Blogging through Sociology of Globalization (2020)

 The lifestyle of modern people is a fairly broad concept. It includes people's material and spiritual life and other related aspects such as clothing, food, housing, transportation, work, rest and entertainment, social communication, and dealing with people and things. Life style is also a historical category that changes with the development of society. People of different classes and occupations in different historical periods have different lifestyles. In short, lifestyle changes directly or indirectly reflect and affect a person's ideology and values. With the improvement of the degree of social democracy and the continuous development and progress of society, people’s lifestyles are also very different from before. From the aspect of clothing, people nowadays are no longer satisfied with decades or even hundreds of years. In the past, people only need to have clothing and clothes. People pay more attention to their taste, level, and suitability. From the aspect of food, t...

 In fact, the quality of life of the people in ancient times was closely related to the dynasty they lived in. Strictly speaking, if they were born in a prosperous age, even ordinary people would not be able to live a life of good quality, but they would not be hungry and cold. In 1368 AD, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of Ming Dynasty established the Ming Dynasty in Nanjing after completely defeating the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty. Although it has been recorded in many historical materials, Zhu Yuanzhang was an uncertain and cruel emperor. But what surprised later scholars was that the people living in the Ming Dynasty were very happy. If you analyze this issue from a historical perspective, you can find that it is actually closely related to Zhu Yuanzhang's life experience. Since Zhu Yuanzhang had always been from the bottom of society when he was a child, he had been a beggar and a monk in order to feed himself. So in comparison, he is more able to understand the sufferings of the peop...

 In traditional Chinese concepts, the so-called history often refers to the history of the court and the history of plots. To put it bluntly, it is the family history of emperors and generals. This is easy for ordinary history readers to understand that a few big figures and important events constitute the main body of history, and there is nothing ordinary people in them. Of course, ordinary people's daily life is even less worth mentioning. This is actually a misunderstanding. Although the emperors and generals and important events occupy an important position in history, in comparison, ordinary people and their daily lives are not only equally important, but also an integral part of history—— Because the daily life of ordinary people is the normal state of history, showing the basic face of history. Mr. Yi Yongwen's "Daily Life in Ming Dynasty Society" is a work that uses civic literature such as novels, operas and historical evidence to describe the food, clothing...

 The consumption that Busia talks about happens in daily life. Daily life "is not just the sum of daily actions, not just the mediocre and repetitive dimensions: it is a system of interpretation," Baudrillard J., The Consumer Society: Myths and Structures, London, Thousand Oaks, New Delhi: Sage Publications , 1998, pp. 34-35, 47. Or it is a meaning system that follows coding rules, and the subject or individual is an effect of this system. Busia declared that in the simulation stage, the rational subject of consciousness corresponding to the industrialized era has ended, and replaced by the unconscious rule dominated by coding. ⑦Baudrillard J., Symbolic Exchange and Death, London, Thousand Oaks, New Delhi: Sage Publications, 1993, p.23, 42. Busia clearly pointed out that there is no individualized subject in the Sartre sense, "subject" and "Identity of the self" is nothing but a myth of the order of production, and even such a mythical imagination has no p...

 In the 1960s and 1970s, facing the mainstream sociological discourse woven by positivism and structural functionalism, Garfunkel's ordinary human methodology tried to subvert his rule from the perspective of daily life practice. In his view, mainstream sociology's formal analysis of the model of social order obtained by quantitative technology is only a general representation theory, but mainstream sociology mistakenly regards the order reconstructed by this theory as objective. really. ⑦⑧⑨Garfinkel H., Ethnomethodology's Program: Working Out Durkheim's Aphorism, Lanham, Boulder, New York, Oxford: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc., 2002, p.66, 97, 140, 148. On the contrary, Garfinkel requires Going back to the specific situations of daily life, there is no mystery hidden behind the collective practice of local daily life. “Ordinary people’s methodology does not engage in the work of interpreting signs”, ⑦though social order requires language To clarify, but the...

 In the field of sociology, early theorists such as Simmel and Mead did not lack attention to daily life, but their research failed to promote mainstream sociology to focus on daily life, and for contemporary sociology In terms of daily life, their influence is mostly indirect and vague (Goffman's sociological theory may be an exception). In contrast, the phenomenological tradition has a completely different meaning for this turn. It either constitutes an important source of thought in the sociology of daily life, or becomes an object of attack, but more often it is both. Yes. The reason for this is largely due to Husserl’s elucidation of the concept of the life world, as well as the enrichment and development of Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty’s concept, and Schütz became the concept of An important starting point for introducing sociology. Although Husserl put life-world as a core concept in his transcendental phenomenology very late, his early developments under the headings of inte...

 The bond between hands and feet is a kind of lasting love. Brothers and sisters are the only ones who accompany us for a long time in our journey of life. Although there will be quarrels and unhappiness between brothers and sisters, they will forgive each other after all. Accompanied by something pure, strong, and beautiful, a kind of instinctive gratitude comes from the blood connection we share. We are a collective, a noisy, chaotic, but loyal and loving long-term collective. We can support and rely on each other. The interesting point is that the black hawk will incubate all its young birds, and then stand aside and watch the larger young birds win the fight against the smaller ones, tear them to pieces, and then return to the nest to grow up safely.  The piglets are born with strangely convex teeth. When they are competing for feeding sites, they will use their teeth to attack each other.There is no difference between us humans and animals. After we were born, we started ...

 We need face-to-face interaction to learn how to give selflessly and create spiritual food such as friendship, love, trust and loyalty to redeem our loneliness. When we pay too much attention to "me" but not much "we", we will find that we ourselves become very fragile, fearful and lonely. The easiest way to guard the future of "you" is to strengthen our future, our relationship, our identity and our responsibilities from three dimensions. Interestingly, through this video, I learned that we are surrounded by people who are similar to us. If we are surrounded by people who hold the same opinions as us, we will become more extreme. Facing people of different colors from yourself, you can communicate with each other, collide, impact and heal each other. https://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-we-can-face-the-future-without-fear-together-rabbi-lord-jonathan-sacks/review_open#question-2

Observe when people come to the restaurant and choose seats, order Observation location: restaurant Observer: Cai Xiaohua How to observe: Working part-time in a restaurant for three weeks, two days a week How to record: Record it on the notebook the same day after observation Observation record the first week on Monday At six when I first arrived at the restaurant, as a whole, I saw only a table of guests eating. The guests at that table are three men, about thirty years old. They were sitting at the big table, they probably had finished eating, they didn't eat any more, they were chatting. The plate on the table was empty, and no other food was ordered. It didn't take long for them to leave. From 6:35 to 7:10, the guests are a family. A couple, a little girl and grandparents. They sat down at the big table and ordered tea and started to see what food to order. The father was in charge of the order, and the mother was filtering the tableware and tableware with hot water. The fa...

  This society is a big stage, and each of us plays a role in the society.Goffman regards interaction as a performance between individuals. In Goffman's view, society is a big stage, and a "playwright" is a social system. Every individual is a performer on the stage. The performance of the performer and the audience's reaction must obey certain explicit rules or implicit rules. Rules, these rules and the performer ’ s social experience constitute the performer ’ s mind, define the interactive context of the performance and guide the performer ’ s behavior. Performers create a certain impression to the audience through their physical performance on the stage, and constantly understand and use various symbolic postures and signs of the body to create the desired impression, so as to maintain normal interaction, build social structure, and make social order normal operation. Goffman believes that in interpersonal communication, people always express themselves through be...

It turns out that drinking milk can cause cancer, but the video shows that this is an unfounded claim. This statement is not valid. I like drinking milk very much now, but when I was young, I was very resistant to milk because my mother forced me to drink milk every day. Maybe because I was a child, I didn’t understand the nutritional needs, but for adults. I don’t like drinking milk anymore. But after growing up, I found that drinking milk has many benefits: it can promote calcium absorption and help grow taller, improve physical fitness, supplement protein and so on. Of course the taste is also very good, However, you should not drink too much milk in a day, preferably between 250ml and 500ml. If you drink too much milk, the human body cannot digest it, so milk cannot be drunk as water. Do you like to drink milk?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oakWgLqCwUc

 We often have some negative emotions. When we see that others are good, we are envious and inferior. Why are we not good? Get the interesting point through the video: the special medicine for dissatisfaction-gratitude. Reciprocity may evolve into biological signals that motivate animals for mutual benefit. When your brain recognizes that someone has done a good thing for you, gratitude will make you take action to thank each other. This kind of gratitude makes you care about others and makes others care about you. Because as the human brain gets better at reading emotions, selfish weirdos will be remembered and isolated, and coexistence with others becomes an evolutionary advantage and builds lasting relationships. Secondly, gratitude stimulates the brain circuit to feel rewarded, builds social bonds, and interprets the intentions of others, and also makes it easy to preserve and retrieve positive memories. What's more, gratitude directly offsets negative emotions and traits, like...

 The development of globalization is not single, and the pace of investment in globalization varies from place to place, and not everyone benefits from globalization. Therefore, there are endless disputes about globalization. The history of globalization is not short, but in the past two to three decades, various new developments in globalization have brought about new situations and new controversies around the world. The various controversies in this course are also the focus of this course. Breakthroughs in information technology and shipping technology have greatly reduced geographical restrictions. Today, the global real-time flow of information and capital has been basically realized; the speed of the flow of people and logistics continues to increase, the cost continues to fall, and the international political barriers are rapidly dissolving after the Cold War, and global activities have greatly increased. All kinds of new situations are opened. Economic production and consu...

From the development of globalization today, as well as the competition between the impetus and the counterforce, everyone understands the complexity of globalization. Globalization is certainly a general trend, but different groups, organizations, and countries have invested in globalization at different paces, and the benefits and losses they face are also different. The following are the contradictions and conflicts seen in globalization.  North-South conflict The so-called "Northern countries" (that is, the northern hemisphere) dominated by developed countries are in contradiction with the so-called "Southern countries" (that is, the southern hemisphere) dominated by backward countries. Due to differences in the degree of development, developed countries are generally better able to obtain more economic benefits in globalization, while the economies of backward countries tend to stagnate. Increasing globalization and the growing gap between the rich and the poor...

 The push and resistance of globalization It can be seen from the history of globalization that globalization is not a natural and irreversible development. Even today, we can also find that some individuals, groups, and organizations are promoting globalization, and there are other individuals, groups, and organizations that are resisting globalization. Those who promote globalization generally benefit from globalization, or believe in the value of globalization. Those who resist globalization are naturally those who cannot benefit from globalization, or they deny the value of globalization.   The main promoter of globalization Multinational corporations - In the process of outsourcing, the production process is dispersed to all parts of the world; in the process of promotion and sales, the products are sold to all parts of the world. International organizations-through arbitration and agreements, coordinate the policies of different countries, and through the provision of st...

 We observe the world through the perspective of subjective thinking.  What I find interesting through the video is:  1. How the eyes work. The amount of information that our vision has at any given moment is actually very small. We guarantee high sharpness, clarity and accuracy. The visible range is equivalent to the size of a thumbs up when the arm is straightened. Everything around this area is blurred, causing most Everything that appears in the eyes is blurred. But we must recognize it to recognize what we see. This is where the brain will help us fill in the missing information, and as a result, the feeling becomes very subjective. This is how we observe through the perspective of subjective thinking. 2. The perspective of thinking also affects our actions. For example, if you want to maintain your figure through exercise, at the same end point, people who are better in shape will feel closer than those who are out of shape. People with strong motivation to exercise...

 Beauty is not tangible, but the happy feeling in our minds. If we have to define it, we can define beauty in color, shape, and size, which is pleasant or attractive to us. Beauty is a human experience, and early humans made tools into teardrop shapes just because they look good. Human beings have some inherent consensus on beauty, and these patterns are rooted in nature. We feel good when we see beautiful things. Seeing beautiful things, through the brain's motivation system to get no dangerous factors, we will feel comfortable. Beauty can promote our overall happiness. Studies have shown that personal happiness also comes from how beautiful the city you live in. Reference:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-O5kNPlUV7w

 In this era when people are most closely connected with others, many people still feel lonely. In fact, loneliness is not terrible. 1. Know that everyone feels lonely. This is a normal phenomenon, and it is not because of your own problems. People usually feel lonely when going through major life transitions, especially when they are turning for the better. If you are embarking on the path of exploring a new life, loneliness is destined to accompany you because you haven't found anyone who has the same goals as you. 2. Loneliness and aloneness are not the same thing. Loneliness is when you don't want to be alone. And alone you are willing to be alone. If you desire to be with others, then you are not alone. You can find people who can communicate with you and get close to you. 3. Join an online community. Sometimes this method works well. Share your thoughts and experiences, and communicate more with people who have similar experiences. Through online forums, we can help other...
