Blogging through Invitation to Sociology (2023)

1) Summary Demography is a study of the dynamics of human population, and it also studies how it changes due to population structure, size, distribution, birth and death of population, migration and aging. Demographics rely primarily on large datasets derived from census and registration statistics. Demographers focus on specific indicators of change because demographics are concerned with population changes. Demographic change is a model and theory that explains the shift from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates as part of a country's economic development. Urbanization also has many links to demography. Urbanization causes more and more people to leave villages and farms to live in the city, resulting in urban growth. People migrate to cities in search of economic opportunities. This shows the process of population density changing. 2) interesting point I read most interestingly about population growth and decline. The bad thing about overpopulation is that eve...

 1)Summary Technology is a collection of technologies, methods, and processes used to produce goods or services or achieve goals such as scientific research.  It mainly refers to knowledge that facilitates production, but technology products are also called technology because they facilitate the production of products or services or help achieve goals.An example of technology is a mobile phone. I used to use a pay phone, but these days each person carries one with them. The use of these mobile phones also changed social life. The reason is that people depend on cell-phones. 2)Interesting point The contents related to video games were interesting. Americans say about 68 percent play video or computer games in some way. These ratios also vary according to age and gender. First, 51.2% of high school students play the most games, and 76.3% of men play more games than women. Video games have pros and cons. The advantage of video games is that they improve visual attention. These th...

 1)Summary Race is a population group that is thought to be distinguished by physical differences. Race classification is classified into skin color and facial features. However, the concept of race is often controversial because social identity affects social classes. The controversy over how to understand race continues within the academic field. Some sociologists have stated that race is a social construct. They say race is an artificial distinction, not a natural one. Recently, there is a lot of rejection to use the word race, so many sociologists have recently replaced the word race rather than race. The biggest argument about race is that it is divided into skin colors such as white, black, and paldo. They say the best way to understand race is to recognize that socially constructed boundaries and biological/genetic elements are allocated. 2)Interesting point The content about prejudice and racism has come to me with the most interesting. Prejudice is to think that you will d...

 1.Summary In this article, social scientists introduce the components of the sex/gender system and explore how people understand the beliefs of sex/gender in their continued lives and the impact of these social structures on the larger social world. Sociologists say that they distinguish trans/sis people more than sex. A trans is a person who was born biologically designated as a woman, for example, but who wants to be a man/biologically designated as a man, but who wants to be a woman. Cis refers to people who were born biologically female and who want to remain female/biologically male and who want to remain male. And there are many differences between men and women. First of all, there are biological differences. Secondly, there are social and psychological differences. For example, it means that men tend to focus on the tasks they face, while women tend to focus more on personal relationships. In addition, there is gender discrimination that occurs due to different gender, and...

 1.Summary Social inequality occurs in the process of unequal distribution of social resources, such as power, religion, gender, age, and race. This inequality is seen in almost every society. Social inequality is also linked to income-related economic inequality. Because unequal distribution of economic resources also affects social status, it seems that economic factors have a significant impact on social inequality. Therefore, many societies around the world claim to be meritocratic societies. It is said that the poor lower class was created because of limited opportunities. This is because the working class is people in production and generally affects the national economic level. It is also said that globalization reduces the distance between time and space, creates a global interaction between culture, society, and social roles, and increases inequality worldwide. 2.Interesting point Among social inequalities, the content related to economic growth was the most interesting. T...

 1.Summary Social stratification is the grouping of people by various socioeconomic factors. The concept of social stratification is often interpreted as a different use within a particular theory. For example, supporters of behavior theory argued that social stratification is common in advanced societies and that ruling classes are needed to maintain social order and provide a stable social structure. However, if you tend to have political power, there is little possibility of socioeconomic development. Moreover, while stratification is not limited to complex societies, all complex societies exhibit the characteristics of stratification. 2.New point He learned new things about Marxist theory, and it is said that the method of production of Marxist theory consists of the foundation and superstructure, which are the main parts of the economy. According to Marx, social connections are determined by the relationship with the means of production. In all social classes, there are two ty...

 1.Summary Dramaturgy is a sociological perspective commonly used in micro-sociological explanations and concerns social interactions in everyday life. For example, it means introducing yourself to others. This theory suggests that an individual's identity is not a stable and independent psychological entity, but is constantly reconstructed through interaction with others. In addition, in the drama-tul miracle model, social interaction is analyzed in the way people live their lives like actors acting on stage. Such analyses demonstrate the concept of the same state as parts of the play. 2.Interesting point I first learned the theory of drama itself, and it became interesting to explain terms such as front stage, back stage, and off stage. In society, individuals must introduce themselves in a particular way. In society, people get attention when they deviate from the norm. Therefore, it is called the front stage to draw attention to people because they express their costumes in dif...

 1.Summary Symbolic interactionism is the special use of shared language by humans to create common symbols and meanings in sociological theories. The symbolic interaction was conceived by George Herbert Mead. Mead argued that people's egos are social products, but these egos are also purposeful and creative. Mead's influence in making these claims is so strong that sociologists see him as the true founder. And Mead says that society is where all these interactions take place, and that the general explanation of Mead's composition describes the external social structure, class, and power. And abuse affects self-development, and the personality of the gathering rejects it so that it can prove its ability to characterize itself. 2.New point Opinions on Herbert and other theorists were newly revealed. First, Herbert is a Mead student, interpreter and social constructor. He coined the term symbolic interaction and presented an influential summary. And he said that the most huma...

 1.Summary Social networks are social structures consisting of social actors, one-on-one relationships, and social interactions between actors. It is also a useful theoretical structure for social science to study relationships between individuals, organizational groups, and societies. Social networks are self-organized, creative and complex because they exhibit an overall consistent pattern in the local interaction of the elements that make up the system. This is said to become more apparent as the size of the network increases. For example, all interpersonal information may be lacking, and computing performance, ethics, recruiting and restrictions may also limit the scope of social network analysis. The quality of information is more important than the scale of understanding network attributes, because large-scale analyses can lose the nuance of the local system. Therefore, social networks are analyzed on a scale related to researchers' theoretical questions. 2.New point I learne...

1.Summary A social structure is a relationship between different individuals or groups, or a pattern of sustained and relatively stable relationships. It is also closely related to various central themes of social science, including the relationship between structure and actors. Examples of social structures include the concept of social stratification. Social stratification means that society is separated into multiple classes by social divisions such as race, class, disability, and gender. The concept of social structure is important because it explains how structural decisions occur. The earliest history of social structure is the patriarch. The comprehensive explanation was provided by Karl Marx, who associated politics, culture and religious life with the mode of production. 2.New point I learned new things about social structure being divided into micro-sociology/micro-structure and macro-sociology/macro-structure. First, microstructures can no longer be divided into the most bas...

 1.Summary This article deals with the theory of deviance used by sociologists, as well as current crime statistics. Deviations are divided into two types of behavior that violates cultural norms. The first is formal deviations that violate officially enacted laws. Examples of formal deviations include robbery, theft, murder, rape, and assault. The second is informal social norms, informal deviations that violate norms that are not codified by law. Examples of informal deviations include Kovbigi and Torm. Within the theory of deviance, the structural-functionalist approach argues that deviant behavior plays an important role in society for various reasons. These functions are said to be important functions to confirm the cultural values and norms of society for members of society. 2.Interesting point The content about labeling theory was interesting to me. Labeling theory is said to represent the idea that an individual deviates when adopting a label by applying abnormal labels or ...

1.Summary Socialization is a fundamental sociological concept composed of multiple elements. It should be further emphasized that socialization is a process that prepares humans to function in social life and is culturally relative. And other classes, such as other cultures, races, and genders, should not be forced to judge and should not be so. Also, although it is an important sociological process in the development of individuals who can function in human society, not all aspects of human behavior are learned, so it should be noted. Socialization is divided into primary and secondary. Primary socialization occurs in childhood and adolescence, and secondary socialization refers to lifelong socialization when meeting new groups that need additional socialization. Some scholars say that only one of these occurs, but most social scientists claim that both develop. A common way to explain the importance of socialization is to use the few unfortunate cases that have not been socialized by...

1. Summary - Government means an organized group that controls the country. Major modern political systems include democracy, monarchy, totalitarianism, and authoritarianism. Methods of gaining political power from the government include election competition and hereditary succession. This article also explains the history of government. In the early government, agriculture and water resource management played a role as a catalyst for the government's development. The tribal chiefs were reportedly elected by various ceremonies and tests of power. From the end of the 17th century, the form of a republic spread to the government, and after the fall of the Berlin Wall, liberal democracy expanded further. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the size and size of the government increased significantly, and the development of corporate regulations and welfare states increased. 2. New point -  I learned a new article about political science. In political science, it is said that the type of po...

 1)Summary Politics is a process in which many people make social and economic decisions. Political power is to allow the distribution of public resources to be managed. In government, authority is sometimes used in the same sense as power. However, sometimes it is used differently. Because authority means a claim to legality, legitimacy, and the right to exercise authority. Types of government include monarchy and democracy totalitarianism, oligarchy, and communist state new power. A political party is a political organization that campaigns to gain political power. And if you look at the analytical political graph, it is highly likely that women will vote for gender in general. Given the times, young people are much less likely to vote and less likely to become politicians than older people. And in general, minorities and minorities are less likely to vote in elections. Rich and well-educated people are also more likely to vote than those who are not. 2)Interesting point I've bee...

1) Summary Socioeconomic factors in environmental changes include deforestation, pollution and natural disasters. Deforestation removes animal habitats and cuts trees into soil erosion. Pollution is highly polluted by the sea, which provides negative nutrition to fish, causing food insecurity. Natural disasters are becoming increasingly serious as the environment changes. These destruction can affect the local economic system because it interferes with the flow of the entire community. They are affected by government policies and situational factors that adversely affect the environment. Human-environmental interaction creates a domino effect, and all socioeconomic systems are interconnected and have a global impact. The study of the social causes and effects of economic phenomena is called economic sociology. Economic sociology is said to be considered a field at the intersection of economics and sociology. 2) New point I learned something new about modern economics and sociology. Mod...

1. Summary Creating and distributing goods and services is a kind of economy. And as the economy develops, it is becoming a capitalist society. In a capitalist economy, income is said to vary mainly depending on what technology is required/supplied. Capitalism provides a major tool for industrialization in many places around the world. However, some criticize these capitalism, which critics say is related to unfair distribution. Examples of unfair things include market monopoly, economic inequality, social alienation, and unemployment. And then there's socialism, or communism. Examples of socialist countries include China, Laos and Vietnam in North Korea. Socialism is criticized for its lack of civil liberties and for its social control over the distribution of wealth and private property. 2. New point I learned the concept of Marxism in socialism, replacing capitalism, and the concept of the historical phase of communism. Socialism is characterized by the control of workers' m...

1. Summary Religious sociology is the study of urgency, practice, and organizational forms using sociological methods. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Emil Durchem and Max Weber explained theories about religious sociology. First of all, Emil Durchem argued that he was positivist and that religion was an expression of unity. And the religious system is increasingly focused on individual salvation and conscience. Conversely, Max Weber published his paper through economic sociology, not positivism. He argued that religious acts themselves should be understood in terms, saying religion shapes an individual's view of the world. The text also describes the sociological classification of religious movements. Among sociologists, religious groups are divided into sects, sects, and cults. Sections are attractive to the weak in society, and cults are said to be highly tense because they are religious movements that focus on supernatural phenomena. 2.New point I found the contents ...

1. Summary The definition of religion is defined differently depending on the question you are asking. The most famous of these is Emile Durkheim's claim that it depends on the distinction between sacred and secular. This is very extensive, but can include substantial elements of social life. Another definition defines religion by asking existential questions that serve a particular purpose of society. Finally, defining religion in a socioscientific way. If you don't believe in God, you can claim to include atheists, but it is explained in association with Supernatural that faith and consciousness are seen as excluding atheists who are understood to be shared by groups. Types of religin include churches, denominations, sects, and cults. 2. New point I learned anew that Islam Christian Buddhism is a cult-derived religious group. A cult is a religious group that embraces new things and is guided by charismatic leaders. It also emphasizes peace between individuals and individuals ...

1. Summary The free cultural movement is not to compensate the original producer of the creation, but to allow it to be freely distributed and modified. The movement argues that excessive copyright laws hinder creativity. The organization associated with free culture is Creative Commons (cc), which emphasizes the economic, artistic and social damage caused by the distribution monopoly and allows it to be freely distributed. The free cultural movement expanded from the field of software to all cultural and creative work. The free music movement, part of the free culture, began in early 1994 with the popularity of the web in free music philosophy and tried to encourage the spread of unlimited reproduction. 2. Interesting point I took it for granted that the creation was not allowed as an individual's, but it was interesting that there was a backlash against it. Knowing that each person has a different perspective, the position that copyrights should be protected was solid, but if all...

 1.Summary Culture is closely related to humans. It also affects human evolution. They also feel a sense of belonging through their group actions. These cultural elements can also easily spread to other groups. A culture that so many people use is called popular culture. Conversely, elite high-end culture contrasts with popular culture. And there are subcultures that only a few people use, anti-cultures that challenge or contradict major cultures. It is a group of individuals who think that subordinate cultures and anti-cultures have been ignored in society, and they sometimes show their membership through their unique and symbolic style. This article also explains cultural changes. Reasons for cultural change may include changes in the environment, inventions of something, or contact with other cultures. However, these changes are not only bad, but also good ways to go. 2. New point It was good that I was able to learn new things about the origin of culture. Culture can also expla...
