East Asia Film and Literature

As we have seen, the Chinese and Japanese idea of a demon or ghost (Chinese gui/Japanese oni) can vary widely in the stories we’ve seen. How would you variously define these creatures, based on our readings? Factors you might wish to consider in answering that question: How do they relate to the world of the living? Can these examples of ghosts tell us anything about Chinese and Japanese concepts of death and the afterlife? Another perspective on this: how do these texts view interactions between the human world and the world of ghosts? Are they always negative, or can good come of them? What factors might affect a “good” interaction and a “bad” one?

1000-1 The Sociology Of Your Name

/in /by

Complete a 2-3 page sociological analysis of your name, looking at how your naming may have been impacted by culture, gender, and time period.

Introduction

Sociology is interested in better understanding the social contexts of our social lives. Much of what we experience in life is impacted by the culture in which we live. The ways of life found around the world differ, not only in forms of dress, preferred foods, and musical tastes, but also in family patterns and beliefs about right and wrong. These differences can be attributed to cultureour collective beliefs, values, and objects. While we oftentimes see names as a reflection of who we are as individuals, they are the product of larger social forces. Using your sociological imagination, you can reflect on your name and how it is impacted by culture.

Note: Many resources will be coming from The Society Pages blog. While it is good to question the validity of most blogs, The Society Pages contains blog posts from experts in the field of sociology and thus have higher validity.
