우리는 디지털 세대를 잘 대처하고 있는가? American University, Jeongmin Yoon

 


3월 10일 워싱턴 DC의 이탈리아 대사관에서 제임스 루빈 미 국무부 글로벌 인게이지먼트 센터의 특사 겸 조정자가 참석한 "디지털 시대의 신뢰, 진실 및 영향력" 행사에 참여하였습니다.

글로벌 및 젊은 외교 전문가(YPFP)와 이탈리아 대사관의 디지털 외교 시리즈의 일환으로 열린 이 행사는 미국 주재 이탈리아 대사 마리안젤라 자피아에 의해 시작되었습니다.

허위 정보와 싸우는 소셜 미디어 플랫폼의 역할 뿐만 아니라 정보의 질을 향상시키고 대중의 신뢰를 높이기 위해 정부, 플랫폼 및 미디어 간의 파트너십을 강화하는 방법에 대해 이야기를 나누었습니다.

또한 디지털의 발전이 정치적 파워에도 굉장히 많은 영향력을 끼치고 있다는 얘기를 나누었습니다. 때문에 유럽의 각 국의 관계자들이 디지털 관련 문제에 대해 계속해서 다뤄왔으나 제대로 된 해결이 되지 않아 더 많은 전문가를 고용하여 해결해야 한다고 언급했습니다.

그리고 과연 이 문제를 정부가 해결할 수 있을 것인지에 대해 질문을 던졌습니다. 저는 지난 몇 년간 테크놀로지가 놀랍도록 빠른 속도로 발전했으나, 각 국의 정부 또한 그에 맞춰 빠르게 정책을 발전 시켜 오는걸 봤기 때문에 긍정적으로 이 문제를 정부가 해결할 수 있다고 믿습니다.

Kamalanomics: Home and Health

Vice President Kamala Harris recently unveiled her economic plan, which builds upon and expands several initiatives from the Biden administration while adding new elements aimed at addressing economic challenges faced by American families. Her plan, dubbed the "Opportunity Economy" agenda, focuses on lowering costs for essential goods and services, particularly targeting housing, healthcare, and groceries. Key Components: 1. Housing: Harris proposes constructing three million new homes to address the housing supply crunch, which is more ambitious than Biden's two-million-home plan. She also advocates for a $40 billion "innovation fund" to encourage local governments to find solutions to housing shortages and make it harder for investment companies to buy up large numbers of rental properties, which has driven up rent prices. (See: Comments to the CalPERS Board of Administration, July 15, 2024 on Housing and Environmental Investing.) 2. Healthcare: Expanding on B...

Maternal Health Financing Facility for Black Women: A Solution to an Urgent Problem

Maternal mortality is a significant issue in the United States, with Black women disproportionately affected. Research conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has shown that Black women are more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than their white counterparts. However, the issue is not new, and despite the increasing amount of data available, the disparities have remained unaddressed for far too long.  Creative Investment Research (CIR) is among the organizations that believe there is a solution to the problem. Through our proposed impact investing vehicle , the Maternal Health Financing Facility for Black Women (MHFFBW), we aim to tackle the mortality gap and support Black women during childbirth, which will, in turn, benefit their communities. The Facility, based on legally binding financing agreements containing terms and conditions that direct resources to individuals and institutions capable of addressing supply-side conditions at the heart...

September 2018 - 10 Questions William Michael Cunningham on Impact Investing, Blockchain, and Crowdfunding Interview by Carly Schulaka WHO: William Michael Cunningham WHAT: Economist, impact investing specialist, founder of Creative Investment Research WHAT'S ON HIS MIND: “Any finance professional in the U.S. should learn how to create a blockchain.” 1. You are an economist, an inventor, and an impact investing specialist. I’ve heard you say: “True innovation happens in a way that is independent of monetary returns.” How does this statement influence your work? It’s really about finding an interesting problem and applying financial technology to solving that problem or to dealing with that problem. You know, the people who invented the alphabet didn’t do so to make money. They had an interesting problem—communication on both a local and a grand scale—and if you were to calculate the social return for the invention of that technology or technique, it’s almost infinit...
