WK 10.1 Human Rights - Hanane Ben Abdeslam

Human rights protect the dignity of every person. You have human rights because you are human, regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion, or political beliefs. They apply anywhere, anytime, to anyone. Human rights have a special place in law. They are laid down in the constitution and international agreements have been made about it. As a result, a government cannot simply set aside human rights. Furthermore, human rights are often divided into categories. You have civil and political rights. This includes, for example, the right to a fair trial and the right to freedom of expression. You also have economic, social and cultural rights, such as the right to a decent standard of living, the right to work and decent working conditions, and the right to education. All human rights are equally important and they are all necessary to protect human dignity. The right to equal treatment is therefore part of all human rights. Measures are sometimes needed to achieve equality in human rights. For example, everyone has the right to access information. If the website of a municipality is not accessible to people with a visual impairment, they cannot exercise that right in the same way as people who can see well. So, the government must then adjust the website to ensure that everyone has the right to information in practice.

What is interesting, is that on the other hand, human rights also require government actions. The right to a fair trial also means that the government must ensure that you have access to a lawyer if you are suspected of a criminal offense. The right to education means that the government must ensure that all children have access to education.

If you don’t live in Korea but in another country, how are the human rights there?

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.

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.
