Sociocultural evolution(1)

 

Summary)
 
     This article contains the arguments of various scholars, among which the theory of evolution has been criticized, and modern theory has become slightly different from classical theory. Classical sociologists thought society was becoming more and more advanced. One of them is 19th-century Auguste Conte and Herbert Spencer. Spencer developed a theory of social evolution rather than Darwin. Emil Durkhem also expressed a dichotomous view of social progress, referring to mechanical solidarity and organic solidarity.

What's interesting, what's new?)
 
     I was impressed by Lester Frank Ward's argument. It was also interesting that he first met his name and rejected many Spencer's theories about evolution. He believes evolution is different in nature, such as plants and animals, and evolution for human survival, and claims that authoritarian governments, like Sthens, suppress individual talent. I thought he was criticizing authoritarian governments and positively assessing democratic society because he is an American sociologist.
 

The part I want to discuss with others)
 
     Do you think your natural evolution can be applied to human society? (Please explain the reasons for the claim as well.) For reference, I think the evolution of nature and the way human society changes or evolves are different. Because nature changes itself to adapt to the environment, and humans change the surrounding environment by creating systems, etc. so that they can survive better.

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.

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 ...
