W1.2 March 8th--GUO YING

 1. Summary

After reading the article, I understand that sociology primarily studies society, human behavior, and social interactions. It encompasses knowledge of social structure, human behavior, and communication, constituting a study of the entire human society. 

Sociology emerged in the 19th century, evolving from classical thought to modern theory, spanning the ongoing changes in society. Its inception stemmed from curiosity and concern about social change, issues, and human behavior, as well as the need for systematic study of human society. 

Studying sociology can enhance people's understanding of social structures, human behavior, and cultural differences, improve their ability to analyze problems and address social challenges, and promote both personal and societal development and change.

2. What was interesting

What I find fascinating about studying sociology is the ability to delve deeply into individual human behavior, explaining why people act the way they do. It helps me better understand myself. Exploring the social relationships between humans and society, as well as the intricate structures within society, provides me with a clear understanding of social structures. This enables me to deeply understand the differences between cultures, trends in societal change, and the interactions between individuals and society. Consequently, it broadens my perspective, enhances my cultural literacy, and deepens my understanding of the world.

3.Disscussion

As society evolves, how should sociology utilize the rapid changes in society and address modern social issues?

How do students define sociology, and how can sociology help us in modern society?

Students may define sociology as the science of studying human social behavior and organization, which helps us understand societal changes, social inequalities, cultural differences, and offers guidance and solutions in modern society.

The Spirit Behind Wikipedia: Collaboration, Talk, and Trust- WANG YIKE 2.1

In a world overflowing with online information, Wikipedia stands out—not just for its vast range of content, but for how it is created. After watching “Why Wikipedia” and “How to Leave (and Read) a Wikipedia Talk Message,” and reading the introduction materials from Joseph Reagle’s Good Faith Collaboration, I’ve come to see that Wikipedia is more than a website—it’s a community built on trust, transparency, and a shared belief in the value of open knowledge. The “Why Wikipedia” video explains that Wikipedia is driven by a radical idea: anyone can edit. This openness has obvious risks, but surprisingly, it works. Why? Because Wikipedians follow a core principle called “good faith.” The idea is that editors assume others are acting with good intentions. They might disagree or make mistakes, but they are seen as partners in a shared mission, not enemies. This idea of good faith collaboration is explored deeply in Reagle’s writings. In the Foreword, Lawrence Lessig praises Wikipedia as an ...

China and Globalization The relationship between China and globalization is one of the most significant themes in 21st-century international politics, economics, and cultural exchange.
