W4. Free-culture movement/ Kim Seonghui

1. Summary
The Free-culture movement encourages the liberty to share and change the works of others. Especially, using as free or public content without payment or permission to the creators of the products. They reject overly restrictive copyright laws and warn about this law can limit creativity. This movement is linked to the soul of free exchange of ideas, as well as other movements such as free and open software movements and open access. Lawrence Lessig, who first created the movement, argues that the Mickey Mouse Protection Act. is a prime example. Copyright is a barrier to cultural production, intelligence sharing, and technological innovation. And it was made for private interests, not public interests. Eventually, in 2001, Lessig started Creative Commons. It was created to share creative works and spread ideas to create something new.

2. New/Interesting
If you are one of the creators, I think it will be difficult to support the free culture movement. If people make a living by making music, books, etc., copyright will be responsible for the biggest economic part of their lives. However, as Lessig said, I also thought that copyright laws were more related to private interests than to public interests. I think I've seen a lot of creative commons logos on blogs and other places, and I first learned that this logo has this purpose and meaning.

3. Discussion
It would not be possible to impose a completely free culture on creators. In what areas do we think we need a free culture, especially? Why is that?


 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. “What is free culture and how it can help with social development?”
A. Through the Free Culture Movement, we can freely use more and more diverse creations. We can make small changes based on these existing creations, or use them to create new innovations. Also, we can share it with others and create something better through feedback. Thus, the free culture movement will help social development.

    I think it is necessary to ease the copyright of tools that can be used using devices such as computers. Or I think the country should come up with a plan that can be used by people who can't afford the tool. Because people who can't even use the tool because of copyright think they lack the opportunity to learn.

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.

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. 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 ...
