1. summary

 Sociology is discussed as a branch of the social sciences that uses empirical investigation and critical analysis to develop knowledge about the structure and activities of human society with the aim of applying this knowledge to government policy and social welfare.It covers a wide range of topics from micro-level interactions to macro-level social processes.The traditional focus of sociology includes social relations, social stratification, social interaction, culture and deviance, using qualitative and quantitative research techniques.Emphasis is placed on the evolving methods and approaches in sociology, such as the cultural turn of the 1970s and 1980s and the rise of new mathematically rigorous methods such as social network analysis.It emphasizes the importance of understanding that societies are constantly changing and that sociology is rooted in significant social change.Early sociological theorists, such as Marx, Weber, and Durkheim, focused on social processes that drove change, and C.Wright Mills (c. The concept of sociological imagination proposed by Dr. Wright Mills is discussed as a way to understand individual problems in a broader social context.The document also addresses the role of values and beliefs in sociology, emphasizing the importance of using scientific methods to examine and understand social phenomena.


2.Interesting point 

Using the sociological imagination to place individual issues within the framework of broader social issues helps individuals understand the larger historical context.Sociological imagination enables the individual to go beyond the individual's worldview and thus better respond to the social world, understanding events and social structures that influence behavior, attitudes, and culture.


3.Question 

Socialization and personal development, how do individuals form their own cognitive, attitude and behavioral patterns in the process of socialization?How does socialization affect individual development and identity?

Introduction to the blog

 This blog is a digital forum where students from Collective Intelligence in Practice: Understanding Wikipedia at the Hanyang University in Korea (2024) will discuss their weekly readings and activities. Each week you are expected to post a blog post on our blog and make a comment on another student's post. You can do so on one of the following three topics: a) You can blog about the readings for the next week. As you are expected to do the assigned readings FOR the lectures they are assigned to, you are expected to post your blog and comments BEFORE that lecture. An ideal commentary should be about half a page in length (~200 words), divided into three clearly labeled sections in which you: 1) summarize in your own words of materials you read; 2) mention any new, interesting, or unusual items learned; 3) identify at least one question, concern, or discussion angle that is either problematic in some respect or could have been elaborated more. This question is likely to be...

1.Summary   Remix culture is a culture that allows and encourages the creation of derivative works through the editing of existing material, challenges exclusive copyright restrictions, promotes the idea of remixing, and facilitates the free flow of creativity. In Remix, Lessig describes the shift from a read-only culture to a read/write culture, where the advent of digital technology has redefined the way culture is created and distributed in ways that facilitate the interactive relationship between producers and consumers and democratize the production of ideas and the distribution of content. The history of remix culture dates back to the 19th century, e.g.: according to American media scholar Henry Jenkins, but the balance between creation and consumption shifted with the advancement of analog recording and reproduction technologies.The analog era of the early 20th century, with its specialized creative equipment and cheap consumer devices, led to the strengthening of proprieta...

W1.1 Intro class: intro to class, blog, wiki and other assignments——CHENG SHIYI

1. Summary  I have taken classes from you, the professor, before and have always been interested in Wikipedia, so I chose to take your class this semester regardless. I understand from your introduction to all the courses in the lecture that this semester's Collective Intelligence in Practice course is centered around Wikipedia, which I understand is an encyclopedia that anyone can edit, and that Wikipedia brings together knowledge from around the world. One of the quotes in your course syllabus is that Technocrati's chief technologist says that soon "Wiki-knowledge will be a required job skill." Wikipedia, a non-profit encyclopedic website, is ranked among the top 5 most popular websites in the world, all thanks to a little bit of contribution from volunteers in the world. I see from this that the Collective Intelligence in Practice program understands Collective Intelligence on the Internet through Wikipedia from a sociological perspective. There are many ways to s...
