W5 / Sociocultural evolution(1) / Lee Hayoung

1. Summary
 Social and cultural evolution is a term used to describe cultural and social changes over time. A process in which the development of society and culture increases the complexity of society is searched, and a process in which society is changed while making a large change or decrease in such complexity is also searched. There are various societies in human history, and the number of societies that can be clearly said to be societies was estimated to be about 200. The theory of social and cultural evolution is one of the ways society develops. This has been influenced by the theory that living organisms evolve, and has attempted to formalize social thinking in this context. If the evolutionary process of organisms is to be applied to society, too. Human society was compared to biological organisms, and a society of concepts such as diversity, natural selection, and inheritance and scientific equivalents were introduced as a result of social development.

2. What was interesting
 It was interesting to look at the social development process in a similar way to the development of organic bodies. However, it is not clear how the formula described in biological evolution applies to society. "But if the conceptual part is in the same vein as the visible forms such as diversity, natural selection, and inheritance, I thought it was a plausible hypothesis."

3. Discussion Point
 If biological evolution and social and cultural development are to be considered in the same context. Biological evolution stopped long ago. We're just slowly adapting to the situation. However, society is rapidly changing. So is the theory of socio-cultural evolution still applicable?

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 ...
