Social Development Theory/김윤(KIM YOON)

Summary

Development is a process of social change, not merely a set of policies and programs instituted for some specific results. The basic mechanism driving social change is increasing awareness leading to better organization. When society senses new and better opportunities for progress it develops new forms of organization to exploit these new openings successfully. Development is human processes because human lead the development, not material elements. Peoples' energy, intensity, attitude, technology, and information all influence the pace of development. There are three stages in society's development. It physical stage, vital stage, and mental stage.

Interesting

I could newly learn about three stages of society's development. Also it is able to present in only one or all of three. It was refreshing to divide social development into three stages. In the sense that there is no inherent limit to the expansion and development of society, I had a time to review again that social development is a double-edged sword. How can we harmonize with the surrounding environment?

Discussion

In terms of data science, what can we do for sustainable and eco-friendly development?

    I think an interesting term that concerns sustainable and eco-friendly development is a "circular economy" (I recommend to check the Wikipedia site regarding this term if someone has not heard about it). Its aim is to eliminate waste and raise the efficiency of resource usage. The theory states that introducing more eco-friendly solutions can actually lead to a higher development because it ensures we use the resources as much as we can. The results can be seen for now on a smaller scale in many companies, but also many countries start to take those measures regarding their whole economy.

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.

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 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 ...
