Social interaction - Extra Credit Assignment

  What is more important: the actions of individuals or the environment that influences them?


→ I think individual behavior is more important. This is because humans are not passive beings that should be unilaterally influenced by the environment. Of course, the environment affects humans as much as humans affect the environment, but I think that individual behavior is more important because individual needs are inherent in changing 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?


→ These pictures show the behavior of people from different cultures around the world. Looking at these pictures, I wanted to think about why these people would act like this and have ideas, but interestingly, I felt that I was looking at them from my own perspective.




How are you try to manage your own impression of others? How influenced others?


→ I would like to show the impression of being as quiet and polite as possible to others. That's why I keep promises well and take the attitude of listening to other people's opinions first.




What symbols do we see, and how do they influence our behavior?


→ The dove as a symbol means 'peace.' In the city center, it is accepted as a harmful animal due to its increased population and hygiene problems, but on stages like the Olympics, it is portrayed as a symbol of peace and inspires people.




What other symbols do you think can have different meaning in different part of the world?


→ In Korea, the number 4(sa) tends to be regarded as a death number because of the similar pronunciation to death(死, sa), so some buildings, including hospitals, do not have a fourth floor. But in the West, the number 4 does not give meaning to death.




What other examples can we think of? 

→ Why do we associate green with 'green(eco-friendly)'?

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.

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.

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 ...
