【Title】「現代日本および外国の若者の生活と価値観」"Lives and Values of Young People in Contemporary Japan and Foreign Countries"
【Contents】 The purpose of this seminar is to compare culture and opinions of Japanese and foreign students, in order to draw out the characteristics of both societies. The themes of the research are the lives and values of young people in each country. Students will be expected to express these similarities and difference in English, and to write a report about them.

授業の概要Course Overview

1. Global Liberal Arts (GLA) courses are designed as "Joint Study Course" where Japanese students and international students learn together. Students will explore the "unique characteristics of Japan – including distinctive features, strengths, weaknesses" as well as "global contexts and trends" across various fields. Through the perspective of "Japan in the global context," students will recognize the differences between Japan and the world and collaboratively envision a better future for the world.
2. In addition to theoretical instruction through lectures, GLA courses emphasize collaboration between Japanese and international students through activities such as group work and discussions. The primary language of instruction will be English.
3. Students will choose from a list given by the teacher one topic they are interested in and conduct research on it. Each student will select one country from a country other than Japan, interviews 10 to 12 young people from that country and 12 young people from Japan, and compares their responses. Then, they will write a final report.
