W4 Reading: Free-culture movement/ joon hee Lee

The Free Culture Movement is part of a social movement to allow creative works to be freely modified and distributed using different forms of media. One of the leading organizations is Creative Commons. They thought that excessively exclusive copyright laws would rather hinder creativity, and that information (creation) autonomy should be guaranteed. They set new standards for copyrights in various fields, including music, software and entertainment. However, their move was criticized by opponents under the name of "intellectual property communist."

I don't think the Free Cultue Movement is good from the perspective of aiming for a creative-related to creation. As they said, as times developed, creations have already created an easily accessible environment due to the development of technology. I thought it was their position to change the system to fit this environment, but I'm worried that it might develop into a serious copyright infringement in the future. Also, many creators often rely on profits from copyrights, whose moves would destroy the economic capabilities of many creators unless they were paid a fair price for their efforts.


In fact, copyright laws of an overly closed nature can be a weapon that takes away other people's efforts, depending on how they are used, although they have shown a lot of concern earlier. And even if there is no such movement, many creators will have to make their own efforts to organize their works in line with changing societies. After all, balancing the middle is the hardest thing, but I'd like to put my hand on the copylight side a little bit more anyway. Their rights are because no one cares without them. What do other people think? Am I overreacting?

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.
