Invitaion of Sociology:The First Lecture

1. Summary:
The theme of the first lecture was "What is the definition of sociology?" and operationalization. There are innumerable definitions of sociology, such as the definition of science that studies social phenomena, and the definition of science that studies human relationship behavior. There is no definite definition of sociology. Operationalization is the act of making measurements that can not be measured.

2. What was interesting/what did you learn:
I felt that the operationalization I learned in the lecture was very similar to the operational definition I had learned in high school. I also tried to do some manipulations myself.
1. Depression: a state in which there is no power to do anything and can not feel the reason for life.
2. Wealth: A state that is not threatened by food or shelter.
3. Power of relationship: Some friends can contact you immediately when there is something wrong.


3 .Discussion point:
I think there may be some problems in operationalization. This is due to the difference in the characteristics of physics and sociology, which is the beginning of operationalization. Unlike physics, which can be fully defined by physical laws, operationalization in sociology can cause confusion by making different definitions for each person.
