Week 7 | WHAT DOES A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE? | Lee Jaeseong

1. Summary
The most common definition comes from 1987’s Brundtland Report:
“Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”
However, this is open to interpretation. What are the current requirements? African and American requirements will be quite different.
There are four suggestions to help develop the global sustainability story.
1. reak sustainability down by sector
- Details of what is sustainable are important. For example, if the goal is to create sustainable energy, is it to reduce carbon emissions or to create clean energy?
2.  Speak in specifics
- Let's be specific. This is because everyone thinks differently about the sustainable world.
3. Clearly identify who benefits
- Who helps make money with sustainable clothing? Is it a success if the extinction rate for plants and animals continues to increase?
4. Paint a picture
- What is actually sustainability? What is different from the society we live in?

2. Interesting Point
I became interested in the question of whether there was any specific definition of sustainable development. I thought sustainable development is the development that maintains a society that our future generations will enjoy. By the way, what should we do about it? What is a sustainable development? Thinking like this made me feel dizzy. I came to think about this.

3. Discussion
What is sustainable energy? Reducing carbon emissions? Or renewable energy? Or something else?

    I think sustainable energy is an inexhaustible energy. In other words, I think it is energy that can be used again if it is purified after use. For example, I think this is sustainable energy because water vapor can become water again if water evaporates to get energy. In addition, energy that does not run out, such as solar power, solar power, and wind speed, is considered sustainable energy.

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. 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 ...
