 Summary:

Social structure refers to the enduring and relatively stable pattern of relationships between different entities or groups, and reflects the division of society into groups or roles with different functions, meanings or purposes. Social stratification, for example, is an expression of the division of society into different classes based on differences such as race, class, disability or gender. These structures determine the actions of social agents, both individuals and organizations, and shape the way they behave. Social structure not only influences important institutions such as the economy, law, politics and culture, but also encompasses a wide range of aspects such as family, religion, law, economics and social class. Social structure is therefore a central issue in management and social research, serving as a parent system that embraces the various subsystems embedded within it.

What I Learned

By learning about the concept of social structure and how to analyze it, we can more acutely identify and understand systemic biases and inequalities in society. This helps us to promote social change for a more just and equitable social development.

Social structure is a complex and important concept that reveals the relationships and interactions between social agents. However, we also need to be aware of the limitations of the analysis of social structure and continue our efforts to develop more comprehensive theories and methods to reveal the truth about social life.

    Ensuring ethical and moral research practices in social structure analysis, especially when handling sensitive information or group disparities, involves several key steps:

    1.Informed Consent
    2.Anonymity and Confidentiality
    3.Minimization of Harm
    4.Respect for Autonomy
    5.Fairness and Impartiality
    By adhering to these principles and practices, researchers can help ensure that their social structure analysis is conducted ethically and morally, respecting the rights and dignity of all involved.

    Take necessary measures to ensure that the personal information of the research subjects will not be leaked or misused. Using technologies such as anonymization and data encryption, as well as limiting access to data, are effective ways to protect privacy.

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.
