Intro

This week, I learned 'Economy by sociology'. Economy is comprehensive theme. After lesson of economy, I was focused on the economic concept. When asked about the economy to the people, first consider the money. Although economy has been closely associated with the money, economy also affected society. Now, it is intended to summarize my thoughts of what has been discussed in class time.

Topic 1 : Why is descending the line in this graph?

This graph show about Trade Globalization. Era is changed, as the economy develops, average openness trade globalization`s degree was increased. For the economy to develop, the effect of the Industrial Revolution was the largest. There has been a steady growth of economy, but there was a sharp drop in economy in wonder 1917 and 1945. I think that one of the cause of the reduction of rapid economy is World War 1,2. Countries that participated in the war were spending a huge military spending in order to win the war. Countries of facility is also destroyed during the war and died a lot of people that can be economic activity. So, average openness trade globalization`s degree has decreased sharply. Another of cause of the reduction of rapid economy is the impact of the Cold War. Looking at the graph, from 1917 to 1945, to a low overall average openness trade globalization`s degree, this reason is a conflict of Communist camp and Freedom camp. For example, The United States has formed the NATO and The Soviet Union have formed the WTO. Both organizations were checks and balances politics, economy, culture forces, etc. to each other. In addition, the exchange only between countries that are included in the mechanism. In short, under the Cold War, the exchange between nations was little. So, economy was reduced.

Topic 2 : How will the technology change our lives in the future?

In modern society, technology has become an essential element. Technology is not invariant, changes to fluid. Advances of technology is to improve the quality of our lives and changes the style ( In short, Agrarian society→Industrial society→Information society.). For example, a dustpan to clean in the past was required. But, recently, there is a vacuum cleaner, it is much more convenient and practicable. Now, introduce an example of the most innovative technology. I mentioned the 3D printer.

• Definition of 3D printer

"The 3D Printer" is machine that produces three dimension solid goods based on entered drawing as "The 2D printer" print type and pictures.

• Function of 3D printer & Case

The 3D printer is very innovative items.  It is because it is possible to obatin a three-dimensional image than conventional 2D printer. For example, if the material is well the formulation, by printing a human joint, it can be used in medical applications. In fact, there is a printed case the finished product that has not undergone the procedure to assemble the bike and in the university, there is a case that was manufactured unmanned aircraft. The 3D printer is our advantage of us to useful life. However, if we use it to print out all of the product, economically reduce the work. As there is a disadvantage if there is advantage, if overcome problem of these points, it is going to be a printer that prides the best technology in the 21st century.

After an assignment

Through the lesson, I realized that economy and society was related to each other. As the economy develops, technology so as to development, and eventually was to enrich our lives.
