Title: The Fourth Industrial Revolution, Crises of Humanitarianism, and the Red Cross Movement
Abstract: As we can see from Urich Beck's definition of modern society as a dangerous society, the Industrial Revolution, though it led to the development of science and the industrial economy, has also created various crises. Among them, the most fundamental is the crisis of humanitarianism. In this regard we ask: What are the precise crises of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and how should we cope with them? With a view to answering these questions, we take a historical perspective to investigate the relationship between industrial revolutions. Additionally, we explore the development of the Korean Red Cross. On the basis of our consideration of the crises at issue, we present and defend the following three suggestions: First, in order to advance the activities of humanitarianism, we require index development and platform-building based on digital data. Second, we need to apply new technologies to the activities of disaster management in order to facilitate an expansion of international law. Third, we need to create new education programs in accordance with the digital age. Keywords: Disaster, Industrial Revolution, Humanitarianism, Red Cross, Digital Age
