W6. Sustainable Development/ Kim Seonghui

1. Summary
Sustainable development is a way of trying to achieve human development goals while preserving natural resources. Economic development, natural resources, and ecological conservation are difficult to develop while satisfying each other. This concept is often criticized as a matter of what should be maintained in sustainable development. In particular, some say that sustainable development does not exist because continuing development will eventually deplete the planet's finite resources. This concept leads to an education called ESD. Encouraging changes in knowledge, attitude, and technology to create a more sustainable and equitable society. Sustainable development is an economic, environmental, and social intersection. Sustainability is to use resources only as long as human resources can be naturally replenished. Efforts are also made for sustainable development in terms of agriculture, economics, energy, manufacturing, technology, and business. However, these indicators of sustainability are not fundamentally indicative of our sustainable development. We can only see through these indicators that we are going in the wrong direction or in the right direction.
 
2. New/Interesting
The discussion of sustainable development in the natural capital sector is based on the assumption that society should manage three types of capital (economic, social, and natural), which was impressive that it could not be replaced and consumption could not be reversed. Also impressive was the part that stated irreversible. I reminded in this part that the water boils up as if it were over 100 degrees Celsius, but it was calm before that. I thought it was a little scary that we didn't know what changes nature was going through and how it affected us until we crossed this certain part.
 
 
3. Discussion
It is said that there are no indicators that can accurately measure sustainability. Nevertheless, we need these indicators to realize that we are making sustainable development. So what metrics can measure sustainability?

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 ...
