Week 10 | Human Right | Lee Jaeseong


1. Summary
Human rights are moral principles and norms that describe certain standards of human behavior and human rights protected by international law. Human rights are impossible to transfer and are the right that everyone has to be fair.
Human rights have emerged as a hot topic since the beginning of the idea of natural rights. After World War II, I came to think about issues such as discrimination and racial discrimination among countries and established the basis of human rights mentioned above through the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
The United Nations is the only multilateral government agency in the world to accept human rights universally. There are numerous committees within the United Nations that are responsible for protecting various human rights treaties. These human rights exist in each country and region. For example, in Asia, there is the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
All human beings are granted equal human rights regardless of geographical location, state, race or culture. It is called human rights universalism. However, they argue that human rights are not universal in cultural relativism and actually collide with some cultures and threaten their survival.

2. Interesting Point
It was new that human rights can sometimes be overpowered. The human rights I have learned have always been a natural right above all laws. However, in a national emergency, human rights can be restricted or overpowered and recognized worldwide.

3. Discussion
Criminals can be said to be those who have harmed the victims' human rights of the victim. So, should we protect the human rights of criminals?

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.

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.
