W1. Why are you taking this class?

The name of this class itself was interesting to me. In fact, the sociology curriculum of the last semester seemed difficult to me because it was biased toward theoretical concepts rather than practical ones. However, this class was interesting because it was about applying sociology in everyday life. Furthermore, I thought that we could analyze the common patterns and habits of people to understand the meaning of the actions. It occurred to me that these processes could be helpful to my career. Actually, I was a little worried while looking at the lecture plan. I was anxious and excited at the same time whether I could accomplish all these assignments. There was a lot of homework, but I think I had a lot of worries because it gave me a lot to think about and it was an interesting topic. But in the end, I decided to take this class. As much as I thought about it, I will follow the class hard. I am looking forward to this class. I will try to learn many things through the upcoming project. Professor, I look forward to working with you.

Imagine you and your family are throwing a party for your family friends in your house. What are the stages?

 I think the stage is 'back'.  In this situation, I'll only invite the friendly friends in my house, so, the people who in the party going to be most close friend to me. With close friends we talk about anything, like hating person, talking about crush in somebody or even the physiological phenomenon. And the home. Home is one of the most comfortable place that I can relax my body and my mind. And also, nobody can hear what we say. This is why people love to be at home.   However, we can't talk about this I the public places that everyone can hear this. Because it is embarrassing.  In this case(house party with family and friends), we can do anything that we didn't do outside. So, I think the stage is 'back'.

W4. Extra ) the Interaction Assignment

  I had an Interaction Assignment activity with my companion and observed the responses of pedestrians on the road. Through the observations and reflections of Goffman's theory, we find that "no matter what the specific goal an individual has in his mind or what the motivation for achieving it, his interest is always to control the behavior of others, especially the reactions of others to him."This control will be achieved primarily by a restriction that affects others gradually, and he can express himself in some way by giving others an impression that he will lead others to act on their own will."This is what we call impression management. The process of human communication is the process in which people perform "self", but this "self" is not the real self, but the "self" dressed up in symbolic disguise.

What's the front of a TV idol?

I think TV idol has very different image in front and back stage. Many of them can't show their difficulty or tiredness in front of the camera, because of the image. Many people call that 'professionalism'. Like dancing in the rain in the concert or on the TV show regard of health problem. Also, they have to be on makeup or wear a fancy clothes all the time in front of the camera or in the show. They can be shoot anytime.  Normal people don't do like this. Most people are rest in their home when they are tired or have a health issues. And not everyone be on a makeup all the time. Because everyone don't mind about them. But TV idols are different. They have to be perfect in front of the camera. So, I think the front stage of TV idols is all the time when they are in front of the cameras.
