W9. Demography/ Kim Seonghui

1. Summary
Demographics is a tool for analyzing social phenomena at a macro level. It mainly uses data such as birth, death, etc. The higher the level of education for women, the lower the fertility rate. But education itself does not mean that the birth rate is lowered. Childbirths are related to the degree of development in the country. Death rates are also somewhat related to the extent of the country's development. In developing countries, infant mortality was higher. The world population is growing every year, which could also lead to overpopulation. To solve this problem, there are ways to protect the local environment and improve women's rights. Urbanization rates vary from country to country but are expected to increase steadily worldwide. Urbanization affects the environment, economy, and so on.
 
2. New/Interesting
This was interesting because I didn't think demographics could play an important role in identifying social phenomena. I've often been told that low birth rates are a problem, so it's rather surprising that the current world population is increasing by about 80 million every year. I've learned that in some developed countries, counter-urbanization is happening. Similar to suburbanization, it's happening in the opposite direction to urbanization, and why it's happening like that is impressive to me.
 
3. Discussion
In many countries like Korea, the low birth rate is now a problem. But on a global scale, the population may be overpopulated. What do you think? What seems to be the closest problem to us now?

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. Since the 1966 Human Rights Treaty, the concept of human rights has been established and human rights are guaranteed at the international level through the UN, an international organization. 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 ...
