Wikipedia: reliable sources / Kim Ami


-      Summary
This article explains that Wikipedia is a reliable source. Articles recorded in Wikipedia should be based on published sources and recorded to include all the majority or minority opinions expressed in such sources. Articles should be able to prove to others based on three reliable public sources, such as the work itself, the author and the publisher of the work. These Wikipedia articles use materials that can give credibility, such as academic material, news media news reporting. By the way, Wikipedia should present us with a neutral perspective, but there is no need for reliable sources to be neutral, unbiased or objective. Rather, sources that do not have a neutral perspective can support information about various perspectives on the subject. In addition to reliable sources, the use of suspicious or self-released sources is very limited and may not normally be acceptable. However, if the claim of the data is not an exceptional claim, or if there is no reasonable doubt about its authenticity, and if this article is not based primarily on these sources, the suspicious source can be used for Wikipedia articles.

-      Interesting point
  Interesting point was that Wikipedia said in this article that it should present a neutral perspective, but noted that non-objective sources can provide information on various perspectives on the subject. I first read this part and thought it was contradictory. In other words, I thought Wikipedia should provide an objective source to present a neutral perspective. However, because bias appears in politics, religion, finance, and belief, in certain situations, it may be reliable in the context. So I understood that if the source has independence from the subject, and is possible to confirm the facts, the text can be made.

-      Discussion
  Reading this article, I learned that Wikipedia is trying to provide neutral, reliable information. But people around me think Wikipedia is unreliable information. Why is that? So what are the ways to improve Wikipedia's reliability?

    In korea, this project, 'the online dictionary that everyone can participate in write article' is not familiar. similar project is managed like namuwiki, but namuwiki project doen't have policy like to wikipedia's policy that have to provided neutral, reliable information. so korean consider that these online project are non-reliable contents. for korean have trust to this project, we have to notify these project have specific policy.

W4. Millennium Development Goals / Lee Se Hyun

Summary The Millennium Development Goals were established under the International Development Goals. 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.

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.
