w12: What is "quality" for our societies?

 

∎ What is "quality" for our societies?


1.

Quality refers to the total things that nature, value, usefulness, and rating of an object. In addition, criteria exist to determine quality. The criteria here are relative, not absolute. When asked to evaluate the quality of our society now, people will judge our society for different reasons. Each of these criteria is not a matter of right or wrong. It's just that each other's thoughts are different. However, I personally hope that when evaluating the quality of our society, we would like to evaluate non-material "value" rather than material. In modern times when capitalism prevails, people evaluate quality based on money. In that case, our society can focus only on matter, ignore the values beyond it, and live a desolate life.


2.

It evaluated 'OECD countries' national happiness levels from 2018 to 2020. Here, the basic data of the national happiness index is based on gross domestic product, working hours, fine dust concentration, life expectancy, and poverty rate for the elderly. South Korea ranked 35th out of 37 countries with 5.85 points out of 10.


3.

Happiness is invisible, so it can be difficult to evaluate. Therefore, it is hard to say that the national happiness survey conducted on OECD countries is 100% certain. However, why is our country's happiness index lower than other countries in the survey? And what criteria do you think should be included when evaluating the national happiness index?

    I read your comments very well. When I evaluate the quality of society, I think that the invisible should be higher than the material. In order for all the members of society to live in an integrated life, it is absolutely impossible in terms of material things, so we need an ideal evaluation, such as values, to some extent. I think the reason why our country's happiness index is low is due to the uncomfortable atmosphere. It's important to do it quickly, so it's inevitable that a lot of stress builds up because people don't admit to taking a break for a while.

W7: GFC book notes By 'William S. Kowinski' , 'Cory Doctorow','Piotr Konieczny' and 'Paul Youngquist'/ 진신

Summary- William S. Kowinski: The true exception is the innovative success of a collaborative effort that has prime online reference work called Wikipedia. This book is not meant to be biography or reportage, but contemporary ethnography or study of a culture. What this book does well is describe how Wikipedia works and what issues have arisen.  It's short on drama and personality，and so it's probably destined to be a source document. Since that seems unlikely, this may remain the best opportunity for learning about this remarkable project. Summary- Cory Doctorow: Reagle makes an excellent case that this assumption of good faith is particularly powerful when it comes to dealing with those who lack good faith — it creates positive outcomes for arguments with everyone from neo-Nazis to political hacks who're whitewashing their boss's entries. Wikipedia's most fascinating and unprecedented aspect isn't the encyclopedia itself — rather, it's the collaborative cu...

w9: Its often said by teachers that “Wikipedia is a good place to start, but a bad place to finish” why? LiuXinlei

 Its often said by teachers that “Wikipedia is a good place to start, but a bad place to finish” why? In terms of the comprehensiveness of the content, we have to admit the advantages of Wikipedia. For example, Wikipedia is undoubtedly my first choice when I don't understand an event at all. It is convenient, fast and comprehensive, and I can spend the least time to understand the whole content of this fact as comprehensively and neutrally as possible. But in the process of in-depth learning, Wikipedia can only be used as an introductory content, because in learning we need to understand this fact as much as possible, and we need to understand the different views of scholars in different regions on the same event. There will be different theories. Some theories seem to be not neutral or even discriminatory or ethnographic at present (such as Marxism and Marxism in China), and it is not suitable for Wikipedia. Be shown. In short, Wikipedia has a very low threshold for users. It assu...

W10 : Can we think of some example of how Internet has changed our culture? / 박소민(SOMIN PARK)

 1. Summary  The Internet has changed our culture so much. First, through the Internet, we can meet people regardless of distance. People in each country communicated over the Internet and reduced the barriers to distance by creating relationships. Also, the Internet has let us stay away from books. When we want to find expertise, we can get it from Wikipedia or Google. Even information in books can be obtained through e-books, reducing access to libraries and paper books. 2. Interesting point Further to the above, our brains are gradually degenerating because we don't have to remember information. We are constantly interrupted by SNS notifications ringing on our phones when we do something, so our concentration and attention are being reduced. Furthermore, the ease of obtaining information online is causing our short-term memory to decline. 3. Discussion point I think the Internet has made it easy to sever a relationship with a person because we can meet another person simply...
