1)
Summarize in your own words of
materials you read.
Wikipedia is a kind of social platform that
founded by Jimmy Wales for decades ago. At least just few years ago, there are
only a few people had interested on Wikipedia, but many scholars and
researchers are interested on Wikipedia as a social community. We need to variety
views to understand Wikipedia circumstance such as economics, politics,
history, law, etc.
2)
Mention of any new,
interesting, or unusual items learned.
Generally speaking, from late 18th
century when A. Smith spoke ‘selfish’ in economy, selfish is generally used in
other realm for understanding of one’s act. However, when I read this part of
article, I found ‘Collaborative Community’. It is really fresh to me who have
kinds of prejudice or stereotype for human’s act that is selfish.
3)
Question, Concern, Discussion
angle.
As we know there are lots of social
platforms include Wikipedia. And as we also know today is era of web 2.0 that
concept of sharing. So in my think Wikipedia is required not only inner sharing
but outer sharing that sharing with other platform. Is there any try or voices
for co-operative movement for sharing?
I found it interesting when you compare Collaborative Community with Adam Smith's perspective. However, I am not sure if 'the invisible hand' means selfishness when it comes to reasons for people's act.
ReplyDeleteInvisible hand is a major concept in economics. Both English and Korean Wikis have an entry on it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invisible_hand , https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%A6%8B%E3%81%88%E3%81%96%E3%82%8B%E6%89%8B )
