Is there a new generational gap between internet savvy youth and less savvy older generation?/ Changyu Jung

There is obviously a generational gap between Internet savvy youth and less savvy older generation. Older generations who are less savvy with the Internet have limited access to information compared to young people. They can only see information gained by relying only on familiar media. This seems to be happening because of the lack of information and technology on new media.

For example, in 2016, I was put into demonstration management when I was in riot police(auxiliary police). The demonstration was dominated by the older generation. There I happened to hear the dialogue of the protest participants. Listening to their talking, where they get information from the Internet was very limited, and it was conservative newspapers or conservative community sites. Their biggest reliance on information was on a site called Ilbe in Korea. When you think about young people who are familiar with the Internet getting information from various sites, you can feel that there is a big difference between the older generation and the younger generation.

In other words, internet savvy youth and less savvy older generation have great difference in their abilities to obtain information. For this reason, I think the main medium of information is different, which has created a new generation gap.

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.
