WK 2. Extra, can you think of how technology makes our lives better? - Hanane Ben abdeslam

Over the years, technology has revolutionized our world and daily lives. I believe that technology has created amazing tools and resources, putting useful information at our fingertips. Modern technology has made an impact for multifunctional devices like a smartwatch and smartphone for example. Computers are increasingly faster, more portable, and higher-powered than ever before. With all of these revolutions, technology has also made our lives easier, faster, better and more fun. In this blog I will give three examples on how technology made our lives better.

First of all, most of our education programs are based on the internet. We do more online research instead of going to the library to dig in books, because it is more efficient and faster to search online. Furthermore, it is now becoming a trend to use laptops or iPads to educate children instead of using books, which was our traditional way of studying. However, if we are looking at this time, during the coronavirus pandemic, we can all see that schools have been shutting down and that everyone is able to continue their study by following online classes on their computers. 

Second, thanks to new technological developments, many new medical devices have been made available in hospitals – and other medical care centers- to help patients faster, to cure illnesses, and to search – and discover – vaccines/medicine.

Finally, it has becoming more fun to use technology, not only to do research, but also to entertain yourself. There are many applications like Netflix where you can watch TV series, movies and documentaries on every device you have, whether on your phone, laptop or Ipad. Because of new technologic developments, it even allows you to watch your TV shows without using the internet. (You have to download the TV show first and can watch it later offline).

Therefore, in my opinion, by summing these three things up, technology definitely made my life better, how about yours?

1.      Summary       This text is about how Wikipedia has achieved great success. The core of Wikipedia is a "cooperative community" that allows us to understand the world freely and voluntarily. The collaboration takes place within the culture or norms of the community.        The first reason for the success of Wikipedia, a web-based open content book, was technology.

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.

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.
