W2: What do you think ‘Social development’ means?/Lee joon hee
I think 'social development' is the 'development of the consciousness of the citizens' living in society. Society is formed by people gathering together. Because people gathered, their own norms, rules and customs were created, and I think that technology can be developed and a culture can be formed based on them. In other words, the development of a society is the same as the development of its members.
So what are the criteria for 'development'? I want to base my perception on people. Will we respond to social issues or problems arising in such areas as human rights, environment, politics, law and ethics just like those of the past? It won't. More than in the past, people have begun to pay attention and question various social issues, and this move has made us ponder how our society should develop in the future. Therefore, I think it is a necessary attitude to deal with more complex and difficult social phenomena that we will face.
Another criterion was 'freedom'. It is not reckless freedom to speak here. We are guaranteed various freedoms according to the law. On the other hand, I think there are still many places that haven't. There are still cases of suppressing or discriminating against a particular group or class by a particular belief or value or custom. (Maybe it exists in our society, too.)Therefore, I would like to express that we have developed a society that is free from these restraints and allows us to receive due treatment as one person.
