授業の教育目的及び方針
Most of you were born and raised in Japan, but does it mean that you really understand how Japanese society works? This course aims to help students develop a better understanding of Japanese society. We will first learn the structure of Japanese society and then some patterns of interaction to understand why Japanese people behave in certain ways in certain situations. We will also look at behavioral patterns of American people to develop a comparative perspective. Ultimately, this course aims to help the students develop critical thinking and analytical skills as well as improve their English proficiency.
