 Planning for Project 2

     

Suwon starfield library

Is it accessible to everyone?

This place is an open library and landmark within the complex shopping center Starfield. The library is located on the 4th to 7th floors of the building, making it accessible to many people. What makes this place different from a regular library is that it is not organized for people to read in silence. Therefore, here people are free to talk and chat.

 

Is it possible to stay and observe without attracting attention?

There are many different types of people approaching and taking pictures here, so people are not conscious of observers taking videos or sitting for a long time.

 

what behaviors we are interested in

We are interested in three main things. First, how people behave and use different types of seating in the library. Second, how people behave when they stand and watch instead of sit. Third, the race, age, gender, and other characteristics of library visitors and the groups they bring with them (friends, lovers, or family).

 

How to collect data

we will be observing from the 4th floor, which is where many people stay and pass by. We will continue to observe the library for 30 minutes, and at the same time, we will collect data by taking 15 minutes of video.

 

We want to visit on a weekend when it is most crowded and on a weekday when it is relatively quiet, to observe the characteristics and differences between the two. In fact, we visited the library yesterday (4/28) to observe people during the weekend hours.

 

So, we want to proceed with Project 2 according to the above.

Introduction to our blog

This blog is a digital forum where students from the Spring 2024 class in Everyday Life at Hanyang University in Korea will discuss their weekly readings and activities. For each section of the course, you are expected to post a blog post on relevant readings on our blog here and make a comment on another student's post. An ideal commentary should be about 800 words, divided into three clearly labeled sections in which you: 1) summarize in your own words of materials you read; 2) mention any new, interesting, or unusual items learned; 3) identify at least one question, concern, or discussion angle that is either problematic in some respect or could have been elaborated more. This question is likely to be incorporated into our class discussions. You are allowed to quote an interesting passage from the text(s) you've read, but the quotes will not count toward any length requirements. The blog’s deadline is always: Sunday, midnight, of the week the question is posted. Remember: in

Answers of 3rd class's question

 1. How do we shape our behavior because of others? We put  different personas for each opponent. That's why I think we're doing different things to different opponents. I think it can't be helped because we have to take different postures depending on the opponent's status, condition, etc. . For me, I act different poses to my parents, to my friends and to the professers. I have to 'act' different manners to each. So they look me various ways which i had pretended.  2. What is definations of early or late ? i ansewer depends on Korean culture It is polite to arrive on time or about 10 minutes early for office workers or unfamiliar people. However, it is implicitly allowed for close people to be late to some extent. Korea's unique culture of 빨리빨리[ppali ppali] seems to have made time commitments in office relations thorough. Actually the more earlier, may could be more politer in Korea 3. Why is color black common in Korea clothing? Koreans may not like to be

week 2 classroom questions

w.2 1. I think the team is that everyone has a different division of labor, not only the individual work results, but also the team's results.Everyone in a team has complementary skills to solve problems together to achieve common goals. It's like a family party where the mother will be responsible for shopping, the sister will be responsible for cooking, and the brother will be responsible for setting up the scene. 2. Why do Koreans prefer black clothes?First, I think black clothes are more resistant to dirt than other colors.Second, black is a classic and colorful color, do not choose the body, do not choose the skin color, suitable for various occasions.Third, black clothes can show simplicity and luxury, and can show different styles with various clothing styles, especially black coats and down jackets, which can not only blend into the winter atmosphere of Korea, but also reveal luxury and urbanity in simplicity.
