The MDG is a quantitative goal that identifies the minimum well-being and progress toward quality of life that should be achieved globally and nationally by 2015. The statement argues that the MDG is a collection of random targets far from development. Development can take many forms. It can be led by the state or by citizens. It can focus on economic development. The principles of development are diverse. One common factor is strong leadership combined with a stable period. Some African countries tried to develop after independence, but neglected their populations, and, worst of all, intensified repression and faltered development with dictatorial leaders. Then there was a military coup and the resulting economic and social instability. "Social policies are often defined as social services such as education. Health, employment and social security. But social policy is also about redistribution, protection and social justice.According to the United Nations, social development includes the meaning of "sustainably promoting a more equitable distribution of opportunities, income, assets, services and power to achieve greater equality and fairness in society." The MDG ignores its commitments to social development. No further mention of the commitment "to recognize and improve women's participation and leadership roles in politics, citizens, the economy, society, culture, life and development" has been made. In 1995, full employment disappeared, which was one of the four elements of the program. The only remaining goal is to implement a strategy for dignified and productive jobs for young people. It should propose to officials and policy makers that the Millennium Development Goals are a small part of the social development agenda. The MDG and poverty eradication shifted attention away from the broader social agenda of individual states integrated with economic, fiscal and employment policies. Only when each country successfully builds its own value base and establishes a coherent and integrated social development policy will Korea have sustainable means of overcoming society and poverty for everyone.

In the past I wrote down my thoughts on the Millennium development goal. I learned from Wikipedia that the Millennium Development Goals are eight international Development Goals. These include eradicating extreme poverty and hunger, ensuring basic education, promoting gender equality, strengthening women's capabilities, reducing child mortality, health, disease, environment and global partnerships. However, the paper points out that the MDGs are not actually considering social development. When I read the definition of Millennium Development Goals in the past, I thought it was a system that theoretically makes a good society. But on second thought, MDGs are too broad and difficult to apply. I think that under the ideology for social development, each country should be tailored to each country's environment and situation for social development. MDGs are good for guidelines, but they are too broad a system.

In this paper, it points out that the MDGs are too broad and are not actually considering social development. As mentioned above, MDG's ideology is eradicating extreme poverty and hunger, ensuring basic education, promoting gender equality, empowering women, reducing child mortality, health, disease, environment and global partnerships. Do you think MDG ideology is too broad?

I agree with you. Even if the MDGs are too broad, I think we can prioritize vulnerable areas and more important goals for each country to implement the Millennium Development Goals. Therefore, it is not important that the MDGs themselves should be composed in a narrow range, but we should propose detailed goals, even if they have a large range, so that various countries can reset their own MDGs according to their circumstances.
