1.summary

In sociology, genders are divided into cultural and social factors, and sex is divided by genetic and biological factors.

Cis is a person who has the same gender as the biologically innate Sex, and trans is a conform people who follow another Sex than the biologically innate Sex.

A person has one of two genders after birth: a woman and a man. However, this is inconsistent with the biological realities of real people and does not reflect all diversity. (Like intersex, trans..) But it's obvious that there are physiological differences between women and men.

Due to gender differences, there are various discriminations, and the scope is revealed in various fields such as wages, work, and status. In the process of reducing such discrimination, care should be taken not to reverse discrimination.

2. Interesting points

Gender is a socially constructed concept, shaped by certain cultural and social factors. Society gives different expectations and roles to women and men, which can lead to social discrimination and gender role norms. These social roles affect the formation of individual self-identity and gender identity, and many sociological studies are being conducted on gender-related topics.

3. Expression

What other gender discrimination exists around us now?

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...
