W10. Human rights/ Kim Seonghui

1. Summary
Human rights are natural and legally absolute basic rights. Such human rights are guaranteed by international law, and the United Nations is the only one that has such legal jurisdiction. There are organizations in each country that strive to promote human rights. Africa has a transnational coalition of 55 African countries. They try to end internal conflicts in Africa. There are OAS and IACHR in America. Human rights are often classified as civil rights, political and economic rights, and social and cultural rights. Supporters of cultural relativism argue that human rights conflict with some cultures because they are not all universal. But Michael argued that cultural relativism is also a concept used to justify those in power abusing those who do not.
 
2. New/Interesting
I was surprised that it was necessary to prioritize human rights. Because I have thought that the types of human rights cannot and should not be prioritized. It is said that the first generation can be classified as a right to life and political participation, the second generation as a right to survive, and the third generation as a right to solidarity. I was surprised by the opinion that for practical reasons, the priority of rights should be set to achieve. I could guess it was because all categories of human rights could not be achieved at once.
 
3. Discussion
The text included a debate between people who argued for cultural relativism and universal human rights protection. How far do you think we should accept and respect cultural relativism? Could you give me your opinion, with example?

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.
