W6. Sustainable Development / Seoyoung Um

Sustainable development is an organizational principle that maintains the capacity of the natural system to provide the natural resources and ecosystem services to which organizations, economies and society depend, while achieving human development goals. It is a social condition in which living environments and resources are used to meet human needs continuously without impairing the integrity and safety of the natural world.

Along with social development, we moved our focus to economic development, social awareness and environmental protection for future generations. These days, I feel that sustainable development is important. Because I felt the seriousness of global warming. I was very shocked to read in a recent article that the Arctic temperature has risen to 38 degrees Celsius. I shuddered at the thought that if this kind of situation continues, there will be only a few minutes left before the end of mankind. It must be truly sustainable development, not verbal development. In particular, the "COVID 19" stopped the operation of China's factory, which eliminated the yellow dust coming to Korea. Looking at these points, I thought we were really destroying the environment.

What are the ways that individuals can help with sustainable 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.
