Why are you taking this class?/ Changyu Jung

 I started to take classes about sociology(like Modern Society Theories, Communication Sociology) last semester. But I feel like I still don't understand many things about sociology. I want to understand how our societies are made, grow, and how they react to the things. I hope I can learn things like those in this class. So that I can understand more about sociology.

 What I expect from this class is like these: writing, reading, and discussion. I think these are essential when learning sociology. It helps us express how we think about the things. I'm still not good at that, so I hope I could gain skills like these. And Editing Wikipedia would be nice, I think. Doing that, I guess I would be able to think about how the intelligence is created and developed. I know that Wikipedia is a kind of dictionary that anyone can edit and make, but I haven't used it a lot. For now. I guess I use it 2 times a year. I hope I can get a chance to use it more through this class.

 It's a good chance to take a class like this, which makes us think about our society. I hope I can understand about our society more through this class. But after we study about sociology, what can we do with this thing? And what is our role when we studied sociology? I'm curious about this.

    I hope we can resume our normal classes soon to have some real, face to face discussions. In the meantime, I hope our lectures will answer your other questions!

Millennium Development Goals, or MDGs, sought 191 U.N. member states and more than 22 international organizations to achieve their goals by 2015. MDGs have promoted the development of the international community. Poverty, hunger eradication, universal education level, gender equality, disease, environment and development of developing countries were targeted. However, it has been criticized for lack of legitimacy, neglect of female inequality in employment, and uneven achievement rate, but it has contributed a lot to many equal development. Interesting point I knew that international politics was carried out in a complex and selfish atmosphere. However, upon encountering the MDGs, I learned that the international community is making great efforts to ensure human rights. Among the MDG criticisms, criticism of women's inequality was interesting. The phenomenon of female ineq...

What is meant by that? / Lee hayoung

Q. Society is not determined by technology, nor is technology determined by society. Both emerge as two sides of the sociotechnical coin. What is meant by that? A. So to begin with, I think that society and technology are the relationships that influence each other, the concepts that one cannot include or dominate. There is technology in society, and technology exists because there is society. I think it's an inseparable relationship, so I think it can be expressed in both sides of a coin.

W10. Human_rights / Lee Se Hyun

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. Human rights have been modified and established over a long period of time.

Also, various efforts are made to ensure human rights in the community. Human rights organizations are established in continental units such as Africa, America, Asia, and Europe, to strive for the self-reliance of the vulnerable classes and countries. Human beings have studied human rights for a long time. Thus, the theory of human rights exists, and there are various views on human rights. Interesting point ...
