W9.1 Demography / Juhee Cha


1.Summary
Demographics covers studying how the population changes over time. This analysis is also linked to society as a whole, education, religion and ethnicity. Demographics are useful data to describe various sociological phenomena. Demographics depends on large datasets. Large data sets over a long period of time are required to develop trends in demographic indicators such as birth and mortality. In many countries, especially in developing countries, reliable demographics are still difficult to obtain. In some areas, this may be due to the link between census and taxation. Overpopulation refers to cases where the proportion of population to resources is too high. Population and resources are closely related. Urbanization is also talked about through the movement of the population. Urbanization is also associated with the sociological process of modernization, industrialization and rationalization, in cases of moving from rural to urban areas.

2. Interesting Point
It is interesting to note that population decline and increase are not merely numerical data, but are interpreted as factors or consequences of social phenomena to form a correlation. Looking at the characteristics of the population in a particular society, one can see what kind of society it took. As an example of Korea, a large number of new towns are being developed in the Seoul metropolitan area, which shows that the population is increasingly concentrated in the metropolitan area. Population growth rates also represent the changing values and mindset of modern people. It is interesting that we can see society through demographics.

3. Discussion
As mentioned above, we can see the correlation between various social phenomena through our population. Is there another case that links population to social phenomena?

Interesting point I knew that international politics was carried out in a complex and selfish atmosphere. However, upon encountering the MDGs, I learned that the international community is making great efforts to ensure human rights. Among the MDG criticisms, criticism of women's inequality was interesting. The phenomenon of female ineq...

What is meant by that? / Lee hayoung

Q. Society is not determined by technology, nor is technology determined by society. Both emerge as two sides of the sociotechnical coin. What is meant by that? A. So to begin with, I think that society and technology are the relationships that influence each other, the concepts that one cannot include or dominate. There is technology in society, and technology exists because there is society. I think it's an inseparable relationship, so I think it can be expressed in both sides of a coin.
