W4. Millennium Development Goals/ Kim Seonghui

1. Summary
Millennium Development Goals, or MDGs, were eight international development goals in 2015.
 
The eight objectives are as follows. 1. To eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
2. To achieve universal primary education 3. To promote gender equality and empower women 4. To reduce child mortality 5. To improve maternal health 6. To combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases 7. To ensure environmental sustainability 8. To develop a global partnership for development
 
Some critics analyzed the investigation and absence of explanations for the determined goal. Also, the hardness or absence of measurement for some goals. And criticized the irregular progress. More than half of this aid has been used to reduce their debt. And most of the rest were used for natural disaster relief and military support rather than for extra development.
Nevertheless, improving the living environment of developing countries through MDGs has helped their development. For one example, healthy workers could be inspired not to leave for other places that suggest a better lifestyle for their country. Therefore, they worked in their country so that the country could develop.
 
2. New/Interesting
I felt these eight goals were pretty well-designed, but when I heard the critics' opinions, I found that I couldn't say they were perfect. In particular, MDG8 is said to focus on the performance of donors. In addition, the entire process didn't include the voices of the very participants that the MDG wants to support. I think these criticisms show that developed countries are approaching developing countries only with a condescending attitude.
 
3. Discussion
These international organization development goals tend to be selected and determined based on the opinions of developed countries. I think such a decision is more of a condescending attitude of developing countries than an equal. So how should we set our development goals of the world to create a better world?

    The word global harmony is perhaps easy. However, each country will not put other countries ahead of its own. It's not selfish, it's natural.

    After all, the most important thing is that each country should ensure a minimum living. In that, advanced countries will develop further, but developing or developing countries will also be able to receive opportunities for development. In other words, I think the goal is to give developing countries opportunities for development and its first step is to "live environment."

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.

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. 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 ...
