Week 1. (extra) Why are you taking this class?

 Why are you taking this class?

Sociology naturally occurs in people's lives. However, I didn't have many opportunities to think about what sociology is and how it works in our lives. As the title of this class, I was curious and wanted to learn about the sociology of everyday life. 

I am used to passive learning until I come to college, so I have a fear of active learning. But this class seems to have more active learning, so I think I can change myself from pursuing passive learning.


What PRACTICAL SKILLS do you expect to gain from attending it?

I just got information from Wikipedia, but I've never participated in Wikipedia myself. Through this class, I want to participate in writing in Wikipedia and get writing skills. I also want to know the power of collective intelligence that the professor mentioned in the first video.

Also, I think there is something to gain from exchanging opinions with each other. I usually find it difficult to put forward opinions or refute others' opinions, but I expect to gain the ability to comment freely in this class.

    I agree with you. I want to improve my writing skills by editing Wikipedia, too. Also, I want to develop the power to think for myself. I've always envied someone who articulates his opinion.

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'.

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.

Week 5. For example, students will try to conceal their lack of interest in the subject they are studying. What other examples of idealization can we think of?

For example, students will try to conceal their lack of interest in the subject they are studying. What other examples of idealization can we think of? When parents fail to meet their children's expectations, the child experiences frustration. And it is used by children as a material for the same time during the whole Oedipus period and as a material for structuring the self that controls the desire and controls tension. It is natural that an exaggeration of parental importance occurs during this period, which is essentially a time of dependence on parents, while the relationship is based on a desire for a satisfying object. Children form an image of parents who fill everything through their own experience of satisfaction. Idealization changes according to a child's experience of satisfaction, frustration, and anger. Thus, when parents become important regardless of their needs, i.e., when target constancy is established, idealization can be used for increasingly defensive purp...
