W.10.1 Human rights / Juhee Cha


1.Summary
Human rights are moral principles or norms describing specific standards of human behavior and are regularly protected by natural and legal rights in city and international law. They are generally inalienable, and are fundamental rights inherent in all human beings. Human rights policies have exerted great influence within international law and international and regional institutions. Solve international problems of economic, social, cultural or humanitarian nature, and encourage respect for human rights and basic freedoms, regardless of race, gender, language or religion.

2.Interesting
It was interesting to see the opinion of cultural relativists that human rights are not universal and are in conflict with some cultures. In particular, the fact that women's rights were violated has become a great sympathy. Prior to World War I, women did not have the right to vote, which could be said to be representative of human rights. The women's rights movement contributed to women's right to vote, and the long-held ethnic and religious minorities were able to regain their human rights. It is surprising that human rights were not guaranteed to everyone from the beginning. It seems that we should pay attention to whether there are any marginalized groups in our society at present.

3.Disussion
With the recent increase in the number of confirmed cases of the Itaewon Club Corona, interest in the Homophobia group has increased rather than the incident itself. Some people have mocked the group, Homophobia, rather than paying attention to the Korona confirmation. Can we say that the human rights of all people are guaranteed in the current Korean society?

    I don't think the human rights of everyone are guaranteed in Korea. As in your example, the human rights of homosexuals have been violated by homophobia as the number of confirmed patients in the Itaewon club Corona has increased. Not only that, these people almost got outing. In addition, seeing that many foreign English teachers have been confirmed they were in the Itaewon club, some restaurants and cafes have posted signs saying, "No foreigners entering."

W4. Millennium Development Goals / Lee Se Hyun

Summary The Millennium Development Goals were established under the International Development Goals. 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. From ancient times to the post-World War II international human rights treaties, various changes and considerations continued.
