what is sociology? 2 장근서 (Jang Geun Seo)

 This week's class, I learn about Sociology's capacity. And learn how Sociology associate with other scholarship.


topic1. what is more important - our genes or our environment?

I think the environment around us have greater influence than genes. Of course, we can't just ignore our genes. Gene decides our skin colors, height and so many more. But why environment is more important than genes? Because environment can change us. Here is good example for this topic, Identical twins that grew up in a different environment. They have the same gene, but the appearance of each other is very different. Because, their eating habits, exercise, because as many of those occupations, grew up in other environments.



topic2. can you think of examples of charismatic, traditional and rational-regal leaders or governments in the history of your own country?

General Yi Sun-sin as a Korean naval commander, famed for his victories against the Japanese navy during the Imjin war in the Joseon Dynasty, and is well-respected for his exemplary conduct on and off the battlefield not only by Koreans, but by Japanese Admirals as well. He provides excellent leadership . Despite it's very poor environment compared to the Japanese military, He led the war to victory. His soldier believe General YI's ability and leadership, so they fought valor.

  1. I agree with the idea the environment around us have greater influence than genes. You said the reason that environment is more important than gene because environment can change us. But also I think gene can change us. The gene changed by environment is based other environmental factors that changing gene. I think environment and gene influence on each other. Through this repeated influence, change occur.
