Blogging through Sociology of Development (2020)

Poverty is one of the great obstacles that many people in the world face. Poverty can be caused by low productivity of households, and these households face financial constraints and a lack of incentives for entrepreneurship. The author says that the best cure for this poverty relief is to encourage more in business activities and start new venture businesses through entrepreneurship. The entrepreneurial process is important for successful entrepreneurs. The government's policies on economic growth or poverty have not had a significant impact on entrepreneurship activities, and most beneficiaries have not gained much satisfaction from the government's programs. Programs such as entrepreneurship training can help poor small business owners grow their businesses and give themselves and others a chance to escape poverty. For this development of entrepreneurship, the focus should be on entrepreneurship training, participation in small and medium enterprises, strengthening youth c...

This article is an extension of the previous subject. The author thinks that the goals pursued by economic development are not much different from social development. And note the most important factor that makes this possible: 'education'.  However, he says it's harder than he thought to be.  The reasons are as follows.  1. Economic development plays a big role in bringing about social development, but we can't guarantee how much this will return to economic benefit. 2. Investing in social development is obviously valuable, but running it efficiently and well is more complicated than expected. In response, the author says increasing transparency in public funds will help. Finally, he once again stresses that there may be such difficulties, but this is possible, citing examples from various countries.  I think the same is true of theory, as there are exceptions to all phenomena. Because each country is in different situations, the results cannot be t...

We would often think that the goal of economic development is literally 'economic growth of the state or region'. But the author of this article argues that our judgment is wrong. His argument is that 'economic development is social development.' He says the main goal of economic development is actually to improve the welfare, structure, and system of society. Through improving the quality of life through economic development, many people say they have escaped the curse of poverty, but it is regrettable that this is not well illuminated.  The writer especially appreciated the effectiveness of education. Through education, humans can learn a more efficient and safe attitude to life, and we hope that this will ultimately help develop society. In addition, the author should raise the level of education for women. Claims. In fact, the higher the level of education for women, the higher the way society can contribute, and the higher the need for education. We...

1.      Summary However, the author says that social investment does not guarantee economic growth. This means that just investing in people and social development is not enough. Investing in social programs and making them work is not simple, political or technical. Because social development investment is an investment in the poor, it is politically sensitive. Also, it is not easy for social programs to operate efficiently, prompting the government to hesitate to inject scarce resources into programs that operate. In response, the author believes that it is helpful to increase understanding and transparency of how public funds can be used and used in all societies. In fact, some countries have shown that they are implementing social services within reasonable budgets, with emphasis placed on universal access to basic services such as primary education, primary health care and family planning, and they relied on private and community initiatives rather than on...

1.      Summary The fundamental goal of economic development is to improve welfare. First, for this to happen, investments in social programs and education must be made. This can be seen from a graph showing the proportionality of school enrollment and per capita growth. Public investment in health, nutrition and family planning can also complement and interact with each other in a way that brings economic benefits. The author says that investment in social development leads to higher income and economic growth, more education, and the health of the next generation. 2.      Interesting point Interestingly, educated women tend to have healthy children. Also, healthy children will be able to attend school. Looking at this, I found that this cycle has a profound effect on the improvement of human welfare. 3.      Discuission Why do you think education affects welfare improvement?

Social Development is  Economic Development(2)   Summary)      Investing in social programs and making them work is not simple. There are two reasons why the government cannot invest much in social development programs. First, to invest in social development programs is to distribute a large portion for the relatively poor. Second, even if a social program would benefit society greatly, it is difficult to operate the social program itself efficiently. In order to solve these problems, the government should show the public how public funds are used in society in a way that is easy to understand. And as we can see from the examples of many countries, education has a great effect, so we have to invest in education.   As can be seen from Korea, China, and Indonesia, rapid social development is not only desirable but possible. Not all countries have a single way of social development, but they can refer to other countries' methods, etc. Ther...

Social Development is  Economic Development(1)   Summary)      The goal of economic development is not only economic growth, but also the development of people's welfare. And the measures that can measure this are 'life impactancy' and 'adult literacy'. We have developed a lot compared to the past, but we still have a long way to go. Especially the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia still need to develop a lot. The objectives to be achieved are as follows:'improving human wellness directly', 'investing in social development does not generate all by itself', 'making social programs work is not simple'. There are many educational stories at the beginning of this article. And several graphs were talking about the importance of education, of which chart 4 shows that educated women have healthier children. In Africa, if a child's mother is an uneducated person, the rate at which her child dies before the age of five is one in fiv...

Human Rights and Asian Values   Summary)      There are various voices about human rights in Asia. Some Asian governments use Asian rhetoric to boost their own value, while Asian human rights activists claim human rights with a freer and more democratic nature than information, and governments talk about human rights by giving political motivation. Human rights should also consider the cultural context. Thus, there may be differences in the context of human rights in the West and Asia. However, Asia should only consider traditions that fit universal human rights rights that are suitable for modern rights, even considering traditional culture. Focusing only on traditional culture can miss the ultimate concept of human rights. For example, it is difficult to reasonably harmonize classical Confucian and modern rights cultures. Confucianism is a concept that does not consider democracy. The Quran of Islam also does not match the universal concept of human righ...

I think 3D printers are about changing the world. I mainly watch YouTube at home these days. I've also seen videos of 3D printers here and there that follow YouTube's algorithms. It was quite interesting. My house doesn't have a door lock yet, so I use the key to open and close the door. However, if you sometimes leave a key or forget it, you have to make one again. It's a pretty cumbersome process. However, if there was a 3D printer, the problem could be solved easily. And my friend's father had a small 3D printer. That's why he made a phone case for my friend. It's so rare. I remember being more robust than I thought and surprised. If it is used not only for small power generation but also for commercial purposes, it will contribute much more to social development.

summary   Human rights (human rights) is a universal and absolute concept of human rights and status and qualifications. [1] In other words, human rights are thought to have the right to live as human beings, and are defined as having universal variables applied regardless of age, regional variables such as jurisdiction, nationality, and nationality. The nature and legitimacy of human rights and the content itself have been the subject of intense debate in philosophy and politics today. However, human rights are universally defined in international law and international conventions and in national law in numerous countries.  Interesting point   We can, of course, still be the basic human right to do it. I want to say more. It is an important issue of our global development.  debate   What is? Do you have to take the crimes of those who have committed to reaching the lives of others? Why is it justice?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5AZzOw7FwA After Watching ' Will 3D printing changed the world?'   3D printing technology is getting closer to our lives. In fact, our school can actually use 3D printing machines if it takes safety education. So I always wondered what impact 3D printing would have on our lives and how much it could be realized.   After seeing this video, I felt that 3D printing technology had a great influence on our lives and was actually doing so. Artists and inventors have become easy to realize their ideas. When they make a drawing of what they want to make, the machine automatically produces it. Looking at this, industries such as product manufacturing and fairness are likely to be replaced by Korean society.   I thought that architecture and simple manufacturing processes that humans need to make using physical force might be replaced. And what's really surprising is that 3D printing technology is also affecting the medical community. ...

It is not enough to invest in human and social development. The nature of the economy is also important. The economic benefits from education may have some sort of limitation. But investing in social programs and making it work is not simple. Since social development has good economic feasibility, it is reasonable to do so. But the government does not put more resources into these high-yield investments. This is because investing in social development means investing in poor people. Another reason is that social programs are not easy to operate efficiently. People in government know that social programs can be run more efficiently, but they are reluctant to put in scarce resources because it is difficult to run them. The author emphasizes the transparency of the use of public funds as a way to resolve this. What was interesting was an explanation of the countries that quickly achieved social development. These countries were well aware of the need to deliver social programs to the po...

Q. Some economists and sociologists predict that in the near future, China may replace United States as the world's economic power. Do you think this may happen?   A. I don't think China can replace America's global economic power. First of all, I acknowledge that China's economic impact on the world is growing. But I think it is difficult to replace economic power because global confidence in China is still significantly lower than in the United States. An example is the case of Covid-19. China disclosed the number of confirmed cases in connection with the Covid-19, many people thought they were unreliable. Furthermore, I find it difficult for people's credibility to be higher than that of the United States, even because of the politics that are now close to Chinese dictatorship. That's why I don't think it will happen.

1. Summary The writer says there is no guarantee that investment for social development will lead to economic growth. The main asset of the poor is labor, and some of the policies the state has set for social development are said to be actually penalizing these workers. Creating social programs is not simple. In some circumstances, it is said that social programs lack resources. One reason, the writer says, is that much of public spending goes to the relatively poor. It is also said that there is a politically sensitive compromise between poor countries. Another reason is that social programs are difficult to operate efficiently. Countries that have succeeded in social development emphasized universal access to basic services such as primary education. It also relied on private and community initiatives. The World Bank is lending money for this social development.   2. New/Interesting I first learned that countries that have succeeded in social development have succeed...

1. Summary The fundamental goal of economic development is the improvement of human welfare. In order to continue this growth, the state needs educated people. Meanwhile, the education rate and economy are proportional. Investment through education comes back. Some educated women have healthier children. It is also true that educated women have fewer children, but it can be said that they can raise their children healthier because they have various plans to raise them. In addition, there is a direct economic impact of social investment. The shorter working hours, the less likely you are to get sick. But poor people find it difficult to make this choice because of money. For this reason, the writer says investing in social development is a good economy. This is because higher incomes lead to more economic growth and more education.   2. New/ Interesting Several cases were presented to support the writer's argument, which made it more understandable and new cases known. ...

What does that mean in practice? Can we think of such rights?   The term ‘Digital Rights’ describes the human rights that allow individuals to access use, create, and publish digital media or to access and use computers, other electronic devices, or commuinications networks.        Digital Rights' refers to an individual's ability to use and understand devices in a digital world. I don't think 'Digital Rights' is the right to align with the concept of human rights. It may sound contradictory, but I earlier argued that human rights also have priority. So I don't think this is fundamental human rights. But it can be one of the rights for people to live a better life. Today society is becoming more and more digital. Therefore, I think this can be incorporated into the subconcept of human rights if digital is not available in the future and life becomes difficult. But I don't think Digital Rights is a subconcept of human rights now because there...

  Do you agree those are human rights? Let's consider some of those: social security, work, rest and leisure, adequate standard of living, education, benefits of science and culture.      I agree that this is also human rights. I also considered this part when I first thought about what human rights are. Social security, work, rest, leisure, proper living standards, education, science and cultural benefits are also necessary for a better life. Therefore, it is hoped that all mankind will live a life that satisfies all of this. But I think that this is, in a way, a human right to a utopian society or an application of human rights. Therefore, it is difficult for those who are not guaranteed even the seven basic preceding human rights to enjoy the benefits of these accented, materialized human rights. But if human rights are 'rights for human beings,' these are subject to proper consideration. Therefore, I believe that human rights also have priority and hope ...

Can the government suspend human rights of some individuals for the 'good of the wider society'?        I think this question is 'I think it's possible!' This debate continues to this day. For example, there is a debate about 'whether to protect the human rights of criminals who commit heinous crimes'. I think such criminals have already lost their right to respect human rights. The right that human rights should be prioritized in all rights is right. However, I think human rights are no longer applicable to criminals who have harmed other people's right to life and human rights. There is no more human rights for those who have taken away others' lives.       I think exceptions should exist even if human rights have a universal character. Operating only in accordance with established rules in society can sometimes produce unexpected wrong results. In this case, we should not fear that discipline will not be applied equally, but shou...

Are human rights universal?        Human rights are universally a basic right that everyone should be respected. The theory, however, is universal, but there are differences between people in actually respecting human rights. The scope of human rights respected depends on the country, region, etc. to which the person belongs. Still, countries like India do not legally exist, but are still discriminated against in substance. And some Arab countries are still discriminated against on the basis of gender. And the people of poor countries in Africa have nothing to eat, and there are areas where life is difficult to maintain, so human rights to life cannot be respected. In the past, China's population-restricted policies and others have made some people in China think they are not in the world because their existence is not legally registered, and they do not have human rights. Besides this, various people are not respected for various reasons.
