W3: (Extra credits) Thoughts after reading "The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life" 2 - ‘Believe in the role you play’

 ●W3: Thoughts after reading "The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life"  - ‘Believe in the role you play’.


The big theme discussed in the first chapter of "The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life" is "performance". Expanded with many subtitles to explain various concepts related to performance. Today is about the first chapter-"Believe in the role I play" my own thoughts.


1) Belief

Belief is the psychological foundation of both parties that the entire performance is maintained. But there are two extremes of belief. One is that the performer himself believes in his performance, It's called ‘sincere’. The other is that the performer does not believe it himself, and does not care about whether others believe it or not, thus presenting an image of "cynicism". Cynicism does not have to be self-serving, and there are many examples of how its interests can vary. "Sincere" and "cynicism" as two paragraphs may tend to loop. 


2) The reason people need social and friendship.

If the individual maintains a performance in front of others that he does not believe in, then he may experience a special kind of "self-alienation", and he may also have a special interest in "suspicion" towards others. So in this small part of the chapter I have realized the reasons why people need to be social and friendship. People need an audience to show their flashy selves, and they also need theater class colleagues to gain conspiracy closeness. Perhaps in many cases, we are performing ourselves for others, but whether it is a performer or a role, we will eventually find ourselves in all kinds of dramatic effects.


3) problem: why do people need to perform?

After reading this, I thought about questions, why do people need to perform? How can I find my role? How can you complete an outstanding performance?

W10 : Can we think of some example of how Internet has changed our culture? / 박소민(SOMIN PARK)

 1. Summary  The Internet has changed our culture so much. First, through the Internet, we can meet people regardless of distance. People in each country communicated over the Internet and reduced the barriers to distance by creating relationships. Also, the Internet has let us stay away from books. When we want to find expertise, we can get it from Wikipedia or Google. Even information in books can be obtained through e-books, reducing access to libraries and paper books. 2. Interesting point Further to the above, our brains are gradually degenerating because we don't have to remember information. We are constantly interrupted by SNS notifications ringing on our phones when we do something, so our concentration and attention are being reduced. Furthermore, the ease of obtaining information online is causing our short-term memory to decline. 3. Discussion point I think the Internet has made it easy to sever a relationship with a person because we can meet another person simply...

W7: Review of Good Faith Collaboration / Suyoung Han

  Review of Good Faith Collaboration 1) Summary – Wikipedia from an ethnographic perspective: focusing on collaboration within the community Wikipedia, which is called the world's largest encyclopedia, is an open community and is becoming more and more solid with the participation of various people, conflict, and resolution. In this respect, Joseph M. Reagle Jr. attempted to explain the culture that takes place within Wikipedia. The book describes how Wikipedia was created and what it values. In particular, he described Wikipedia in a book from an ethnographic point of view, and focused on cooperation within the community. 2) Interesting Point – Wikipedia is simple, but not I realized that Wikipedia is not just a site made up of community activities, but rather a collaborative activity that is carried out concretely for the goal. Before I read the book, Wikipedia was an encyclopedia site that only gave me information (even I didn't trust the information), and I thought ...

w9: Its often said by teachers that “Wikipedia is a good place to start, but a bad place to finish” why? LiuXinlei

 Its often said by teachers that “Wikipedia is a good place to start, but a bad place to finish” why? In terms of the comprehensiveness of the content, we have to admit the advantages of Wikipedia. For example, Wikipedia is undoubtedly my first choice when I don't understand an event at all. It is convenient, fast and comprehensive, and I can spend the least time to understand the whole content of this fact as comprehensively and neutrally as possible. But in the process of in-depth learning, Wikipedia can only be used as an introductory content, because in learning we need to understand this fact as much as possible, and we need to understand the different views of scholars in different regions on the same event. There will be different theories. Some theories seem to be not neutral or even discriminatory or ethnographic at present (such as Marxism and Marxism in China), and it is not suitable for Wikipedia. Be shown. In short, Wikipedia has a very low threshold for users. It assu...
