Project one 'Interaction observation'

 Situation 1. 

In 2020, many people reveal their own desire and dark side in front stages. Because of covid – 19, in new normal life ,they are tired to be gentle. I thought this situation shows how back stage comes out of front stage. 

 

Regions: front(public place)

I think every public place is front stage. People share the place and face lots of people in there. 

 

Descriptions: 

Because of covid – 19, most of Korean wear their mask outside. Also, in Korea wearing a mask is a sociological rule and if someone didn’t wear it, it’s really odd action. We call it “민폐(minphyeo)” in Korean. On the street, I was a audienceand other people who passing by was non-personby Erving Goffman’s dramaturgy theory. Suddenly, person A came out from the restaurant without a face mask. In this situation person B who is spotter, frown her or his face, move far away from him or her and leave the road quickly. I saw Goffman’s sociological dramaturgy in this condition. Person B who is ‘frown her or his face, far away from person A who is not wearing a facial mask, and leave the place quickly’, tried to realigning actionsto person A. Person A sending a message through motions.

Week4 extra) About interaction assignment

The Interaction Assignment. What did you do? What did you learn? Was it fun?  I conducted a Breaching experiment for project 1. I was in a situation where I couldn't carry out my observations face-to-face. So I did an experiment using Kakao Talk, and this was the difference from Goffman. I broke the promise of my relationship with my friend through Kakao Talk. I replied coldly and badly to my friend(participant), who always exchanged friendly words. And my friend thought I had a complaint or something was wrong. It was the same view that Goffman looked at individuals who broke the rules in society. It was the first observation experiment, and the process of organizing the experiment was not easy. Also, it was hard to read English books, understand the contents, and do an experiment. However, I think I was able to realize and learn the meaning of the violation experiment. The reaction was also interesting after he told his friend that the experiment was a violation.

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 ...

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 ot...
