WHAT DOES A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE? / Kim Ami


1.     Summary

The most common definition of sustainable development is development that meets current needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. But this definition does not explain the current needs. In response, the article says it would be more effective to divide the problem into smaller ranges to make it easier to manage than to talk about sustainability in a large range. To this end, writer make four suggestions to help develop global sustainability.
1 Classify sustainability by sector: state exactly what areas you want to make sustainable.
2 Specifically: We should talk specifically about when, where and for whom we will make sustainable development.
3 Accurately identify who will benefit: clarify who will benefit from sustainable development.
4 Paint a picture: You must think critically about what sustainability will actually look like. Instead of thinking in a good direction unconditionally, we should think about how it will affect us.

2.     Interesting point

I've always thought the word "sustainable development" was ambiguous. I felt that the meaning of the word was different for each person. It was interesting to note this ambiguity. Also, the article said that it is difficult to predict the future. I think so, too. In response, the author says the UK-based Future Forum is working directly with the government and businesses to predict the future. It was interesting that I got to know this part anew.

3.     Discuission

In this article, the author says to look at the problem on a small scale, not on a broad scale. But if you look at a problem too narrowly, wouldn't there be a bigger problem later?

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.

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.
