What is sociology / Week 1 / 차주희 JuHee Cha



1.      Summary

We first learned what the definition of sociology is. The definition of sociology consisted of society, social relationship, human behavior, social life, and more. It was not decided what was best and everything we thought could be the definition of sociology.
I also learned about Operalization. Just like sociology, it defines a measure of an phenomenon that is not measurable.

2.      What was interesting/what did you learn

When the class first started, I had time to think about what sociology was. Our team thought sociology is relationship between communities. In fact, it seems difficult to define sociology as a single sentence. Every friend of mine had different opinions and it was true. And defining abstract things like 'wealth', 'power in a relationship', and 'depression' took a lot of time to think.

3.      Discussion Point

I think sociology is a very broad subject. And when I think about the word sociology, it seems boring. I wonder how sociology is being applied to our modern society. And I wonder what fields are in sociology. I want to apply sociology closer to our lives.

  1. There are various types of sociology ranging from types that are often associated, such as formal sociology and cultural sociology, to somewhat unfamiliar types such as music sociology. However, the possibility of considering music sociology as a discipline is still controversial.

  2. I agree that sociology covers a very large area.
    I think the field of sociology is largely divided into two. One is a macro social phenomenon that encompasses areas such as political activity, economic relations, and religious phenomena and another is micro-social phenomena that study specific social phenomena such as groups and individual actions.
