Topic: who is affected by the digital divide, can we think of some groups

Summary


The digital divide refers to the economic and social differences between those who have easy access to information and those who do not. The 21st century means that so much information has been poured out that it is called the information age and the opportunity to access it has increased as much, but the question has changed from "how accurate and necessary information can be obtained" to the question of "how much information can you access?" It is also linked to the gap between the rich and the poor because the more information in their favor gives them more options for action and allows them to move ahead of others. This is because they can benefit from the information obtained and continue to widen the gap with those who do not. It is also seen by many as being linked to class-trafficking voting. Many organizations are trying to present and realize solutions to this problem. This mainly includes people with no economic power, people without computer or Internet access, people under information control, and people with geographical difficulties. 

Interesting


More information does not mean easier access to information. Rather, there is so much information that it has become difficult to access it properly. In other words, there are good things, but bad things have increased that much. This view gave me a new perspective. 

Discussion
So how do we solve these problems? You can't solve this simply with the development of technology. What should everyone do to get these benefits? It is still too early for this to be resolved by technological advances.

How can we reduce the suicide rates in Korea?

How can we reduce the suicide rates in Korea? -       Since Korea is the number one suicide rate among OECD countries, many efforts have been made to lower it. Currently, the government is establishing a public-private cooperation system to prevent suicide based on the community. In addition, emergency medical institutions are working together to prevent suicide attempters from leading to secondary suicide, thereby strengthening the response to suicide attempts and preventing secondary spread. In addition to this, the government has made numerous efforts, including specialized suicide prevention projects for each life cycle and creating a culture of respect for suicide prevention life. But the first thing to change is people's perception of psychiatry. Depression, a major cause of suicide, is a disease, so it is natural to go to the hospital for treatment. However, many people in Korea think that going to a psychiatrist is strange. It is thought that it is difficult to reduce

Week 11-4. Did you find yourself changing your presentation when you met with different people? Male/females? Attractive/ nor attractive? Others?

I personally find myself changing my presentation with different people. I am much comfortable with females because the conversation topic is more in common and girls are often more compassionate than boys. I find myself more comfortable, funny and soft in front of girls. Also, I become very talkative and outgoing when I'm with people that I think are attractive. I feel desire to appeal myself when I see someone that I like, because naturally you can be more awkward and less confident when you're interested in that person but I don't want to hide myself.  I am usually relaxed and calm in person but attractive friends make me active, which can give me inner energy so I try to hang out with favorite people a lot.
