 summary：

Social stratification is a core concept in social sciences. It describes the relative social status of an individual in a specific social group, geographical region or other social unit. This concept has far-reaching theoretical significance and practical application value, and its interesting aspects are reflected in many aspects.


First, social stratification reveals the existence of social inequality. Sociologists have found that social members have stratification or differences due to their possession of different social resources. These resources include political resources, economic resources, cultural resources, etc., among which economic resources are particularly core. Social stratification reflects the status hierarchy and social class order of social members in the social system, and shows the phenomenon of social inequality.


Secondly, social stratification is closely related to social mobility, and together they constitute two important aspects of social dynamics. Social mobility refers to the change in the position of an individual or group in the social stratification structure, including the change in social status. Social stratification describes the static structure of society, while social mobility reveals the dynamic changes of this structure. The two interact with each other and jointly affect the operation and development of society.


In addition, social stratification has multiple definitions and division methods. Different scholars and sociologists may divide social levels according to different standards and theoretical frameworks. This diversity makes the study of social stratification richer and more diverse, and also provides us with more perspectives and thinking space.


Finally, the study of social stratification has important practical significance. Through the study of social stratification, we can have a deeper understanding of the structure and operation mechanism of society and reveal the causes and consequences of social inequality. This helps us formulate more just and equal social policies and promote social harmony and stability.


In summary, social stratification is a social science concept full of interest and depth. It reveals the existence of social inequality, is closely related to social mobility, has multiple definitions and division methods, and has important practical significance. Through the study of social stratification, we can better understand social phenomena and problems, and provide useful inspiration and reference for the development and progress of society.

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 incorpora

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 st

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 proprietary c
