 summary：

Gender is indeed a multi-level and multi-dimensional sociological concept. It not only involves the biological differences between men and women, but more importantly, it covers a series of expectations, definitions and norms that culture and society hold for men and women.


In different cultural and social contexts, gender roles and gender identities are often interpreted and expressed differently. These expectations and definitions are usually transmitted to individuals through multiple channels such as family, education, media and social institutions. They not only affect how people view themselves and others, but also shape how people behave in daily life.


For example, in some societies, men may be expected to show strong, decisive and competitive qualities, while women may be expected to show gentleness, thoughtfulness and good at taking care of others. However, these expectations are not fixed, they continue to evolve with the changes of the times and the evolution of society.


Gender sociology also focuses on gender inequality, that is, the uneven distribution of social resources and opportunities due to gender differences. This inequality may be reflected in many fields such as employment, education, and political participation, which has a profound impact on individuals and society.


At the same time, gender identity and gender expression are also important research areas in gender sociology. Gender identity refers to the degree to which an individual recognizes and accepts his or her own gender, while gender expression refers to how an individual displays his or her gender characteristics in daily life. Both aspects are closely related to the individual's mental health and social integration.


In short, gender, as a sociological concept, involves multiple levels and dimensions. It is not only a reflection of biological characteristics, but also a reflection of cultural and social expectations and definitions. Through in-depth research on gender, we can better understand the interactive relationship between individuals and society, as well as the root causes and solutions to gender inequality.

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

W10.2 May 10 (Fri)—CHENG SHIYI

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
