Stratification - Byoung-Hyun Chun(천병헌)

Main Topic : Stratification

  • Name : Chun Byoung-Hyun(천병헌)

  • Date : April 27~28th. 2015

Intro

 This week, I learned about 'Social Stratification'. During high school, I have learned social stratification in the society class. In the society class of high school, it was difficult to understand because I learned to abstract. However, through this lecture, I was able to specifically understand the social stratification. Social stratification is affected by each countries, various race, gender and so on. I think that this lecture theme is interesting. Particularly, the most interesting things are 'Gini coefficient' and  'Genocide'.

Interesting content of lecture

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gini_coefficient
1.Gini coefficient(지니계수)
 I think that inequality is only measured by a sociologist and economist. But, I have realized that income/wealth stratification can be measured using the Gini coefficient. If we look at the Gini coefficient, a fully equal society, the Gini coefficient shows the straight line in graph. On the other hand, in an unequal society, this is different.
Gini coefficient of income distribution around the world is different for each country. The more Gini coefficient degree is high, the less society is equal. Mainly, the high number of in developed countries such as China, US. Although Gini coefficient is a high, everything is not unfair.
Thus, I think that Gini coefficient is somewhat relative and changes by the given situation.


2. Genocide(집단 학살)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocide
I think that Genocide intentionally destroys the ethnic, tribal, racial, religious groups and so on. Genocide is very frightening. However, in the modern era, genocide is being carried out. Genocide should prohibit in ethical and democratic aspect. Let`s examine the examples of genocide.

ex) Genocide in Rwanda(르완다 집단 학살)
Hutu tribe and Tutsi tribe migrated to Rwanda. they consisted of most people in Rwanda. Tutsi is a tribe which raised animals. on the other hand, Hutu is a tribe which did farming. Hutu overwhelmed Tutsi in number of people but Tutsi succeeded dominating Rwanda because of their much wealth. Their difference and stratification are getting bigger in social status and wealth. At the end, Hutu tribe killed Tutsi tribe people and 75% of Tutsi tribe was eliminated for 100 days. Like this, genocide is still frequently occur in a modern society.

Topic 1 : Should Korean government do more to reduce poverty and promote equality?

 At first, I think that Korean government must provide specific welfare policies for the poor people. Through the economic and technical development, Korean society have achieved the economic power of the world 11th. However, it is very different in practice. Gap between the rich and the poor is becoming increasingly large. Particularly, poor people have become increasingly poorer. For these poor people, first, the government is to pay pregnancy incentives every year to the parent that lays a lot of childern. Giving a pregnancy incentives to parents to lay a lot of childern, it can be reduced between the rich and the poor of the gap a little.
At second, In order to promote equality, government must strive to be able to people actively participate  in national institutions. By participating in the national institutions, it is possible to get a chance to speak clearly their opinion. For example, Hearing, petition, civil organization and so on...
Thus, I think that the role of the government to reduce poverty and inequality is important.

 

Topic2 : What is the function of stratification?

I think that stratification has positive function and negative function. However, I was focused on negative function. Stratification is used as a tool to justify the power of authority. For example, in Korean society, if we look at the figure of the general company, it is organized in a vertical relationship(ex. president, secretary, worker and so on...). In general, Stratification is effective to increase the productivity. This is because are distributed the role according to their ability. However, stratification create a sense of alienation and substance-centricity. Ultimately, it is intended that the productivity decreases, the company would be economically difficult. Like this, stratification is like a coin of two sides.

Thank you for reading!!!


Startification - Kim jinwoo(김진우)

In class, I learn Gerhard Lenski. Gerhard Lenski argued mobilization people is possible through progressive taxation. Progressive tax is getting more tax for rich.Because rich have enormous money.
This tax use for poor people or welfare. This taxation is for fairness.

This arguement is talked by many celebrities. For example, Bill Gates argued rich had to pay more proportion tax. Because they had enormous money and lower taax rate. How paradoxical is rich pay lower tax rate than poor people.

About Social Status

Social status is the honor or prestige attached to one's position in society. Society have many social status. For example, students, professor and parent is all social status. Functionalist argue social status maintained social integration. Society give and expect role in each social status. There are also a role ranking. And there are the discrepancies in role ranking. It promote people fag in society in functionalist opinion. 
 Contrariwise, conflict theory argue social status is all same. There aren't a role ranking. If there are different between social status, it will happen conflict and revolution. Also rich or politician justify a role ranking in conflict theory. It will maintain society they have power and capital. 

What is a sciology? 8 - 이채현 (Lee chae hyeon)

 



We learned about stratification, racial and ethnic strtification. Stratification means structuring of society by level of command over resources like wealth, power and prestige. Karl Marx thinks that hierarchy is two class, the proletariat and the bourgeoisie. Our society are stratified hierarchically by social status. Type of poverty : absolute poverty and relative poverty. Ethnicity is the set of cultural, racial differences. Race&ethnicity are primarily social, not biological. Genocide is an attempt to exterminate an ethnicity from a society. Ethnicity cleansing is a systematice attempt to expel an ethnicity from a society.




Should Korean government do more to reduce poverty and promote equality?


I think that first Korean government should find a cause of poverty. I think that a reason of poverty is in individual. Of course, it is also  in social system. But individual problem is first. Government should promote wildcat to work. Government can find problems of individual factor. In poverty, people keep up with others. They already lag behind in their work. So, Government should support this through social system. They can't do this themselves. They need to help overcome poverty. But if government helps people about  poverty, it is dislocated in equality. I think that absolute equality don't exist. So the maximum amount of equality must pursue. Government can't satisfy everyone. But to promote equality, the rich shouldn't make a loss.



What is the function of stratification?


​​First, I think that stratification makes us do our best. To ascend for high class, we effort more hardly. If stratification is fixed stratification, it can be impossible. But in modern society, class can be vertical ascent. So if we effort, we move to high class we want. Second, stratification maintatin social order. Stratification stabilizes society.

Genocide in Modern - Yang Hyun(양 현) 2015. 4. 30.


Genocide in Modern Society.
 
We learnt genocide in history on 4. 28 Tuesday and also learnt genocide in World War 2. So i'm going to suggest some genocide after World War 2.
I refer to translated book “Cruel World history Scar that Genocide gave to civilized society”(“잔혹한 세계사 대량학살이 문명사회에 남긴 상처”) Following historical events are in that book. It is hard to present all the contents of each historical events so I summarized each episodes on my own words. I translate this korean books in quite easy words so I think all of you guys can read my posting without problem.
 
Warning: You may get angry when reading this post and some disgusting expression can be included.
 
 
1. Sharpville, South Africa. 1960. 3. 21
Sharpville is resident place of black people in Africa. White people authority made ID cards only for black native people. Black people should carry that cards if they don’t, they come to get into jail. That is generated in segregation policy which is so called “apartheid”(discrimination policy). Black native peoples demonstrated against this unfair policy. Their objection protest was getting bigger in front of the police station. About 300 police officers gathered to block and dismiss them. In the end, they started to shot protesters with rifle and machine guns. 69 people were dead and 180 people were injured in few seconds of firing.
Casualty: 69 people dead
 
2. MyLai, Vietnam 1968. 3. 16
During Vietnam War(1954-75), 120 american soldiers were dispatched to the MyLai area in Vietnam. Their mission was eliminating the Vietcong(베트콩).
Vietcong lived in basement turnel and moved at night. So US armed force had hard time th fight against them. Loss and damage of US force was getting bigger. One day, group of US soldiers had mission to attack MyLai town because they come to know that many Vietcongs were there. Many innocent people like women and children were in MiLai. And soldiers knew that innocent people were there but US force decided to attack the MyLai. 400 innocent people were dead for 4 hours attack. And US soldiers did inhumane things. They cut the dead body and pile the dead bodies in big hole. And they also raped women.
Casualty: 400 people dead
 
3. Cambodia. 1975-1979
There were politic war between Vietnam and Cambodia. Saloth Sar(‘살로트 사라는 캄보디아인), new leader of Cambodia kept fighting. North Vietnam and South Vietnam was incorporated and became Republic of Vietnam. Vietnam signed a treaty with Laos(라오스). Saloth Sar considered this as threat to Cambodia. So as response to this pressure, Saloth Sar ordered to kill 100000 Cambodian people who were from Vietnam.
Casualty: 100000 people dead 
 
4. Tiananmen squre in China. 1989. 6. 3-4
Tiananmen squre(천안문(톈안먼) 광장) is in the center of the capita of China. Tiananmen(천안문) which means peaceful gate in the heaven is located in north of the Tiananmen squre. One of the most well-known event held in Tiananmen squre is students demonstration. Hundreds of thousnads students gathered to represent their idea about future of China. They were suppressed by the tanks and soldiers which Socialism leader group sent. Socialism leaders considered that purpose of students demonstration is getting rid of the root of Socialism system. Head of Communism Party allowed that armed force can be mobilized to dismiss the protesters in square. After end of genocide in square, China Red Cross confirmed that total 2600 students lost their lives.
Casualty: 2600 people dead
 
5. Rwnada(르완다). 1994. April July
Rwnada is in middle area of Africa. Hutu tribe(후투 족) and Tutsi tribe(투치 족) migrated to Rwanda and they consisted of most people in Rwanda. Tutsi is a tribe which raised animals like cow, sheep, horse and Hutu is a tribe which did farming and agriculture. Hutu overwhelmed Tutsi in number of people but Tutsi succeeded dominating Rwanda because of their much wealth. Their difference and stratification was getting bigger in social status and wealth.
Belgium was dominating Rwanda at that times. Belgium make it obligatory to release the ID cards which show someone's tribe name. So changing social status by doing effort became impossible. This made discrimination and isolation confirmed. At the end, Hutu tribe killed Tutsi tribe people and 75% of Tutsi tribe(800000 people) was eliminated for 100 days.
Casualty: 800000 people dead
 
Reference: Joseph Cummins, Cruel World history Scar that Genocide gave to civilized society, sigmabooks, 2011, 제효영 번역.

My Comments: In Guang-ju,  Korea 1980. 5.18. Military authority dominated Korea. Many students protested against this arbitrary domination. 154 people died. I come to know that genocide can take place not even in war. I was suprised that genocide can take place in one country or between same race and tribes.
And I wanna suggest other concepts of genocide in modern society.  Actually it is not genocide but I think that if we ignore this social problem, it CAN BE genocide. Hundreds of children are dying in 1 second in the world because of starvation. It is not genocide because someone didn't kill them. But if world doesn't pay much attention to this problem, it WILL become genocide.

What is a sciology?- Kim jinwoo(김진우)

When class starts, we watched TED. After watching TED, we talked this viedo.

First, government must raise minimum hourly wage. Minimum hourly wage is maximum down-line of hourly wage. Reason government raise minimum hourly wage is people have to have more money.
Minimum hourly wage happen people have more money because people recive more money in return working. If people have more money, people will use more money. That make actively economic. As a result, Middle-class is larger. That is good situation. Middle class is column of society. Situation there are many middle class is society is well kept.

Social structure is defined by proportion of middle class. First, there are Pyramid structure. Pyramid structure consist of  big low class and small middle class and smaller high class. It serious stratified. There are big gap between low class and high class. Seccond is Hourglass structure. Hourglass structure is big high class and bigger low class than hig class and very small middle class. Unstable structure is unstable structure. It have many conflict. Many low class think society is unequality. As a result, this structure is likely collapsing. Last is Diamond Structure. Diamond Structure is the most stable structure. Diamond structure consist of small high class, low class and big high class. This structure  have many middle class. This is good thing. This is also the ideal goal.

Stratification(economy, racial and ethnic) posted by lee ye won(이예원)

Intro

This week, we learned the stratification that economy, racial and ethnic. I think that the stratification is very various and talk about many things. The very interesting things are racial and ethinic. this is different something in each countries. I think that the Genocide part is interesting thing. I mean that we don't forget it and don't do this forever.


economical stratification

- Gini coefficient




the degree of income/ wealth stratification in a society is measured using the Gini coefficient of inequality. the Gini coefficient is a measure of statistical dispersion intended to represent the income distribution of a nation's residents. Gini coefficient is not representing the measurement of income distribution with the measurement of wealth.





- proverty is usually measured as either Absolute or Relative

Absolute poverty refers to a set standard which is consistent over time and between countries.

Relative provery statistics measure inequality rather than mateerial deprivation or hardship.

World system theory stratification into core and periphery is another international stratification ranking.

Core countries focus on higher skill, capitall - intensive production.

The rest of the world focuses on low - skill, labor - intensive production and extraction of raw materials.


Racial and ethnic Stratification

Race and ethnicity are primarily social, not biological constructs.

Ethnicity is the set of behavioral, cultural and organizational differences that allow us to catagorize members of a population/subpopulation as distinctive.

Race is the perceived biological component of ethinicity(what make peple "look" different)


Nationalism

Nationalism is a belief, creed, or political ideology that involves an individual indentifying with or becoming attached to, one's nation.


-Civic Nationalism VS Ethnic Nationalism

Civic Nationalism(liberal nationalism)

civic nationalism defines the nation as an association of people who identify themselves as belonging to the nation, who have equal and shared political rights and allegiance to similar political procedures. the nation is not based on common ethnic ancestry, but is a political entitiy whose core identity is not ethnicity, but shared cultural values, traditions and civic ideals.

Ethnic Nationalism

Ethnic nationalism bases membership of the nation on descent or heredity, often articualted in terms of common blood, or kinship - rather than on political membership.

Ethnic nation - common ethnic ancesty
                         only peolpe of a given ethnic(racial)
                         background can be part of the nation


Ethnic stratification

It is a situation where members of particular ethnic groups are disproportionately over- and under - represneted in particular social classes. In stitutionalized discrimination is offical discrimination encode in law


Genocide

It is a systematic attempt to exterminate an ethnicity within a society. for exampel Genocide nazi.



Discussion

Topic : Is korean becoming multiethnic?

Our team told that is right. First Korean people think that Aisan people are introversible and European people are extroversible. cause korean proxemics and other countries proxemics are different. for example when the korean people huge with someone, someone is very friednship person or lover. Second, they think that the foreign people are American people even they know that the world is varisous countries. cause they learnded that the english is only using in American.


My thinking

I think this week topic is very intersting thing. I learned the stratification is many things. Genocide is not only in Germany but also in Asia. so I will post it the Genocide someday.... I think korean racial and ethnic stratification is important. Cause korean think that we are one race and one ethnicity. it is so ridiciulous. I learned that why it is so ridiciulous.

Polygamy 이진혁 (Lee-Jinhyeok)

Ploygamy is thing that one man gets married with more than one wife at the same time. This has function to maintain authority of the strong male and to keep the relative ties. This type is mainly found in Islamic cultures. traditional marriage in Islam is polygamy. But It is applied only strong and competitive man. Ability man can occupy many woman.

Korea has also been allowed polygamy in the past. In present, polygamy has based that all the wives have equal rights.  But at Former Korea, first wife and Second wife had undergone discrimination. Wives that except First wife are called kept woman. Their children also have been discriminated compared to child`s first wife. Being determined life as soon as born is unfair. 

In Islam polygamy has rule by law that all the wives have eqyal rights, it has not been abide properly. I think that polygamy is not moral. One man must love only one spouse. And it is strange that one man occupies a number of woman.

Why is god in christianity often portrayed as a male? - lee ye won (이예원)


Intro

 

Why is god in chirstinity often potrayed as a male? This question is equal to this question. Why should god be a father? And why should godless disappear? In ancient Greece, there were many godless but why they disappear?

 

 

Holy of in the beginning is godless

 

When we see the ancient relic, we know that the all statuses are women. We are guessing the status is woman that the breast and the bottom are pointing. In the ancient legend of creation, it always appears the godless. (ancient Greece, ancient Egypt, and ancient Mesopotamia and so on..) so why they disappear? What is the reason?

 

 





Why is the god man?

 

This question’s answer is this. The myth and the religion result from patriarchy of extreme form. This center is father, and sometimes is son. Woman always appears mother. The imagination of figurative god is ideology that the letter is settled in the certain religion scripture. For example it is god the father. This is literal conversation very long time and imagines the god appears the man.
 

 



My opinion of the question
 
I think this is simple thing but intersting topic why we belive the god as the man. it is very personal thinking. I think that the ancient korean godless exists. In my childhood, my mother cooked sea mustard soup in my birthday. and she take the bow of the soup near me sleeping on the bed. this bow is for grandma samsin. she is patrol saint for birth baby and children. it is intersting thing that our popular belief in godless.

Week 8 (midterm) blog - "Class stratification" / posted by So Jeong Yeon (연소정)


1. Introdution

 
In this week’s class, we learned about class stratification. We already learned social stratification briefly when studying social structure. I think class stratification and social stratification are a little bit different but this week’s topic is basically an extension of last classes.

 

 2. What I learned

 
The definition of stratification is the structuring of society by level of command over resources like wealth, power and prestige.
 
There are two theories related to class stratification. Karl Marx and Max Weber modeled stratification in different ways.
     

source: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Karl_Marx_001.jpg?uselang=ko
Karl Marx
soure:
Max Weber
soure:
























Karl Marx divide all of society into two hierarchical social classes. Marx’s model of social stratification is based on control over the wealth, in particular, MEANS OF PRODUCTION(resources, capital). The BOURGEOISIE who control the means of production have the power. They exploits the PROLETARIAT who are workers and ensure they never get enough power.
 
In this class, I realized false consciousness. The proletariat are not necessarily aware of their status as a disadvantaged group. So Marx argued that if people would realize that a small group is manipulating them, they would rebel, overthrow the system and create a more classless society. I couldn’t think about this respect. Before, I thought simply that proletariat are always aware of their status as disadvantaged.
 
Unlike Karl Marx, Max Weber modeled stratification in three dimensions. CLASSES are economic, IDENTITIES are social, and PARTIES are political.
 
 

3. My opinion of the question

 

Q. In many places, including Korea, there is a strong relationship between education and social class, why?

 

who is an upper class?
soure:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Social_class
I think the more people get education, the higher the chance that people belong in the upper class is. People who receive high quality education and have a good educational background usually may be more likely to hold a white collar job.
 
I think, of course, a higher education does not necessarily prove that the person is competent. A person should be judged by their actions, ability, potential and dedication-not their educational background. However, Sadly, a person's educational background is all-important in many counties including Korea. Therefore, people who get a higher education are considered as capable and have a white collar job. And in general, white-collar jobs bring with it status and a high income than blue-collar jobs do.
 
Like this, education and financial status are related and social class is highly related to one’s income. As we learned in class, social class refers to grouping people into a set of hierarchical social categories, the most common being ‘the wealth’ based division into upper, middle, and lower classes.

economic (class) stratification - lee ye won (이예원)


Intro

This week, we learned the stratification and had the middle exam. (It was hard in this week) I thought that it was very interesting thing. There were two sociologists – Karl Max and Max Weber. It is interesting that compare Max thinking with Weber thinking. There are different these sociologist thinking. Let’s start to know about this!


Stratification

It is the structuring of society by level of command over resources like wealth power and prestige. Wealth, power, and prestige systems of stratification overlap but are not identical.

 

Social class

It refers to grouping people into a set of hierarchical social categories, the most common being the wealth based division into upper, middle and lower classes.

 

Karl Max all of society into two hierarchical social classes  : Proletariat and Bourgeoisie

Max’s model of social stratification is based on control over the wealth in particular means of production (resources, capital)

 

 
 
 
Proletariat – workers, laborers

They work of the bourgeoisie.

 

Bourgeoisie – business owners

They control the means of production. They have the power. Bourgeoisies exploits the workers, ensuring they never get enough power(wealth) to threaten them.

 

Max

è  There are so many more workers than employers, why don’t the workers just seize political control of the means of production.

è  Bourgeoisie manipulates cultural symbols creating ideologies justifying their power and privileges.

 

Social status

 

 
It is the honor or prestige attached to one’s position in society. Some statuses are purely nominal, with no rank attached. Many statuses, however, imply a ranking in larger society.

 

Max Weber developed a refined model of stratification that went beyond wealth.

Weber modeled stratification in three dimensions : economic, social and political

1.     Classes are economic (wealth based) and include max proletariat and bourgeoisie.

2.     Identities (status – groups) are social and cultural group memberships.

3.     Parties are political and include formal political parties as well as influence groups.

 

Weber thought Charismatic leader could bring about revolutionary change in society – but the emergence of such a leader is not guaranteed.



(plus!)
 
Operationalization

 

It is the process of defining a concept so as to make the concept clearly measurable and to understand it in terms of empirical observation. (Defining something so that it can be measured)

 

Example

 

Age can be operationalized with numbers representing years or days. Social class can be operationalized as “lower”, “middle” or “upper”

 

 

Wealth

 

àHow many money? How earn the money in the year? (about million dollars or thousand dollars)

 

Power in a relationship

 

àHow many meet around people? How many call your phone list people?

 

Depression

 

àHow much time in the house? How many meet people in week?

What is Sociology 7 - 안지영 (An Ji Young)

First, social cohesion is bonds that bring together in given society. And socialization and social control contribute to social cohesion and social integration. To add explanation to this, socialization means learning value, technology, and knowledge that is necessary for social life by doing interaction with member of society. For example, people learn to see themselves as a part of society, we also learn how to role-play-act in certain situation, how to read symbols, and how to read and display emotions. At this part we had two short discussion.

First topic was "Color pink is associated with girl, why?" Pink was rather associated with boys at 19th century. Because pink is energetic and dynamic color. On the other hand at 19th century girls wore blue clothes because blue is delicate and elegant color. From here we could know the sentence "Pink is girlish color and blue is boyish color." is prejudice. And this prejudice is represented at the mid-80s. Because in the mid-80s which was an economic boom wealthy parents knew babies' sex beforehand and bought pile of their babies' clothes. And manufacturers used color for barrier so that they couldn't hand clothes down. So the sentence "Pink is only girl's color." is just a prejudice.

And our second topic was "Can we think of other ways the society tells us how different things are expected from boys and girls?" About toy, commonly people think boy like car and robot but girl like pretty doll. And in the book which children read most of main characters are boys. Also like our first topic boys are expected to wear clothes of blue color and girls are expected to wear clothes of pink color. 

Elements of Social Organization : Socialization and social control(ByoungHyun Chun)천병헌

Main topic: Socialization and social control

  • Name : Chun ByoungHyun.

  • Date : April 13~14th.2015

Intro

This week, I learned about "Socialization and social control". Since human beings are social animals, socialization have no choice but inevitably occur. Society structure and function are constantly changing, also changes the quality of life accordingly. Before the modern society, women that advance to the world of politics are criticized for men. However, today women now have a profession such as civil servants, politicians and scientists, the quality of women`s lives was higher accordingly. In this way, society became inevitably socialization, society is constantly developed  rather than fixed.

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

In Korean society, the role of men and women has been classified. In the past, in school, women learned household, cooking etc. On the other hand, men learned technology, labor etc.
I thought 'ordinary Korea house'. From the Joseon Dynasty, the role of gender is clear. Men go outside and labored to earn money. On the other hand, women taught their childern and kept house.These stereotypes about role of sex followed as if not be seen. Childern who grew up in those environment will expect that the role of men and women is to be clearly distinguished. To solve this problem, recognizing the relationship between men and women to be a horizontal, equal relationship, we need to share a complementary manner role.



Topic2 : Color pink is asscoiated with girl, why?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink
I think that this question superficially looks easy, but requires more time to think. Girls prefer to pink color than boys. The reason for girls associated with pink is by acquired learning.
Of course, Girls innately is to cherish the softness and sense of stability. However, a much larger impact of acquired learning.
For example, girls is played with a pink of dolls from childhood and saw the drama of girl sensibility. The reason why women is associated with the pink is stereotypes. If I questioned that for girl friends any color prefer, it was answered almost prefer pink. Let`s assume that men use the pink clothes and writing utensils. In Korean society, probably going to be a kind of laughter.
Like this, in the society of women, pink color was solidified as a symbol of only women.
(For another example, Although born as a human, growing up in the animals live environment, human imitate character of animal. This is the story of the wolf boy.)
 
Thank you for reading!!!

What is sociology?(7) 백송은(Baek-song eun)

topic1 :color pink is associated with girls, why?


To be honest, when I heard this question, Warwickshire real why we felt the question I thought the pink to be a woman color. However, if you actually trying to answer, thought it was really difficult for the root cause. People are wondering the likes of course men pink as. I remembered what words to this once easily.Women are not born to the original women, the term female, are women. Modern society, has emphasized that the feminine. I have thought that the color is also included the women of that pink. You do not know what pink is the one in women sex from time. Therefore thing that it is difficult to answer to this question.

interesting

I was really interesting is social status in this week's lesson. I have a really large number of social status also. Daughter, female, student, is one according to the friends and the role I also accepted in a different way. Because human beings are living in society, I think from reason also social status to do depending on the situation. Because of the position given to relationships and their surrounding the human,Would not be able to betray the faith of the surrounding people. However, apart from as such social status is interesting, in relation to sex, to meet people's expectations is really ironic. Just I was in contact with the commonplace as the culture you do not know that such a culture actually from when was created.

What is Sociology 7 - Kim Jae Hoon (김재훈)


Topic 1: Color pink is associated with girls. Why?

This is associated with the acquired learning. 
We have to learn constantly after birth.
Although learning is essential, childhood learning should also form a stereotype.
This may just be that illustrate the topic.
Childhood, we have seen a number of children's books and animated films.
Take the Walt Disney animated film as an example.
Can you imagine Rapunzel wearing a brown dress?
Female characters are dressed in bright colors, and male characters are dressed in the colors that contrast with the girls.
Through this process, our minds have (bright color = feminine color) equation is stamped.


Topic 2: Can we think of other ways the society tells us how different things are expected from boys and girls?


Bravery. Strength. Progressive / homey. Calm. Softness.
Each keyword represents men and women. (Of course, in the old world of ideas.)

From a long time ago, society has demanded their different roles for men and women.
Males made money, the women did household chores.
A stereotypes that had been built over centuries are influenced until now. However, in modern times, the gap has narrowed.

Men and women became almost equal status. 
Society is changing to expect an equal role to also, male and female.
