How useful the WB pages are compared to Wikipedia description?/ Changyu Jung

In the WB pages, we can see how World Bank support social development. They listen to the voices of people in the countries, and understand the needs of them. Also, they make social organization which is accessible to people. And, the World Bank funds societies to stand on their own feet. So we can see how people can promote social development in other countries.

I think this WB pages are not that useful compared to Wikipedia description. The information in the pages was concise and not that specific. I felt like more specific information should be added in the pages. And I thought the information in the pages was biased. It describes the activities of World Bank only in a good way. In my opinion, some specific information should be added and describe the activities in a more neutral way. So I think we can see some practical examples of social development in the pages but it's a little hard to understand conceptual parts. I guess it's good to use WB pages when looking for practical examples, not when looking for definition or conceptual part.

World Bank support social development in countries by funding them and making social organizations in there. Do you think activities like this are appropriate?

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.
