W8.1 Technology, the Internet, and Virtual Worlds / Juhee Cha

1. Summary
A relatively new field of research in the social science field focuses on technologies including mobile phones, video games, the virtual world, social networking services and digital media. Technology mainly refers to knowledge that facilitates production, but often the product of the technology is called technology because it facilitates the production of products or services or helps achieve goals. One of the biggest examples is mobile phones, and as the portability of mobile phones increases, people have become more dependent on them. Social networks have the advantage of being able to maintain relationships even if they are separated, but the disadvantage is that they can lead to a tendency to be afraid of being left out, to try to do the same, and to want to prove their behavior, leading to negative behavior. Also, the use of social networks results in a lack of time for other activities. Video games are also closely related to human behavior. Improving visual concentration is an example.

2. Interesting Point
The development of technology makes our lives easier and brings about changes in many areas of relationships. The development of technology creates various norms and cultures. We also adapt to it and come to think of it as natural. If there is support to increase access to technology, I think education is also necessary to adapt to changes in norms caused by the development of technology. For example, a person posts a post on social networks that does bad things and certifies them for their own sense of belonging. Many people will see it and have a bad effect. Therefore, I think the development of technology and awareness should be done together. Our society needs order.

3. Discussion
Do you think the development of technology and awareness is being made properly? Why do you think so?

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.
