Introduction to Sociology /Q&A(9/19)/ Jaehyeon Park

Q.Are humans really rational?
Humans are not rational. Sometimes people are not rational because of their satisfactions or their believes. We don't donate people to get benefits from theirs or help others although we spend many times that can do other things for us. If But because of our believes or heart, so we do something even though they are not helpful to us, so I think humans are not rational.

Q.How does gender inequality influence our lives?

There are gender inequality in company or other sides, women get interfering about promotion and they get discrimination when get a job. And women and men's jobs are fixed in korea, so sometimes people that choice other gender's job they get interupption from other people like parents.

Q.Which theory do you find most interesting?

I think conflict paradigm. Because conflict paradigm is theory about our society's structure has unequaility so we have to compete and change this unequal structure. Usually, I think our society is unequal because rich people get more money and poor people get more famine. So there is a famous word in korea that is 'gold spoon' and 'dirt spoon'. Because of this situation, I think our society need to change to cut this vicious circle. And I learn about this theory, my thought and this theory have something in common.
