W6.2 Introduction to Sociology/Economy

1) Summarize

The data begins with the story of a collective human struggle to thrive as well as survive, along with the story of the cooperation agreement, Molokai. 

They talking about capitalism, and I'm introducing how capitalism works. Capitalism is said to have developed from the interaction of the items "goods, money, labor, means of production, and production." This time, we will talk about how the market has developed and changed based on the opinions of sociologists we saw in the reading material last time. I learned society from an economic point of view.

Following capitalism, he also mentioned socialism. Socialism advocates criticize capitalist society and say that social inequality can be solved through socialism. Unlike capitalism, which owns individual assets, in socialism, everyone tries to create an equal society by sharing assets fairly.

2) Interesting point

Whether it is capitalism or socialism, I think there will be criticism in the end. The various criticisms of sociologists in the reading material were impressive. In particular, it was interesting to argue that socialism, which was advocated for citizens' equality, may rather have limitations that violate citizens' freedom and take away ownership. After all, society was a contradiction. Sociologists continue to create theories about society and come up with new social features for the citizens and for themselves, but society is always incomplete and contradictory.       

3) Question

Which do you think is more for citizens, capitalism or socialism?

    I think capitalism would be better for citizens. The reason I thought so was that socialism was so ideal that it was difficult to actually realize it according to its ideas, so I thought that more realistic capitalism would be more likely to be realized according to the ideology of capitalism, which would benefit citizens.

Science & Futurism with Isaac 2_extra credit

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...

Extra credit—Examples of values that have been commodified

Commodification of wood carving In fact, the situation described above is a thing of the past. It's not completely changed, but there are a few exceptions now with the penetration of the monetary economy. These changes, presumably, began in the 1960s, when farmers in Zafimaniri began selling crafts. The artefacts were originally purchased by Catholic priests in France to minimize food shortages during bad harvests. Also, around the same time, the museum affiliated with the Antananarivo University, Madagascar's largest institution of higher learning, began collecting specimens from all over Madagascar, and the "folk arts" inherited from the mountains were also extensively collected. As a result, the exquisite wood carvings of Zafimaniri were first recognized overseas and later by the wealthy class in China. The penetration of monetary economy has brought the following effects to the production of wood carving. 1. Before the beginning of professional commercialization, ...

W5.2- Introduction to Sociology/Religion-LUAN QIANYUE

 1.Summary The sociologist Émile Durkheim described it by saying that it consists of "things beyond the limits of our knowledge". 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. It typically inc...
