W3. Social development theory / Juhee Cha

  Economic development and human development do not mean the same thing. Strategies and policies aimed at economic growth allow a country to generate large incomes. The Middle East oil producing countries are examples. The surge in oil prices did not benefit the poor, but increased national income. On the contrary, people-centered programs could improve the quality of life such as health, education and living standards without focusing on economic growth. Development is a process in which human beings pursue development. The energy and aspirations of those seeking development become the driving force behind the development. The level of people's education, the intensity of their aspirations and energies, their attitudes and values, technology and information all affect the scope and speed of development. These factors apply equally to the development of individuals, families, communities, countries, or the world.
  I saw this and thought that the most important thing for social development was us. One of the powerful means of advancing society is the 'education system,' which I think would be a shortcut to social development if we build well an education system that conveys social common knowledge from one generation to the next. It is up to us to make social progress. I think it is the attitude we should have to convey knowledge and use it to solve social problems.
  Then we are one of the members of the current society. Are we currently contributing to social development? If you think so, why?

    I think it contributes to the development of society. First, politically, we can take part in the election. I think voting can help achieve political and social development. Also, economically, I am indirectly paying taxes.

    I think we are now contributing to social development. I'm not sure if it's the bad side or the good side. However, I think that social development is something that people who are living in the present gather and make. Because this is a process, not a momentary one.

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. Since the 1966 Human Rights Treaty, the concept of human rights has been established and human rights are guaranteed at the international level through the UN, an international organization. Also, various efforts are made to ensure human rights in the community. 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.

W4. Millennium Development Goals / Lee Se Hyun

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.
