Millennium Development Goals/Kim Ami

1.     Summary
MDGs were developed in September 2000 with several commitments set forth in the Millennium Declaration. By 2015, 191 U.N. member states and more than 22 international organizations have sought to achieve their Millennium Development Goals, such as eradicating poverty and hunger, achieving universal primary education, gender equality, reducing child mortality, and developing global partnerships for maternal health, disease eradication, environment and development. Measurements for each goal utilize health and economic indicators.

 However, the MDG was criticized for its lack of analytical skills and justification for the chosen goal. The MDG processes often did not include the voice of the participants they wanted to support. Critics also say the focus should be placed on data collection in other directions due to a lack of accurate research into the goals they have chosen: women's issues, human rights and the environment.

Although the MDG's goal was not chosen by country, there have been developments in several areas, including reducing multilateral debt and strengthening rice production in the Sahara region.

2.     Interesting point
The interesting part is the story of Cuba. Despite being a developing country, Cuba has been able to provide medical personnel to other developing countries such as Honduras, Guatemala and Nicara as their living conditions improve. Reading this part reminded me of helping other countries as Korea, which had been helped by other countries since the Korean War, grew up. Therefore, I learned that society sometimes gets help from someone, and that there can be situations that can help someone.

3.     Discuission
191 U.N. member states and more than 22 international organizations participated in the MDGs for international development goals. Then do you think advanced countries should help developing countries? Why?

    I think developed countries should help developing countries. There is no logical reason. They are the same people and I think they should help them humanitarianly because their lives are difficult. And in fact, I hope that helping developing countries in developed countries will bring a better and happier world for all to feel humanity.

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