1.summary


Social structure refers to a lasting relationship or bond between individuals or groups of individuals.The social structure influences important social systems such as economic system, legal system, political system and cultural system.The family, religion, law, economy and social class are all social structures.The "social system" is the parent system of the various systems embedded in it.It is believed that social systems arise out of larger systemic needs and are naturally formed.Others argue that this structuralization is not the result of natural processes, but of social constructions.


2.What I Learned


This article provides a detailed introduction and analysis of the social structure.It is understood that the social structure can be divided into micro-sociology micro-structure and macro-sociology macro-structure.Giddens's theory emphasizes the duality between structure and agent, that is, structure and agent cannot be separated from each other.Boudier's theory of practice also seeks a more flexible explanation, in which social structures are embedded in individual behavior rather than in determining it.


3.Questions


The concept of social structure may mask systemic biases, such as gender.How does social structure affect individual behavior?What do we do when confronted with systemic bias?

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. As the world's second-largest economy and the largest developing country, China plays multiple roles in the globalization process: as a beneficiary, a driver, and a participant in shaping the rules.   Historical Background   Reform and Opening-Up & Globalization   China's adoption of the reform and opening-up policy in 1978 marked the beginning of its full integration into the globalization process.
