👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Apa Sih 'Sosiologi' Itu Sebenarnya? #BelajardiRumah

Do you still remember this movement? Thousands of students from all over Indonesia went down to the street facing the tear gas to shout anger. People call it the biggest action after 98. But indeed, the 98 incident itself is much bigger. At that time, all Indonesian prisoners were involved. Until many victims fell. At that time, the smell of hatred felt like we could kiss in the air.

But, such a big movement is not only happening in Indonesia. There was a French Revolution that gave birth to the concept of freedom and equality that we know until now. There was a Bolshevik Revolution that formed the Soviet Union even though it collapsed again. And until the Middle East, there was a semi-Arabian Revolution where its people fell into the dictatorial government.

Now, what makes us think is how to explain why the events can happen? Or is all the mess that was actually can be predicted? But calm, if physics can explain the origin of the universe, social science can also explain the problem before. Now we need to sharpen the initiative because after this we will come to all corners of the city and see how people talk to each other. This is Sociology.

Simply, sociology can be interpreted as glasses Not ordinary glasses, but sophisticated glasses that can see different characters of the community For example, there are villagers whose people are very close On the other hand, there are also people who are more cool to spend their days Then there are also people who are always annoying

By looking at it with the glasses, the analysis results from what we see can be released. From there, it's even more interesting to dig deeper. Sociology helps us to be able to answer questions. Why can people have different problems when they are together? And even more than that. The original purpose until there is sociology science is because we are curious about human behavior. Yes, similar to psychology which both discuss human, but in a wider scale.

Thanks to sociology, we now know what can determine our habits and habits every day. The attachment of the Western tradition in our country makes almost everyone eat with their right hand. The colonial rule of the past makes us always see what is more cool abroad. The origin of the idea that men must be men and women must be women makes the work space in our country is not yet equal for men and women.

And not only that, because now technology is constantly changing our lives, sociology is a figure who can help us so we don't get confused facing the changes of the times. Because when we can observe the patterns of behavior of the people, we will be able to see it more critically. From there, we can know the right way to find solutions and problems.

But, surely, this sophisticated glasses didn't just appear suddenly. Sociology has gone through a long journey so that this glasses can be as sophisticated as it is now. Therefore, let's try to use this glasses to see the path of sociology until today. The journey started since the industrial revolution. The change from planting to hunting factories makes the people happy to be social class. The rich and the poor.

Many philosophers are curious about the new condition of this society Until the science called sociology was born Since then, sociology has been taught in the campuses Until it became the basis of science to make government regulations Because of the Second World War and political revolution everywhere Sociology continues to give birth to many new theories to try to understand the people

Now, human challenges extend from climate change, intolerance that is becoming more and more, the advance of the digital economy, to overpopulation. But sociology still exists as a solution. Because in any problem, as long as there is a community, sociology will always be useful.

Now, digital technology opens a new stage for sociology. Yes, same as physics that was born after the discovery of telescopes and biology that developed after being found by a microscope. Previously, we did not have a telescope or a microscope as great as to observe the pattern of human behavior. But through the internet, now we have it all gathered in the ocean of numbers called Big Data.

Maybe we don't realize how deep it is in our daily lives. In fact, all our actions and attitudes are recorded by digital technology. The places we come to and all the roads we cross are marked by the GPS system on our cellphones. Our daily money-exploitation pattern is recorded by electronic wallets and digital banks that we have. Even all our feelings and thoughts are accompanied by these applications that we use every day.

All of this, we can prove it directly by exploring the application. What you see there is the content that is designed specifically for us by observing our habits on the internet. With digital technology, sociology research can be revolutionized. Sociologists no longer have to study manually, interview people one by one, even maybe no longer need to observe any other behavior. Because it's all recorded by itself.

But the problem is, the internet and big data can do more than that. Not only for research, by knowing our habits and knowing what we like and dislike, the information we receive can be controlled. Finally, we can be controlled by the irresponsible party up there to do what they want.

In the future, this will be even more scary. On the day when humans have mastered big data, maybe that's when we won't meet anyone else who is not free.

We can't be left behind in following the development of this era. And that includes in sociology. And it's important for us not only to rely on what he gets at school. For example, like Mrs. Inaya Rahmani. Since she was still sitting at the school bench, she has been reading social science books that are not included in the curriculum. From there, I feel like I want to know Mrs. Inaya in social science always develops. Which led her to graduate from the S3 at a young age.

She continues to study and read, and does not stop at books, but also various other media that have an impact on social change. Do sociologists have to understand other fields? I give an example, I myself am actually a media sociologist. So what I study is television programs, mobile phone applications that are often used by people,

What are the effects of music, fashion, and social change on a wider social level? As a social media expert, I will investigate and discuss about the polarization of the "chebom" and "kamprek" in social media to explain the conservatization of religion and politics.

Understanding the basics of sociology is not the point. In a world that is full of diversity and differences, we still can't get rid of the fact that humans are social creatures. Sociology answers all our curiosity. How can humans live together without war? How can we live more peacefully and together, even though we are different in religion, skin color,

With many different perspectives, sociology tries to unravel the puzzle of what has been hidden in the society.

With various ways of looking at what sociology offers, we can see the problems in the community more clearly. And from there, more appreciate the differences there. If sociology had never been found, maybe the world would feel darker and we never understand anything about all the troubles that happen out there. Trapped in that situation without knowing what to do.

From the last psychology video, we already know that the human brain is the most mysterious object in the universe. And every human produces so much data. And the name of the community, it contains a lot of humans. The latest journey of sociology has just begun.

So, we've walked halfway through the series of "How to Explain This?" We've seen how all the knowledge is really related to each other to perfect each other. And we will find that very clearly in this episode.

Because there we will meet a combination of two sciences that seem to have no relation Social science and mathematics So, until we meet again in science that helps us make very rational and calculated decisions By how to make us get the maximum results with minimal effort Yes, economics Science
