양예주 yejoo Yang  1. Summary : Let’s begin an introduction to culture by taking the example in which the United States and India have different views on beef. Although we cannot simply define culture, culture refers to all social and non-biological aspects that we learn acquired after our biological nature. Cultures must be different from country to city. Theses cultures are not bound to be superior or inferior, but relative relationships. Anthropologists argue that cultures were created naturally or as necessary for human evolution. A culture can develop another culture and , as a result, deepen or resolve conflicts. How people view its culture can be divided into self-ethnicism and cultural relativism. Culture is constantly changing. The causes are diffusion theory, intercultural contact, or individual behavior. Cultural sociologists study the meaning, values, and influences of diverse cultures in life 2. Interesting or unusual items : It was interesting that among the various func...

Q. Are humans really rational? - Kim solhwi / 김솔휘

 Q. Are humans really rational? A. When asked if humans are rational, most people think they are right. Humans choose and think in ways that are a little more beneficial to them. But others probably are not. The question of whether humans are rational is that the subject is too broad. If the question was "Am I rational?" I would say yes, but I don't think I can give a definite answer because there are so many people on Earth and they are all different people.

Would the world be a better or worse place if we all spoke a single language?

  I think it will be convenient in all fields if everyone speaks the same language. However, I am worried about the transitional problem that will arise in the middle of the process of everyone speaking the same language. Infants and the elderly who have difficulty learning a new language do not understand another language, and communication problems are likely to be very serious.

  1. Summarizing This article is about the formation background and copyright of the free culture movement. The free culture movement is a social movement that promotes the freedom to distribute or modify works without compensation or consent to the original author of the work using the media. 2. Interesting point It was interesting that the law signed by President Clinton was called the Mickey Mouse Protection Act because of the enormous lobbying of music and film companies such as Disney. In addition, Eric Mueller and Benjamin Marco Hill criticized the lack of minimum standards for freedom in the free culture movement, and this criticism was interesting because I also think the movement needs a little minimum standards because I think the original author's copyright should be protected. 3. a point to discuss What would be the problem if the liberal culture movement succeeded and related legislation arose?

Culture is the non-biological or social aspect of human life and basically everything humans learn is part of it. 2. an interesting point In the past, culture meant activities such as high-end cooking, high fashion, or museum-level art or elite goods, but it was interesting that the concept of culture changed over time.

Summarise This Wikipedia article is about the Free Culture Movement. The free culture movement includes many aspects, such as music culture, copyright issues, knowledge sharing foundation, etc. The most important thing is actually free cultural works. Free cultural works include the works of many people. These people's works are approved for free cultural works, and only the shared license that restricts commercial use or derivative works is not approved. However, those who support free culture believe that excessively rigourous copyright laws and systems will limit innovation and creative expression, and more innovation and creation can be stimulated if the allowed works are freely used. The free culture movement has also influenced many fields, including the reform of copyright laws, the opening of educational resources, the sharing of scientific research, and the innovation and dissemination of works of art. It calls on society to reconsider and balance the copyright system to b...

Are humans really rational?

 I think humans are rational. But I don't think they're entirely rational. First of all, I'm not using it on the grounds that humans don't make the best rational choices that exist in the world. I mean humans don't make the best rational choices that they perceive. I think we all agree with this idea. But I don't know if making the most rational-looking and emotionally excluded choices is really the best option that helps me personally. If I think I have to produce something 'good' where thoughts and choices turn into one element, I feel fortunate that I'm not purely rational.
