W7 Reading:WHAT DOES A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE?/ joon hee Lee

Many people have tried and will continue to promote the importance of sustainability. But we must have all felt unconsciously the ambiguity of the word sustainability. It is one of the long-standing discussions over sustainability, and it will be the most difficult one. Because the sustainable society that we all want is different! In fact, it is very difficult to meet the standards of everyone around the world. Because different people need different levels. It is also quite difficult for future generations to predict the amount of need. In this situation, the writer suggests how to develop sustainability as follows. 

1. Break sustainability down by sector
2. Speak in specifics
3. Clearly identify who benefits
4. Paint a picture

As mentioned earlier, it is very difficult to predict the future and plan accordingly. Nevertheless, many institutions, organizations and scholars have worked very hard to do this, and we should also consider and cooperate to create a path to sustainability.

Discussions on the definition of sustainability seem to have been read a lot before. And it is myself who knows the answer. As the writer says, just as our ideas vary, so does sustainability, we should develop our ideas little by little in detail. (Reality should also be studied together.)

On the concept of sustainability, the author provided an open view that each person had his or her own ideas. It also argues that one of the reasons why we find sustainability difficult lies in the countless names that refer to this. But I think a clear definition can help them understand and study for those who haven't seen this much. And isn't the fact that there are so many nicknames evidence that they look at sustainability from a variety of perspectives? I think this is also a process of bringing together various ideas and compromising with each other. Is the reason why we find sustainability so difficult really because of countless nicknames?

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.

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.

Human beings have studied human rights for a long time. Thus, the theory of human rights exists, and there are various views on human rights. Interesting point ...
