W2. How do human rights make our lives better? / Juhee Cha

Before answering the question, I was curious about the 'human right', so I looked it up using Wikipedia. The link below is attached.

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights

 *Summary
Human rights are principles or norms that describe the standards of human behavior. It is also legally protected. This is an inalienable human right. The common classification of human rights is divided into civil and political rights and economic, social and cultural rights. Without civil and political rights, it is said that the person cannot claim economic, social and cultural rights.

 *Interesting point
How does human rights make our lives better? We become educated by trying to protect human rights on our own. This seems to be a similar principle to when I commented on 'social development'. To protect human rights, we study and advocate human rights. Through education, we can use opportunities in the right way, and if our lives improve, it becomes a social development. In other words, I think trying to protect human rights is linked to social development.

 *Discussion
Has human rights been violated in Korea (or in your nationality)? How can we solve the case to make our lives better?

    Discrimination issues occur not only in Korea but also all over the world. In South Korea, some people discriminate against Southeast Asians, and because of corona virus, Asians discriminated against overseas. I think this comes from the idea that I am superior to others. We must continue to discuss and criticize these events because they happen in spite of education. Focusing on them in the media, we should continue to create an atmosphere that they are wrong.

THE ROLE OF ETHNIC GROUPS IN SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT / Kim Ami

1.      Summary This paper critically considers the role of ethnic groups in the social development of Third World countries. Social development is a concept that can only be said when economic development and collective mobilization and action are combined. Writer say that economic development is essential, but that it should have certain social goals because it can lead to some undesirable consequences. In other words, it should be considered from the perspective of Gross National Honourability and social development rather than from the perspective of growth rate of GNP.

Summary Human rights are the basic right to live as a person. This is an absolute domain. Applicable regardless of ethnicity, gender, age, or location and guaranteed by international law.
