W.13 Gender and development / Juhee Cha

1.Summary
Gender and development is a study that deals with the heterogeneous effects of development and globalization on people based on their position, gender, class background, and other social and political identities. The approach to development is aimed at improving a country's economic well-being and subsequent quality of life for its people. Gender and development consider the same factors, but gender and development highlight efforts to understand how multifaceted these problems are in the complex context of culture, government and globalization.
The initial approach includes women in development (WID), women and development (WAD), gender and development (GAD). Neoliberal approaches include Gender and neoliberal development instabilities, Gender and Outsourcing, Gender financial creases, neoliberal economic policies, and Smart economics. There are also approaches with different paradigms.

2.Interesting Point
The approach to gender and out sourcing was interesting. Outsourcing is a phenomenon in which Western companies move their businesses to other countries, because labor costs are cheap. Out sourcing is a business term, but it is said to have a big impact on women as well. Out sourcing allows women in countries where jobs are not easy to get, usually where working conditions are not safe. Problems such as overtime, wage deductions and unsanitary working conditions exist. Women without jobs and income cannot complain and expect a safe working environment because of the fear of dismissal. I thought it would happen a lot in developing countries where there was no development.

3.Discussion
I recently saw a notice from a company, and I saw gender-separated things for certain jobs. For example, there is a notice called 'Three Software Developers Looking for Men, Two Designers Looking for Women'. How can we see this from a development perspective?

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.

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 ...
