W9.Demography/Lim Ji Won

Demography is the study of population dynamics. It means a study of how the population changes over time due to population size, structure, distribution, birth, death, migration, and aging. Demography relies primarily on data from census and statistics, typically with fertility and mortality. In the case of the birth rate, the higher the educational achievement of women, the lower the birth rate, and the more advanced countries, the more expensive it is to raise children, the lower the birth rate. Death rates are also predictable through education levels, with more educated people living longer.In the early days of overpopulation, there was a theory that human populations should be controlled because of the rapid depletion of resources, which eventually makes it difficult for humans to live due to mass starvation and hunger, but on the contrary, there was also a person who approached himself with an attitude of neglect, saying that if the earth's ecosystem was overused, humans would naturally control themselves.

The most interesting thing was the use of education as an indicator of mortality. It is quite interesting that education levels and life span are correlated even when all other factors are controlled. I think that the correlation of mortality with education level proves that education itself is one of the devices representing the national system.

In advanced societies, there is a phenomenon of reverse urbanization moving from cities to rural areas, and do you think education levels can be used to predict this reverse urbanization?

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 ...
