W 5.2 an introduction to sociology/religion ( Lee Seo Jun)

1) summary

Sociologists study religion in a way that tries to study different social systems. Attempts to understand religion include predicting what religion will eventually do, and sociologists use various methods to make these predictions successful. Especially in order to study these religions, we need to be neutral about right and wrong
An alternative and naturalistic explanation must be provided.

2) an interesting point

I became interested that Durkheim's definition of religion was the distinction between sacred and profane. It was interesting to use the word "to" as an example to describe the religion described for awe and respect, and to treat it as a toy by some people as a word "to" for Judaism

3) a point of discussion

Believing in religion is to help people live. If you start analyzing these religions, there may be differences in thoughts and conflicts among people who believe in other religions, so is it the right choice to study religion and try to characterize it?

    Answer that question, Religion is a complex phenomenon that encompasses people's beliefs, psychology, and moral values. Researching and characterizing religion can be carried out for various reasons and purposes. These studies can help understand and analyze religious phenomena to identify and explain social, cultural, and psychological effects. Religious studies are conducted for academic purposes and methods, and explore the characteristics, origins, development, social influence, and the meaning of religious beliefs and practices of religious phenomena. Through this, you can understand the impact of religion on society and understand the role and function of religion. It can also help you understand differences and conflicts between religions and find ways to coexist harmoniously. But studying and characterizing religion can always be controversial and conflict-prone. Religion has a profound influence on individual beliefs and identities, and views on this are diverse and personal. Scholars who study religion should try to maintain a neutral and objective perspective. To this end, it is important to observe academic methodologies and ethical principles, respect various perspectives and opinions, and continue the conversation in harmony. Therefore, researching and characterizing religion may be the right choice as a way of academic inquiry, but scholars should always conduct research based on strict academic approaches, mutual respect, and understanding.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRStfFOwcsM The video "What If The Dinosaurs Hadn't Died Off?" by AlternateHistoryHub explores a fascinating hypothetical scenario: what the world might look like if the dinosaurs had survived the catastrophic events that led to their extinction 66 million years ago. The video delves into various aspects of this alternate history, examining the potential impact on mammalian evolution, human development, and the planet's ecosystems. The video begins with a brief overview of the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event, which wiped out the dinosaurs and allowed mammals to become the dominant life forms on Earth. It then explores the possible consequences if this event had never occurred. The narrative is engaging, combining scientific knowledge with imaginative speculation to paint a vivid picture of an alternate Earth. One of the most intriguing points discussed is how the survival of dinosaurs might have affected mammalian evolution. Witho...

W9.1 Government

  1. Summarization      Government is like an umbrella term for a wide variety of institutions that make up the general control over a country. There are many different types of governments, with democracies, totalitarian regimes and everything in between. A type of government always has a ideal state, however in reality it often deviates. Basic political systems are autocracy, aristocracy, democracy, republics and federalism. Democracy can be either direct or indirect. In the indirect form, the people vote for representatives, who will then act on their behalf in making governing decisions. In a government, power can be divided into several functions. A commonly known model is called the 'trias politica'. The legislature, executive and judiciary powers are divided over several institutions. This is often applied to democracy as it ensures no one has the power to undermine the system. Sometimes a government works on the principle of a multiparty system. A party or a ...

Religion is "a unified system of beliefs and practices associated with sacred things, that is, separated and forbidden, beliefs and practices united into a single moral community called the Church, for all those who adhere to them". Religion can be broadly defined as a system of beliefs, values and practices that provide individuals with a sense of meaning and purpose in their lives. It is a fundamental aspect of human culture and has played an important role in shaping society throughout history. Sociologists are interested in understanding how religion influences social behavior, how it interacts with other social institutions, and how it shapes individual and group identity. 2.Interesting point Religion exists as an organized and integrated set of beliefs, behaviors, and norms centered on basic social needs and values.
