lecture review 이인재 Lee In Jae

Topic 1. Can we think of other ways the society tells us how different things are expected from boys and girls?

Society evaluating ways and requiring things are different to boys and girls.

For example, Society require brave and upright man. Boy should make money for family. By contrast. Society require neat, soft and feminine girls. Infant care and household affair are naturally accepted as girls’ share. And society evaluating way is different to boys and girls. For example ability is more important than appearance to boys. But appearance is more important than ability to girls.

 

Topic 2. Color pink is associated with girls, why?

I think this question has many meanings. ‘Why we take anything for granted?’ The reason why the color pink is associated with girls is social structure that take the old generation thinking for granted. Babies are born as blank paper. They don’t know virile color and feminine color. When they grow, they are influenced by the people who decide pink is feminine. And they take pink feminine color for granted. If somebody decide blue is feminine color, we think blue is feminine color. We take the old generation thinking for granted. Maybe the question that the reason why color pink is associated with girls ultimate question is’ Why we take anything for granted?’ We unconsciously accept something like inequality, right and responsibility.  We must live our society with idea that WE MUST NOT TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED!

Negative idea about overemphaszing socialization

I have negative thinking about socialization. Socialization is need for social bonds that bring people together in a given society and integration that combine groups into a larger entity. But overemphaszing socialization can lead desperate thing. We may find our meaning of existence only in society and be slave of society. The most important thing is establishing ego identity by ourselves. But overemphasize socialization can lead reversing importance. The order should be this way. First, find ego identity by oneself and then we should be socialization.
