W9 Reading: Demography/ joonhee Lee

Demography is the study of conducting specific and systematic research on population. The fields of demographic study vary widely, including the size, structure, and distribution of the population, and how the population changes over time, including birth, death, migration, and how the population changes over time. And this statistical analysis studies the entire society or small groups that share ethnicity, religion and other elements. Analysis of the population first begins with taxation purposes and now helps understand the flow of a huge society, which can be a very sociologically useful indicator. 

The study of population is a familiar subject to us because it is used in so many different ways in sociology. Among them, the most representative were the birth rate and mortality rate, both of which were very interesting to see that they were heavily influenced by the "education" level. The birth rate was already expected, but it was not easy to predict that the level of education had a significant impact on the death rate. 

I think the population problem that has recently drawn attention in our country is probably low birth rate. It is already a problem that many advanced countries are experiencing, but our country is one of the lowest among them. How will our nation's population change if we can't overcome the declining birthrate every year?

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.
