Wikipedia: reliable sources / Lee Hayoung (LATE POSTING – ADDED)

1. Summary
Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published sources and should contain a majority and all significant minority opinions that appear in such sources. Regardless of whether the source is negative, positive, neutral, or questionable, the controversial material for the unsourced living (or, in some cases, the most recently deceased) must be removed without immediate delay. Articles shall be certified on the basis of the work itself, the author, and other reliable sources. Also, the information added to the Wikipedia is provided by a reliable third party. It is true that the government should present a neutral point of view as much as possible, but it is not a necessary recommendation.

2. What was interesting
It was interesting that although it was best to have a trusted third party provide information in a neutral manner, sometimes non-neutral information would be more useful to people. If a variety of people look at the information from their own standpoint, the people who use the information will be able to come in contact with the information from a more diverse ways. I had a lot of negative thoughts about non-neutral information, but this changed my thoughts.

3. Discussion Point
If we look at the interesting points above, we can see the advantages of the above. However, it will be difficult for those with limited access to information and those who lack the ability to make rational judgments on their own. In addition, knowledge acquired from the outside can be more easily used as one's own standard. What kind of efforts do these people need to make to get good information?

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.
