W8. Technology, the Internet, and Virtual Worlds/ Kim Seonghui

1. Summary
There are many technologies that have influenced society. It is very diverse, including cell phones, social networks, and video games. The development of mobile phones has changed social customs. Public phones have begun to disappear, and there is an implicit custom of whether or not cell phones are okay at any place and time. Social networks allow you to keep in touch with your friends and family. But the downside of social media exists. People will use more social networks when doing other activities. In addition, posting something that might be a problem in the future means that there is a record (almost forever) in the online space. also
Gender inequality is also maintained on social networks. Especially in video games. The advantage of video games is that they improve visual concentration. It also has its drawbacks. Many people are addicted to games and have difficulty limiting game time. Also, discussions are still underway on whether to increase aggression. This is because research has shown that it reduces aggression.
 
2. New/Interesting
I was impressed by the video game and the writing of the gender part. Despite the presence of female gamers, the game industry is displaying many female characters sexually to target heterosexual men. It even shows a severely damaged image, simply to give players sexual stimuli, even though it's not necessarily a part of the game. I thought it would be nice for developers to make fun games while fixing these parts.
 
3. Discussion
In addition to these examples, such as the Internet and video games, I wonder what technologies have had a great impact on society.

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.

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 ...
