W7. Why Free Culture matters? - Sujin Park

In class, we studied about free culture. Creative Commons License is one of the example. I uploaded some pictures in Wikicommons. But it was so hard work because there is no free picture of my subject. So I searched a lot of time to find what I want.  Internet copyright is greatly ignored in South Korea. Koreans often use fonts, pictures, and videos that are posted on the Internet without permission. The reason for this is that the wording on the use of copyright is weak. So people are using it as they please without revealing the source. I think it is necessary to clarify the free and pay and copyright on this point. Koreans must strengthen their perception of copyright. What kind of things we can do for this?

Promotion of copyright must be strengthened. The promotion of copyright is currently inadequate. Because of this, people sometimes do not know the concept of copyright itself. I think the most important part is promoting copyright.  I think this should be done from the country. Not only do these problems occur within the country in this society, they affect other countries as well. Therefore, Korea should make its own efforts to do so.

    I agree that it is important to promote copyright. In fact, I do not know if the copyright is well protected in other countries, but Korea seems to lack the perception that it should keep copyright. The copyright is not visible, and it seems to me that one would be okay because it is used by an individual. In the future, copyright about creation will become more important. Therefore, I think that copyright awareness must change.

W5. Can we trust Wikipedia? - Seron Kim

Wikipedia is a large site used by people all over the world. People get information through Wikipedia and edit article directly when needed. Through the action of collective intelligence, Wikipedia is becoming more and more developed and growing. Can we trust Wikipedia? I think "We can trust Wikipedia but we should not trust it unconditionally.“   Obviously Wikipedia is reliable. Wikipedia itself has an implicit framework for editing, and people follow it and use it. It is also possible to increase the trust of the article by leaving a source for the information, and to delete the edited information through a predetermined process. So there will be more and more reliable information in Wikipedia.   But you should not trust Wikipedia unconditionally. Because there may be misinformation in Wikipedia. Of course, there is a high possibility that it will be fixed through the deletion function of Wikipedia and the collective intelligence of people. But it will be a ...

W1. What do I know about Wikipedia and what do I want to learn about it? - Yong il, Seon.

We learned another idea, we want an easy explanation.          Many people used Wikipedia. Why people visited Wikipedia? I have much thought about the answer to this question. Everyone will be editor in Wikipedia. So, several people’s opinions can be confirmed on one issue. It is also an important characteristic of democracy. Democracy is the recognition of the other’s ideas. And already in France, there were ‘Tolerance’. It means that As I am right in my opinion, and so you are right in your opinion. I think Wikipedia is making ‘Tolerance idea’ work very well. So, you can not force your own ideas on Wikipedia. Depending on the situation, users may be students, teachers, or even completely different third parties. From these points of view, Wikipedia is the modern version of Greece’s Agora.            And it is not over. Always people want an easy expanation, the more complex the case. Wikipedia has a structured form...

W2. My first edits. Describe why you made them. - Seron Kim

I rarely had access to Wikipedia before this class. Because there is a service called 'Knowledge in' operated by Naver in Korea. I've been used to the 'Knowledge in' for a long time, so I've always used it if there's something I don't know. However, I got to know Wikipedia in this class. Wikipedia has a much larger volume of data than I thought, and it is being used by people all over the world. Also, anyone could edit information. I want to search and edit my favorite soccer information. So I decided to do the editing on my idols, Ko Jong-soo and Nadson.   What was interesting about editing was that although the Korean Wikipedia was detailed by the players who played in the Korean league, the English Wikipedia had little or no information. So I want to edit more. Because I want to add their information to English Wikipedia to let people around the world know.   Different countries have Wikipedia sites and the amount and quality of informati...
