(extra) WEEK 5. Are students giving gifts to professors trying to bribe them into getting better grades?

In the past, I've often seen articles about taking bribes and manipulating grades. Of course, there have been reports recently that high-ranking officials have bribed their children for their children's grades, but not as many as before. I think it is because the law on bribery has been strengthened and there is also a defense of people's perceptions. I think society has changed a lot to make people feel guilty about the grades they get in the wrong way. Therefore, it is not common for students to bribe students to get good grades. 

However, it seems that there are still many students who cheat. In particular, as the number of non-face-to-face exams increases due to Corona 19, there are many students who do not take the exam properly. The non-face-to-face test is a special case conducted due to COVID-19. As a countermeasure against this has not been adequately prepared yet, it seems that the punishment for unfair behavior is not properly implemented. I think it is necessary to think about this.

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 othe

Week4) Review about my Interaction Assignment

  The place I have been observed is a café. The café involves a few tables and chairs. It is well designed for the outsiders to get interested.  When I was there, two kinds of people were in this place. They were the clerk and the customers.    The clerk welcomed the visitors politely and made some beverage and dessert. She was in smile for all the time facing the customers and mostly dressed in tidy clothes. After she got the orders, she stayed in the kitchen, which is staff only, taking a rest and looking at the CCTV occasionally. A few hours later, the other clerk got into the kitchen for the rotation.    Besides, in the main room of the café, the customers sit around the tables. Some of them drank coffee and tea talking about their boring life. Some worked with their stuff very silently. And others played the board games making loud noise. In specific, there were two people sitting in front of me. They were a teacher and a student. The student bought a cup of coffee for the teacher

Week4) Review about my Interaction Assignment

 I often just listen the conversation of next table in cafe, restaurant, pub..etc. But I have never observed other people in attention. It was fun to me doing observation others with my friends. I talk with my friends "What happen next?", "Is he success?" Watching the process of one guy picking up other lady gives us tensions. And I learned there are many interactions that can be explained by Goffman's dramaturgy theory.  So from now on, I'll give more attention about other people's conversations, acts, interactions and substitute theories I learned in this course.
