Demography/김윤(KIM YOON)

Summary

Demographic is a study that shows the transition of population, mainly using birth and death rates as indicators. Today, the population is on the rise due to improved economic standards and abundant food. At the same time, in advanced countries, women's fertility rates remain below 2.1, the ratio for alternative populations, due to increased education and welfare. On the contrary, developing countries have higher birth rates than poor conditions due to contrasting conditions. Overpopulation can lead to child hunger, lack of land and food. In addition, there are other things that affect demographics such as immigration and urbanization.

Interesting

I didn't know urbanization was such a big factor in demographics. Also, it was interesting that there was a difference in population due to the architectural style of the building and the history of the region.
I think the population should be maintained properly, not too much, not too much. The state must make efforts to keep the birth rate at the right level so that continued development will be possible.

Discussion

Last year, South Korea's total fertility rate stood at 0.92. The figure ranks last among OECD countries, and if it continues, Korea's population will decrease. Which factor do you think plays the biggest role in the reason why Korea's birthrate is especially low?

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.
