What is sociology? / Week1 / Hayoung Lee

1. What is sociology? What do you think?

 I think sociology is a study of all the interactions of what constitutes society. It is because sociology begins with the phenomenon that the elements make.

2. Try to operationalize (define and make measurable)

1) wealth
 Wealth can be operationalized by mean value of all people's income, and if one's income upper than average, we can say that person is wealthy.

2) power in a relationship
 For example, in Korea, we have age hierarchy. So older person can have power in relationship. Like this, I think, the power can be operationalized differently depending on the situation.

3) depression(emotional)
 It can be operationalized by matching physical changes such as blood pressure, pulse, etc. with apparent verbal and nonverbal expressions. (It is the most difficult part to operationalize, so I'm not sure of my answer.)


3. Why does fashion change?
 Because the development of media has made it easier to change culture, people who encounter it quickly embrace the new fashion trend.
