Summary
Free Culture Movement is a social movement that promotes freedom of distributing and modifying creative works as free content using the Internet and other media. The contrasting concepts are copyright and copyright. In other words, it is against excessively restrictive copyright laws.
The movement began in the late 1960s when Stewart Brand founded Whole Earth Catalog. This background developed in 1998 when the Sonny Bono Copyright Extension Act, signed by President Clinton, was passed.
One of the most representative organizations related to free culture is Creative Commons, founded by Lawrence Lessig. Other organizations include the QuestCopyRight organization, which emphasizes economic, artistic and social damage from distribution monopoly and signs that free-based distribution is a better way for artists and audiences.
These exercises include free music exercises.

What is free culture and how it can help with social development?
Free culture is a culture that is not protected by copyright and can be used freely by everyone. This culture will be of great help to amateur creators. When I made past videos, it was hard to find free video or music sources. Pro producers can have a backlash against this. However, I think we can achieve better cultural development in quantity than in quality. In other words, cultural equality will be created through free culture.

Interresting Point
From an early age, we are often taught that copyright should be protected. However, I thought excessive copyright could rather prevent social development. Can industries below Disney develop if large companies like Disney monopolize, as the example I heard in this paper? In this regard, I came to realize the significance of the free culture movement.

Discussion
We often watch movies with exclusive seats in movie theaters. As such, cultural monopoly is a common situation. In other words, it is a situation in which large conglomerates can kill small and medium-sized enterprises. On the contrary, if large companies are destroyed to solve this problem, the foundation of the national economy may be shaken. How should we deal with monopoly?

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 ...
