Week 13 | Reading | Lee Jaeseong

1. Summary
This paper critically considered the role in social development of race. No country today is homogeneous in the way of life, such as race, religion, etc. Ethnic groups are defined as part of a society in which members have common origins. Unlike social evolution, the concept of "social development" focuses on the problem of meeting human needs and improving the quality of life. It can also be expressed in various economic directives. There is a micro and macroscopic perspective in these social developments, and the macro-interpretation focuses on economic and social changes in developing countries and the authority of the community.

2. Interesting Point
Learning social development theory, I am learning that social development really requires a variety of factors. This time, I read a paper on how much local communities and peoples contribute to social development. Ethnic societies are small societies, but these societies will unite to form a large society. I thought that the development of a national society could lead to the development of a large society.

3. Discussion
Is it important to see social development microscopic? Is it important to look at the macro?

    I think a balanced view is important. If you look at social development too microscopically, you can miss a huge structure, and if you look too macro, you can miss individuals and small groups. I don't think we should be too extreme a point of view.

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.
