Sustainable Development/김윤(KIM YOON)

Summary

Sustainable development is the principle for meeting human development goals while simultaneously keeping the ability of natural systems to provide the natural resources and ecosystem services based upon which the economy and society depend. It ties together concern for the carrying capacity of natural systems with the social, political and economic challenges faced by human. Currently, there are diverse tries and effort to decrease gas emission, excessive logging and so on. 

Interesting

There were many themes to read interestingly, I particularly interested in 'sustainable transport'. I could read detailed article through link. There are green vehicles, electric vehicles and so on. The Online Electric Vehicle, developed by KAIST in Korea, is an electric vehicle that can be charged while stationary or driving, so it removes the need to stop at a charging station. 
I could also saw the graph arguing that greenhouse gas emissions from transport vary widely, even for cities of comparable wealth.

Discussion

What can be done at home for sustainable development?

What do you think about having a more intensive regulatory policy in developed countries due to history, technology and so on? Also, do you think it is being followed well?

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.
