W9. Aging Population/ Kim Seonghui

1. Summary
Population aging means an increase in the proportion of people aged 65 or older, which is happening at a rapid pace worldwide. There are many factors. Among them, it appears to be the main reason for the increase in life expectancy caused by technological advances. This aging population is causing policy problems. It is a matter of work, retirement, and pension, health, well-being, etc. The aging and declining population is a problem because it is related to the contraction of the economy. There are several ways to solve problems for older people who are more vulnerable to income stability, external viruses, etc. after retirement. William said the elderly population should come up with ways to maximize their potential as they can still do important labor based on wisdom and life experience. The NRC panel argues that the database should be created through research through multidisciplinary research design.
 
2. New/Interesting
As William said, it was impressive that the old man should still be seen as capable of labor. Because we often ignore their wisdom and experience in life. This reminded me of the movie 'Intern' starring Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway. Like this movie, I thought that if we give the elderly proper jobs and allow them to work, we could solve the income stability problem of the elderly and get closer to them.
 
3. Discussion
Due to the global aging phenomenon, some argue that the standard age of senior citizens should be raised. However, these arguments have advantages and disadvantages. What do you think? Do you think we should raise the standard age for senior citizens?

    As the number of productive people is decreasing, I think we can solve this to some extent by changing the elderly standard. I think we should gradually raise the standard for senior citizens by changing the age standard for each system operation.

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 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 ...
