Summary
The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were among the international development Goals for the year 2015 that had been established following the Millennium Summit of the United Nations 2000, following the United Nations.

Goal 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
- Between 1990 and 2015, halve the percentage of people who live below $1.25 a day and achieve adequate employment for women, men and adolescents. And halves the percentage of people suffering from starvation.
Goal 2: Achieve universal primary education
- All children are required to complete primary education by 2015.
Goal 3: Promote gender equality and empower women
- 2005-2015 to close gender gaps in primary and secondary education at all levels
Goal 4: Reduce child mortality rates
- Between 1990 and 2015, the mortality rate under the age of 5 decreased by two-thirds.
Goal 5: Improve maternal health
- Between 1990 and 2015, maternal mortality was reduced by 3/4. Achieve universal access to birthday health by 2015
Goal 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases
- Reduce the incidence of AIDS, malaria and other diseases by 2015 and start universal treatment
Goal 7: Ensure Environmental Sustainability
- Sustainable development, reduced loss of biodiversity and increased population with access to safe drinking water and basic hygiene by more than half.
Goal 8: Develop a Global Partnership for Development
- Developing countries' development and resolving national debt

These MDGs have the following critical elements: For now, there is a lack of justification because it did not include the voices of those who participate in the MDGs. In addition, the current MDG's biggest goal is to have only gender goals related to health, education and political expression, so it does not fully emphasize gender inequality in terms of poverty eradication and employment.
Progress toward achieving MDGs' goals was different for different countries. Among them, Brazil achieved the most goals. However, the pace of development among countries was varied, which continued until 2015.

Since 2015, the U.N. summit has launched a new framework by announcing the SDG.

Interesting Point
It was only in this class that I knew that there was a goal for global development, such as MDG. And this MDG found that there were more problems than expected. It was good that all mankind joined forces to solve common problems. But, wasn't that an ideal goal for developing countries? Also, isn't the peaceful aspect neglected? There are only two goals that MDGs actually succeeded in. The other six are failed or partially met. In this regard, I wondered if MDG was a successful plan.

Discussion
As mentioned above, I think the MDG itself has failed because it has failed most of its goals. What do you think? If you think you haven't failed, why do you think so?

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 ...
