Comic book review: is this medium helpful in education with regards to social development topics?/ Changyu Jung

I think this medium(comic book) could be a good tool for education about social development topics. But I think these comic books are not good. Comic books is a good tool to impress people, by storytelling. Because people can understand the things easily with the stories and pictures. However, I felt this comic book is unlikely to impress people. I read a comic book about poverty. I can see that a boy in this story is poor, but I felt like he’s not that struggling. And I also felt like he’s satisfied with his status. That’s why I wondered he needed help from someone. In addition, I couldn’t find information about how I can help people struggling from poverty while reading the cartoon part. The information about that was in another part.

So, in my opinion, if someone use comic book as a tool for education, a good skill for storytelling is needed. In the case of this cartoon, I think the author should have described the character’s situation more dramatically and added some information in the cartoon part. I felt like the cartoon part was too weak to impress people and give enough information.

What skills do we need when using comic books as an education tool? Can comic book replace textbooks?

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. From ancient times to the post-World War II international human rights treaties, various changes and considerations continued.

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 ...
