W7. Synthetic meat/ Kim Seonghui

1. Summary
The main purpose of Synthetic meat technology is to keep quality intact or find better ways to meet human needs and needs cheaply and efficiently. This fact should be kept in mind when making synthetic foods because food is not just a body maintenance tool.
In the case of beef, a substance that digests a piece of meat and converts it into a treatable form then puts it in an experimental solution and separates the molecules according to their physical properties. Analyze how each element's taste affects, and scientists assemble these elements or copy them to a meat printer.
The cells in the petri dish can be divided into more cells as long as they are fed and shape and size that we want. This technology will have a great ripple effect in other areas as well. For example, it can be applied to various medical technologies such as organ culture and organ cloning.
 
2. New/Interesting
I think synthetic meat is a sustainable way to solve the environmental and ethical problems that meat brings. In addition, it was most impressive to hear that it might be applicable to medical technology. Although there is a part that animal blood should be extracted and used to make culture meat, I think it is a little more ethical to draw blood than slaughter, as the Youtuber suggests.
 
3. Discussion
What would you choose if you had synthetic meat or meat? On the premise that the texture, appearance, and price of the two meat are the same. Why would you choose it?

    It will take time to change people's perception when synthetic meat is first introduced. I think the fact that it was made artificially will be difficult to bring people's preferences. But I think it would help change many people's perception if they emphasize that synthetic meat is a product that can solves environmental problems, ethical problems, even animal rights.

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.

Also, various efforts are made to ensure human rights in the community. Human rights organizations are established in continental units such as Africa, America, Asia, and Europe, to strive for the self-reliance of the vulnerable classes and countries. 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 ...
