Urban Sociology Extra Credit Assignment - SuBin Choi

What does it mean that a public place is successful?

I think that a successful public place is a 'place that people use a lot'. These feelings, such as comfort and familiarity, can also be said to be a criterion for success, but that feeling can also be a reason why many people come to the place in the end. I think that being a public place itself is intended to reflect the state of society in which several people belong together. Therefore, being a successful public place implies that it is a place that people use a lot.

 

“Every successful indoor space provides food”. Do you agree?

Not every successful indoor space serves food. Amusement parks and squares provide food, but indoor spaces such as hospitals and museums that clearly have the purpose and intention of visiting do not provide food separately. Therefore, I think the availability of food depends on the purpose and characteristics of the indoor space.

 

“Shops are important for liveliness and the additional pedestrian flows they attract.” Can we think of places that should have more stores? Would the campus be better if it had more shopping places?

I don't think it's good to have more shopping places on campus. Campus is definitely a space for students, and I think that students should come first. While having the advantage of increasing the convenience of students with more shopping venues is that there will be more people on campus who are not directly related to the school, this can lead to confusion. The place where there should be more shops can be said to be amusement parks. There are some shops in the amusement park, but I don't think it's the number that can accommodate all of the people who visit the place called an amusement park. In this regard, I think we need more stores because there may be inconvenience and frustration of having to wait for a long time.

 

Try to come up with at least one idea on how to make this building and its surroundings more friendly.

One way to make the building and its surroundings friendly is to put things that we can easily see and feel comfortable with. Not only are flowers or trees something we can easily see, but they give us comfort. This comfort is an intimate and special feeling you can get from nature. If you put flowers and trees and even a bench, you can make the building and its surroundings more 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.

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.

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 ...
