WK 2. Reading - Hanane Ben Abdeslam

Wikipedia made a historical evolution in our society. Ten years ago, no one -including the founder- would have thought that Wikipedia would be the biggest web research of all time. According to the reading, Wikipedia has come to define the very best web searching in an ethics of our economy and society. Scientists have spent a lot of time understanding the growth of Wikipedia, and put specifically details in important books that they have been written to understand this source production. One of these Scientists is Joseph M. Reagle Jr. who started gaining interest in Wikipedia after he read the fractious narcissism that occurs on blogs, and became increasingly intrigued by the efforts of those individuals, who were writing on Wikipedia.

As is it made it clear in this reading, I learned that technology has played an important role in inspiring the vision of a universal encyclopedia. Which in addition to inspiration, network technology and the related collaboration techniques can enable openness and accessibility, promoting the accountability and socialization of newcomers.

I find it very interesting that building an encyclopedia is a cumulative and interdependent activity. In fact, it seems impossible to properly recognize everyone who has influenced and cooperate that masterwork, don’t you think so?

W10 / Human rights / Lee hayoung

1. Summary  Human rights is the biggest foundation on which society can be formed. We can maintain this society because we have the basic, minimum human rights not to invade each other. Not only does human rights maintain a nation, but it also has a significant impact on the legislation of laws such as international law. We are struggling to protect our rights to a higher and higher level gradually from minimum rights protection. 2. What was interesting  I thought it was too late for me to come up with a concept of human rights. Humanity has formed a society for a long time, but respect for people seems to have started late. Seeing that such discourse on human rights emerged during and after the war that most trampled on human rights, it also reminded me again that human beings must suffer evil to draw good. 3. Discussion Point  In recent cases such as Hong Kong protests and the Black People's Rights Movement, people from all over the world have gathere...

The solution for countries where the majority of the poor lives is to strive for economic development.

The questions remain: how to combine poverty reduction and economic growth. South Korea and its transformation from one of Asia's poorest countries in 50' to one of the 4th largest economy in Asia, 12th largest in the world and cone of the most complex economies in the world. Analyzing South Korea's history we know that the sate left after the Japanese colonialism period and the destruction experienced due to the Korean War left the country in a fragile state with little natural resources and financial means. We can point out a few figures that influenced significantly the Korean economy and strategy. Main changes are thought to happen in the 60s and 70s during Park Chung-hee preisdency. That's the period when major state-led policies too...
