Summary)
 
Gender and Sex are different unlike what we used to know. Gender is associated with society, sex is associated with biology.
There are Cisgender and Transgender. Cisgender is a human who coincident biology sex and gender with sociology sex and gender.
And there are clear physiological differences between the two sexes. Because yet how or why these differences develop is unknown, differences could be explained by two ways. Scientific disciplines argue that biological distinctions create these differences. More progressive and diverse scientific communities argue that these differences reflect existing gender inequalities.
Gender differences vary by society, environment. Men and women’s differences involve work and occupations. Women have earned less income than Men nevertheless in modern society women educated and skilled like men. Another difference between men and women is educational attainment. Alike thing mentioned in the front, for a long time, men have educated than women.
Sexism is discrimination against people. Sexism is based on four beliefs: there are only two sexes,  one sex is superior to the others, men and women are very different and that this should be strongly reflected in society, language, the right have sex and the law, it can also refer to simple hatred of men or women or trans people.
About gender differences, there are some theories: Gender Socialization, Structural Functionalism, Conflict Theory, Feminist Theory.
 
Race is difference in some way from other humans. Individuals are classified into a racial group rather than their social group. On the other hand, ethnicity refers social traits. Ethnicity focuses more on group member’s past and culture shared in past.
Races were distinguished by skin color, facial type, cranial profile and size, texture and color of hair but the time goes on, definitions of race have changed.
About race, it is understood by two types. One is that race is a social construct. It is based on artificial distinction created by humans. The other is that race is based on nature (fuzzy sets, clusters, extended families).
Racism can be divided to some ways. Individual-level racism, structural racism, cultural racism, historical racism, racial profiling, color-blind racism, genocide.
 
Mention & Question)
 
Racism is a really bad things. In Korea, cognizing racism is maybe difficult so maybe we don’t think racism deeply. But in other country like USA, maybe it is very serious problem. Confliction between Black and White can be easily heard by newspaper. Sometimes it result in murder. It make trouble and disrupt social integration.
What’s happen if there is no racism? The crime arising by hostility of other race is not existed. Not discovered talent people because of racism decrease. So racism is ultimately disappeared.
About racism, I have one question. Do you think racism occurs in our society?

  1. I think racism has happened in our society. Today, children in multi-cultural families remain discriminated against, although they are Korean born in Korea. Also, when we look at foreigners whose skin is slightly dark than us, we think of illegal immigrant. I think that this is a racial discrimination that occurs within our society.

  3. I will answer your question.
    Racism exists in our society.
    There are also discriminatory and derogatory terms in Korea that refer to foreigners.
    Some people sometimes use discriminatory words in the presence of foreigners.
    Although it has improved compared to the past, Korean society still has a different perspective on foreigners, especially Southeast Asia and black people.

  4. Yes, racism is occuring in our society. For example, there is discrimination about Southeast Asian. The most Southeast Asian come to Korea to earn money. But many Southeast Asian doesn't get working visa. They are illegals. This weakness is weapon of Korean employers. Korean employers exploit illegals by using weakness of they and give a little pay.
    And most countries of Southeast Asia are developing countries. These things intensify discrimination about Southeast Asian.
