W8. Digital divide/ Kim Seonghui

1. Summary
The digital divide was about whether access was possible or not, but this is becoming increasingly a relative inequality as most mobile phones have been distributed worldwide. Meanwhile, since the word "digital divide" can be divided into several categories, the word "digital inclusion," which includes five elements, has also begun to be used. There are many reasons why the digital divide occurs. Economic gaps, racial gaps, disability status, gender, and age differences. People are trying in various ways to eliminate this gap. For example, public library services were created to reduce the impact of poverty on the information gap. It is very important to narrow the gap between these information. Its importance can be found in terms of economic equality, social mobility, democracy, and economic growth.
 
2. New/Interesting
Now I first learned that the information gap has become relative inequality. I didn't know why they used the word digital inclusion, because I've never heard of such words before. I also got to know a new Second-level digital divide called the production gap. I didn't even think about the gap between content consumers and producers. Because at some point, I felt that the boundaries between consumers and manufacturers were blurring.
 
3. Discussion
I think many people are now doing both content production and consumption. Content consumers and content creators do not seem to appear clearly. Then can we say that the second-level digital divide is disappearing? What do you think?

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.
