W8.2- Introduction to Sociology/Politics-LUAN QIANYUE

 1. Summary

Politics is a struggle for power - power over access to and distribution of resources, power over individual and collective status, and power over the ability to define legitimate categories of ideas. It is concerned with the organization and operation of political power, the study of the laws of political phenomena and the motives of political behavior, the exploration of political systems, political culture, and political change, and helps people understand political phenomena and political problems, and then proposes solutions for policy and governance.

2.Interesting point

In political science, the types of government can be summarized and generalized according to different classification criteria. Democratic government, monarchical government, republican government, federalism, centralized government, oligarchy, and theocracy. The classification of government types can be distinguished not only according to political forms and institutions, but can also be generalized and analyzed according to factors such as government functions and political performance. The purpose of the study of government types in political science is to gain a deeper understanding of the nature and characteristics of government, and to provide reference and reference for political decision-making and governance.

    In order to increase the participation rate of politics, we are looking for ways to make it easier for citizens to access politics. Most citizens are citizens who do not understand politics well. As I don't know much about politics, I become indifferent to politics, and I think that's what leads to a decline in political participation.

    Encouraging people to engage in political participation activities is the key to a constructive and democratic society. I believe that:
    1. provide education on political participation 2. create an inclusive political environment 3. develop policies to support political participation 4. provide incentives and rewards

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...

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...
