learn is part of culture. Culture generally encompasses stories, beliefs, media, ideas, works of art, religious practice, fashion, consciousness, expertise and common sense culture, the meaning given to objects and symbols, and norms, values and beliefs that permeate social life. In the past, culture referred to elite goods and activities. This is called a higher culture. In the Romantic era, German scholars, particularly interested in nationalism, developed a more comprehensive concept of culture as a worldview. By the late 19th century, anthropologists had changed the concept of culture to include more diverse societies, and ultimately created the concept of current culture. Subculture is a culture shared and actively participated by ethnic minorities within a broader culture. Culture often includes numerous subculture. Subculture brings together the same-minded people who ...

1. Summary  Sociology theories are made by sociologists to explain social phenomena. This article explains the middle theory among sociological theories. The intermediate theories described are structural functionalism, concrete theory, symbolic interactionism, role theory, feminist story, integration theory. Structural functionalism is a theory that identifies society as a complex system for promoting internal solidarity and stability. This theory looks at society from a macro point of view and argues that society has evolved like an organism. Conflict theory argues that it is more appropriate for society to explain it as conflict than harmony and consensus, as opposed to structural functionalism. Symbolic interactionism is a theory that claims that because humans have autonomy, social phenomena occur as a result of daily interactions among individuals. In this theory, human beings act according to their own subject, not according to their own social rules, and the meaning of t...

source:  https://www.dailyinfographic.com/why-the-gender-gap-is-a-global-problem  I think our society is still unequal, although the gender equality index is higher than in the past. I think that gender roles are still culturally stubborn and women are particularly economically unequal. According to OECD statistics on gender wage disparity, the wage gap is especially wide in Korea. There are career cuts and glass ceiling problems at the extension of this wage gap problem. In the case of women, the average wage is sharply lower for certain age groups when they are married because giving birth cannot continue their careers. This has a direct effect on the falling proportion of women as they move up to higher positions, namely the glass ceiling phenomenon. This is not just about limiting women's lives. This inequality has an adverse effect on both women and men. Men feel burdened that they are solely responsible for economic affairs because of the gender wage gap. In the...

1. Summary  Scientific methods refer to the process of revealing principles based on experience and measurement when studying a phenomenon. The scientific method was first used by the directness of light test by ibn al-Haytham in 1021. The feature of this is that it draws inductive conclusions. Therefore, there is always the possibility that it will be modified or discarded. Elements of scientific methods include characterization, hypothesis setting, prediction, and experimentation. Scientific methods proceed as follows: problem definition, information and data collection, hypothesis setting, experiment, data analysis, hypothesis assessment, result presentation, experiment repetition. 2. Interesting  The scientific method seems to have broken one mold in that it is not only used in the natural sciences, but also in the social sciences. If scientific methods are needed for social science research, I think they will be used mainly for quantitative research. The ...

1. Summary  Sociologists use a variety of methods to conduct sociological research. A prime example is the scientific method. This method contributes to scientific investigation and the acquisition of new knowledge based on verifiable evidence. Besides physical science, there is also knowledge of variables and relationships in sociology. Use deductive reasoning and quantitative approaches to measure this. This method is often called positivism. On the other hand, qualitative sociologists use inductive inferences that repeatedly observe phenomena, and focus on understanding rather than developing theories. Max Weber called it "Verstehen." Scientific methods are carried out through characterization, hypothesis development, prediction, experimentation, evaluation and repetition. 2. Interesting  It was interesting to understand the same social phenomena in many ways. Qualitative and quantitative research were learned in high school, and I was also glad to meet the terms I ...

 Many scholars have argued that labor does not simply have an economic meaning I also think that labor should include various productive meanings, such as self-realization and social cohesion. In modern society, however, labor has degenerated into just painful but tolerable activity for money. The 'retirement trend' proves this. People abhor labor that makes them suffer, and few workers will feel happy through their works. But workers don't just quit and give up labor, they find jobs that will enable self-realization. This phenomenon, in which Retired people loathe labor but continue to seek true labor, proves that labor is not only an economic meaning but an essential element of life as a human being.

1. Summary The data is about how sociology majors use what they have learned. Education in sociology is also available outside academia. Through analyzing trends in society, interpersonal communication, statistical ability and so on, one can make great contributions to one's profession. In some cases, they go to graduate school to get a job, or they minor in business administration. There is also evidence that sociology graduates are more satisfied with their jobs after graduation, it said. A sociologist may work for an Non-Governmental Organizations. This is because Non-Governmental Organizations are interested in the social problems. In addition, sociologists may be more diligent in sociology and earn their PhD to take the path of scholars. 2.Interesting I was vague about my career as a student of sociology, and I was very anxious. I think positively that the sociologists in this document are open to various possibilities, although the specific circumstances may differ fro...

1. Summary  Sociology is an area of social science that uses systematic methods of empirical research and critical analysis to develop and refine the instrument of knowledge about human social structure and activities, with the aim of applying knowledge to the pursuit of government policies designed to help general social welfare. This is divided into micro-social studies and macro-social studies. Micro-social studies value the study of human interaction and macro-social studies of society as a whole. Sociology includes both qualitative and quantitative research techniques. Also, society has changed all the time, but it does not have a simple flow of growth or backwardness. Mills argued that people need quality of mind, and that sociological imagination allows owners to understand greater historical scenes about an individual's life. 2. Interesting Reading this article, I remembered the theory of circulation and social evolution I learned in high school. The flow of society ...
