W13. The role of ethnic groups in social development/ Kim Seonghui

1. Summary
Since social development goals are not always clear or always in contact with people's daily lives, the authors noted equity, human resources, and the role of ethnic groups in terms of rights, empowerment, and resource use.
Ethnic groups have objective and subjective attributes, which are cultural properties expressed by experience. Subjective attributes include the recognition of an individual's identity.
The authors look at macro-social development, whose goal is ultimately to create a more humane world through institutions and organizations that will respond to people's needs. He said that social development would be possible if labor market policies were linked to social welfare plans and social issues were approached in a multilevel.
 
2. New/Interesting
GDP and GNP were somewhat aware, but I learned that they had to think about the GNW (Gross National Welfare) and the perspective of social development. Especially when I first heard about GNW, I wondered how to measure it. To this end, I thought that I should define what welfare is first and make indicators. Many data were available when searching for GDP and GNP indicators, but GNW had relatively no data. I wanted to know more about this part, but it was a bit disappointing.
 
3. Discussion
Is it useful to take a macro approach to social development or is it more useful to take a micro approach? What do you think? What are the advantages of each approach?

    I think it would be useful to take a small approach to social development.Because when you try to fix the little things after the macro approach and development, the vested interests that benefit a lot from the beggar approach often interfere with the development of the small approach. Therefore, I think more people can get happiness when developing everyone with a small approach, taking equity into account.

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 ...
