 This week, I learned about "Socialization and social control & Social interaction". Socialization is a kind of expectation. It is encourages people to participate in society. Society exists because of socialization. I think that socialization is needed to live with many people. But socialization also can be prejudice. For example, as the professor questioned to us, "color pink is associated with girls, why?" This question is about socialization. The parents have socialized stereotype for color and they pressure their cild. I think these phenomona is incorrect.

 

 

Topic1 : Can we think of other ways the society tells us how different things are expected from boys and girls?

 

 

 Korea was influenced by the Confucial culture. So, there are so many different expectation for boys and girls. From old times, Korean people often say a man should cry only three times in his life : when he is born, when his parents die and when he loses his country. As appers by this sentence, elders rebuke a boy or man when he cry since childhood.

 Like this, elders pressure feminineness to girl and lady. These saying, attitudes, traditions and custom denigrate manhood of women. Women were forced to carefulness of conduct. For example, girl was told playing with dolls than playing with balls.

 

Topic2 : What's the meaning of  ?

 

 Yellow ribbons and hand-written messages at a memorial for the victims of the sinking of the ferry Sewol.

 The "yellow ribbon" campaign gives console to the families of the students and other victims. This campaign was started voluntarily by citizens. The yellow ribbons have the meaning of coming alive.
 And in this case, this is dedicted to the memory of the deceased. This tragedy never happen again.
 We need to keep this disaster in mind and to learn proper safety measures in dangerous situation.
