Introduction to Sociology/Race and Ethnicity/Sujin LEE

1. Summary
 Race is classified as physical differences such as skin color and facial characteristics. Racial identity is associated with social identity. Race means not only physical characteristics but also social characteristics shared by a nation. It was ancient Egypt that began to divide mankind into races. 
 Some sociologists and biologists think race is a social construct. Some researchers and historians say that the use of racial standards has been used by the European Americans to rule. There is a genetic difference between races. Therefore, there are many diseases that are often caused by racial diseases.  Racism is also a reason for prejudice and discrimination. This is racism.

2. Interesting point
  found out that there are diseases that can be easily carried out by racial diseases.

3.  Discussion point
  Is Nationalism an idea that should be criticized? We always be taught to have Multiculturalism. But, I think Nationalism do not need to be always criticized.

  1. Regarding your question, I do not always think that self-centeredism is bad. Cultural centrism has the advantage of good ethnic unity, but be careful of extreme self - culturalism. It makes society harmful.

  2. It is right to love your nation.
    But if it is over-emphasized, it becomes a nation-centered state.
    Nation-centricism is a dangerous idea.
    The ethnic centrists reject other peoples and harass weak countries.
    That's why I think nationalism is not okay.
