Blogging through Invitation to Sociology (2023)

1. Summary  Demographics is the study of demographic dynamics, and demographic analysis can relate to small groups defined by criteria such as society as a whole or education and ethnicity. Demographics are necessary to explain sociological phenomena on a macro and/or social level. Demographic analysis is a powerful tool for explaining many sociological phenomena. Demographics rely primarily on census and huge datasets derived from registration statistics such as birth, death and marriage registration. Developing demographic trends requires large datasets over time. It remains difficult to collect reliable demographic data in many countries, especially developing countries.   2. Interesting point    It was interesting that the world's population, including Korea, is still on the verge of population decline due to low birthrates and aging, along with the prediction that food in Mersus will increase exponentially and poverty due to overpopulation. It was also rea...

1. Summary  Social networks are social structures consisting of social sciences through collections of social actors, cheap solidarity sets and other social interactions between actors, and are useful theories for studying relationships between individuals, groups, organizations or societies. The social network perspective provides a variety of theories explaining how to analyze the structure of the entire social entity and the patterns observed there. Social network analysis is one of the main paradigms of modern sociology and is also used in other social and formal sciences. It is used in a variety of fields from art to communication, community, crime, demographics, health care, social media, linguistics and literature.   2. Interesting point  I was surprised that social network analysis is really being used in many different areas. I've always thought that social network service analysis is only available on social media, but I found it strange that it's being used...

1. Summary   Technology is a collection of methods or processes used to achieve objectives such as the production or scientific investigation of goods or services. A typical example is a mobile phone. Cell-phones have led to changes in social customs, and informal social norms have developed around the use of cell-phones in public situations. There is also criticism that social networks, which many people mainly use on their phones, offer many advantages such as discovering business networks and no space-time constraints, but provide the potential to cause controversy in individual lives. This is because people who post these possible photos are usually not alienated from the social group. There have also been criticisms of gender inequality and worsening academic performance within social networks.   2. Interesting point  I was surprised to see that he showed a much higher level of anxiety than when he was allowed to use the iPhone during over-delivery when he separa...

1. Summary   Race biologically classifies humans based on morphological characteristics such as skin color and facial features. They are usually classified by the outside world rather than by their own choice. This separation of races began in Goja Egypt, and scientific attempts were made in the 17th century. The debate about understanding race continues, and some sociologists and biologists believe it is a social construct that race is an artificial distinction made by humans. This social constructivist approach does not block other perspectives. To understand race, we must recognize that socially constructed boundaries overlap with biological and genetic elements and combine approaches. These races play an important role in world society and are also the basis for other types of stratification, such as pollution and marriage.   2. Interesting point    It was interesting that racism could not only go to a few people, but also to a large number of people. Com...

  1. Summary Sociologists distinguish sex from sex. Gender is a term for social sex, which refers to the social position recognized or projected by individuals within the culturally established designation of male and female behavior. However, gender, like sex, can be fluid and changeable. Last name usually refers to the assignment of individuals to categories that are based on genetic and biological factors. These sex and gender can be further subdivided into cis and trans. In addition to the socially constructed differences between men and women, there are also biological and social and psychological differences, which can affect work, occupation, and education.   2. Interesting point I knew the concept of gender and gender division, but I didn't know that gender was distinguished again by cis and trans, so it was interesting that gender could be distinguished further by cis and trans. I've always thought that it can be divided into two categories: ordinary people and ...

1. Summary  Social inequality occurs when the resources of a given society are distributed unevenly. Social inequality is usually associated with economic inequality, such as unequal distribution of income and wealth. In addition to economic inequality, social and natural resources are also distributed inequally. Social inequality is found in almost all societies and classified into egalitarian, class and stratified societies. Social inequality can also be divided into five types: wealth inequality, inequality in treatment and responsibility, political inequality, inequality in living, and inequality in membership. Inequality is influenced by many socially defined characteristics of an individual, such as social status, race, and class   2. Interseting point  The most impressive part was the inequality and economic growth. The hypothesis that economic inequality, which was the mainstay of liberal economic theory, was an essential prerequisite for economic growth was v...

1. Summary    Social structure refers to an ongoing relationship or bond between individuals or groups of individuals. Family, religion, economics, and social classes are all social structures, and social structures affect important social systems. Social structure can be largely divided into micro-sociology micro-structure, which is a pattern of relationships between individuals, and macro-sociology macro-structure, which is a pattern of relationships between objects with their own structure. Sociologists also distinguish normative structures from ideal structures, interest structures, and interaction structures. The concept of social structure consists of many identifiable subvariables, such as gender, which can conceal systematic bias. Modern social structural analysis considers this, but analytical problems remain about combining various aspects of social life into one.     2. Interesting point  It was interesting that human behavior in the concept...

  1. Summary  Socialization refers to the process in which humans learn how to function in a particular society through social interaction. Socialization can be divided into primary socialization that occurs in a society that naturally belongs to the family and secondary socialization that occurs in institutions such as schools. The importance of socialization is explained in the case of children who have grown up through deliberate abuse or children who have grown up in the wild. They seem to lack basic social skills and have mental problems. Socialization has a variety of theoretical understanding. Symbolic interactionism, role theory, reinforcement theory, and internalization theory are representative. These socialization theories are culturally very relative, and can be re-socialized by environments that are perceived as normal or abnormal depending on how they are socialized in a particular society and exposed.   2. Interesting point   It was interesting ...
