Week 4 : Extra Credit Assignment

 The Interaction Assignment. What did you do? What did you learn? Was it fun?

Based on Goffman's theory, I analyzed the interactions in elevators that are common in everyday life. I chose this interaction because I wanted to prove that I can find a sociological point of view even in this small daily life.
After reading Goffman's "The Presentation of Self In Everyday Life," I came to see the world from various perspectives. The society was a kind of "peformance" and that we were "actors" in the play, therefore, each day felt more special and precious. And it was very interesting that I could be not only an observer, but also an 'actor'.
In the future, I would like to apply this theory to other interactions to better understand society and analyze its complex relationships.

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.

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
