Introduction to blogging

This blog is a digital forum where students from Spring 2021 class in Sociology of Everyday Life aka Everyday Life and Social Structure at the Hanyang University in Korea will discuss their weekly readings and activities.


An ideal blog should be about 800 words, divided into three clearly labeled sections in which you: 1) summarize in your own words of materials you read; 2) mention any new, interesting, or unusual items learned; 3) identify at least one question, concern, or discussion angle that is either problematic in some respect or could have been elaborated more. This question is likely to be incorporated into our class discussions. You are allowed to quote an interesting passage from the text(s) you've read, but the quotes will not count toward any length requirements.

Note that for this assignment you will need to create a Google Account (https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount). Each student will receive an emailed invitation to join the blog and become its co-author. You have to accept it before you will be able to post.

Also, note that unless you configure your account to do so automatically you will need to sign your blog posts with at least your first name and initial – so I know who is posting (you can set up your username to do so automatically). Unsigned blog posts will not be graded. Also, add a label to each of your blogs based on your name and initial (so for me that would be Piotr K), this will make it easy for you and me to quickly find all of your blogs (how to label a post).

Here is an example of an excellent blog post (structure, content), although note this blog is on the longer side (about 800 words). You are not required to write so much, although if you do, you may receive extra credit.

If you need help with regards to how to post your blog comments, click here. There is a lot of help on how to blog, such as this video (one of many from the official blogger help channel).

You can receive information on when somebody comments on our blog, your blog post, and so on by following the guide here

Week1 Assignment & Extra Credit Assignment : Eunjin Jung

2020092188 Eunjin Jung Week 1 Assignment  Why are you taking this class?  I was interested in various issues that usually occur in our society. Not only in South Korea, but also around the world, many people are “interacting”. The interaction leads to tremendous development by cooperating with the community. On the other hand, there are conflicts due to interaction. There are countless results from interactions. Therefore, I was attracted to “interaction”. I take “Sociology of Everyday Life” because I thought I could observe our society more deeply through this class. What PRACTICAL SKILLS do you expect to gain from attending it?  I am interested in 'Data science' that collects and analyzes data. To grow into a great data scientist, I need to learn the technology to analyze data, but I think the most important thing is the “Insight” and “Creativity”. Through this class, I would like to develop "Insight" to find the core of data and "Creativity" to analyze so...

W4.1 extra credit assignment - Eunjin Jung

Q) the Interaction Assignment. What did you do? What did you learn? Was it fun? A) I analyzed the interactions within the machine learning study I participating in based on Goffman's theory. Through Goffman's "The Presentation of Self In Everyday Life," I learned a new perspective on the world. When I thought that what we go through was a kind of "peformance" and that we were "actors" in the play, our daily lives felt more valuable and dramatic. This was a very funny experience for me. Also, the thought of the presence of “the stage” and “behind the stage” gave me a deeper understanding of the interaction process.

Topics in Sociology: Social interaction - Extra Credit Assignment

  What is more important: the actions of individuals or the environment that influences them? I believe that individual behavior is more important than the environment that affects the individual. I think that the environment is created by individuals, institutions are settled, and structured. That's because the environment is the group of individuals and the core is the individual who makes up the environment. Let's look at the following pictures and try to answer:how do those people feel? Why do they act the way they do? What can we learn from answering those questions? It was pictures that I could feel that a person's life was diverse. Every picture shows people's facial expressions, and I wondered what the two monks in India were looking at and what the expression meant. They seem to have seen something they usually haven't seen. By answering these questions, you can understand other people's thoughts, lives, and even society. How are you try to manage your ...
