Demography / Kim Ami


1.     Summary

Demographics is a study of human demographics, which studies the size, structure and distribution of the population and how the population changes over time due to birth, death, migration and aging. Demographic is important because they can explain various social phenomena at a macro level. Demographics that rely on large data sets derived from census and statistics can explain infertility, mortality, demographic changes, population growth and overpopulation, migration and urbanization. In particular, demographers focus on indicators of birth rate and mortality, and strive to explore demographic change factors. However, demographics are often difficult to achieve accurate numerical value in relation to minority groups, and demographic understanding of social structures and patterns continues to change with respect to the availability of more accurate data and measurement techniques.

2.     Interesting point

I've just thought demographics are a study of population figures, so it's interesting that demographics are necessary to explain social phenomena. Especially when I was vivid in World War I, I only thought about political and diplomatic conflicts, a fresh view that population growth may be one of the factors that affected the outbreak of World War I.

3.     Discuission

It also deals with migrants, with recent studies showing that opposition to immigration is being made because it changes the identity of the society in which immigrants migrate. If so, Korea is a single nation, will immigrants change the country's single culture?

    I am not negative about immigrants immigrating to society and changing its identity. A country with various identities can be said to be a multicultural society. I think any country where individual thoughts and cultures are recognized will be welcomed. If so, the perception of our country will also.

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.

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.
