W4 The usefulness of MDG-related comics/ SooBin Moon


The usefulness of MDG-related comics

 
      I'd like to talk about the cartoon on the subject of first. The main character in the cartoon lives in Brazil, and in his childhood, his parents worked in the primary industry and lived in the countryside. And I moved around looking for land and farming. However, they moved to the city and lived in their uncle's house because they could not farm even if they moved. However, many people could not live in their uncle's house, and they were forced to leave their uncle's house to pick up trash.
 
      The most impressive painting in the cartoon was the scene of being careful of cars when picking up garbage and running away from angry people. In fact, when people go to poor countries, they are often said to be cruel to others or steal things secretly because they are not properly educated about the harsh environment and theft or morality. I thought that if you were to compete in such an environment, pick up trash and run away from angry adults, you would acquire such negative characteristics.
 
      And the most impressive phrase in the cartoon is that poor people are not lazy and poor because they are not willing to work. The more I get to know society, the more I feel like I'm facing this situation. People born poor are more likely to continue to be poor due to external factors such as the social environment, even if they try hard.
 
      Also, even though poverty is not in the cartoon, even if it is not the individual's fault, the mere fact that they were born and raised poor has drawn negative attention from people around them and even the words "poverty is not a sin." I think, of course, all of the MDG's goals are important, but the most basic thing is that there are no people who are poor, who are threatened with life. So I hope that an era will come as soon as possible when all mankind can enjoy even a minimum life.

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 ...
