Introduction to Sociology/Culture/Jiyoon Hong

Summary

After I read this article, I'm very hesitated for summary about culture.
In fact, cultures can be defined based on many perspective like social ideas, values,
behaviors. However, in commonly, all of cultures are created by human that changes environment and adjusts their instincts. So my definition of culture is form of behavior in a society.

Culture has two effect to society. One is positive effect like making fellowship or share their mode of living. On the other hands, there is negative effect. Racial discrimination is the most representative effect.

Lastly, cultures have still changed according human's lifestyle.


What was interesting

I'm interesting about Korean culture.
Korean culture is deeply based on nationalism and ethnocentrism.
Because of this, we are unable to adapt ourselves to multi-cultural society.


Discussion

1. How can we solve problem of ethnocentrism to saving our own identity?
