W5 Reading: Sociocultural evolution-2/ joon hee Lee

In modern times, the view of evolution is now largely understood rom three perspectives.
After two World Wars from a political point of view, this time the Cold War era was considered the main focus of evolution. The United States and the Soviet Union have called themselves the best in their respective systems. Many of the countries liberated from colonial rule tried to develop themselves and this itself became a role model for sociocultural evolution.
From a technical perspective, we present the combination of artificial intelligence and data at the next stage of our society. Much of our lives will continue to depend on various electronic functions, and I think we have already reached the turning point of evolution that many people have thought of.
From an anthropological point of view, I think external factors (competition in other societies, different natural environments) are the center of evolution, and some have suggested that adaptation to nature and harmony with other groups should be prioritized, not "progress."

I've been focusing on understanding Sociocultral evolution this week, but it wasn't as easy as I thought. And it was interesting that quite a few theorists were interested in this, and I think the idea that our society should focus more on harmony with its surroundings, ecology within the group than in the past, rather than on what is commonly called "civilization," is more important now than in the past.


Countries that escaped from the colonies worked harder than anyone else for their own development, and scholars regarded them as models to explain another sociocultural evolution. If so, is Korea also included in this category? If included, how should Korea move forward from a technical or anthropological perspective?

    I think Korea is included in this category. First of all, I don't know if it's a technical or anthropological point of view, but I think we should fix the culture that has continued since our country was a colony of Japan during the Japanese colonial era era. Also, I think Korea can develop further by constantly learning about the historical events(ex. Military Sexual Slavery by Japan, etc.) we have experienced at that time.

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 ...
